Adopt Brexit

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Brexit is a German Shepherd who arrived at the animal shelter very withdrawn and distrustful. His behavior at first indicated that he felt threatened and was defending himself against anyone who tried to approach him. This is a natural reaction of a dog who has experienced difficult times in the past and never had a chance for a calm and safe life. Fortunately, thanks to the great patience and commitment of the shelter staff and volunteers, Brexit has slowly begun to open up to human contact. Each day he shows that he has a big heart and the willingness to build a bond, but he needs time, calmness and consistency. Brexit is quite a specific dog - he needs a home that will understand his needs and provide him with a sense of security. An ideal caregiver is an experienced person or someone willing to work with a behaviorist, who will help him overcome his distrust with patience, delicacy and consistency. If you have a lot of calmness, heart and patience, and you want to give a dog who really needs it a chance, Brexit is waiting just for you. Together you can create an exceptional bond, based on mutual understanding and respect. Let's help Brexit find a home where he can feel loved and safe.

Brexit to pies w typie owczarka niemieckiego, który do schroniska trafił bardzo wycofany i nieufny. Jego zachowanie na początku wskazywało, że czuje się zagrożony i broni się przed każdym, kto próbował się do niego zbliżyć. To naturalna reakcja psa, który doświadczył w przeszłości trudnych chwil i nie miał szansy na spokojne i bezpieczne życie. Na szczęście dzięki ogromnej cierpliwości oraz zaangażowaniu pracowników i wolontariuszy schroniska, Brexit zaczął powoli otwierać się na kontakt z człowiekiem. Z każdym dniem pokazuje, że ma w sobie wielkie serce i gotowość do budowania więzi, ale wymaga czasu, spokoju i konsekwencji. Brexit to pies dosyć specyficzny — potrzebuje domu, który będzie rozumiał jego potrzeby i zapewni mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Idealny opiekun to osoba doświadczona lub gotowa na współpracę z behawiorystą, która z cierpliwością, delikatnością i konsekwencją pomoże mu pokonać nieufność i w pełni zaufać. Jeśli masz w sobie dużo spokoju, serca i cierpliwości, a także chcesz dać szansę psu, który naprawdę tego potrzebuje, Brexit czeka właśnie na Ciebie. Razem możecie stworzyć wyjątkową więź, opartą na wzajemnym zrozumieniu i szacunku. Pomóżmy Brexitowi odnaleźć dom, w którym będzie mógł czuć się kochany i bezpieczny.

About Brexit

What life with Brexit looks like

Brexit is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Tomaszów Mazowiecki in Poland.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Brexit, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Brexit?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Tomaszów Mazowiecki handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Brexit on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Brexit if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Tomaszów Mazowiecki will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Brexit already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Brexit isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Schronisko Tomaszów Mazowiecki early rather than rehoming privately; they know Brexit and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (PL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
