Chiro

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Born in 2019. This is a little dog whose past is unknown to us. He is reserved, frightened and uncertain, but does not show aggression. It is necessary to very carefully attach the leash, as it is clearly visible that he is afraid if he does not know someone. To a person he knows and likes, he allows caresses and happily reacts to her sight. He enjoys playing with his favorite ball. On a walk, he walks nicely on the leash, gladly uses the coolness in the stream, likes to roll in the grass, sand or gravel, which he treats as a kind of massage. He is obedient towards other dogs. Heart problems were detected in Chiro at the shelter, but since he has been taking cardiac medication, he functions quite well. However, it should be noted that long and strenuous walks are not recommended.

Urodzony w 2016 roku. To malutki piesek (10 kg), którego przeszłość nie jest nam znana. Jest zamknięty w sobie, zalękniony i niepewny, ale nie przejawia agresji. Trzeba bardzo delikatnie podpinać mu smycz, bo wyraźnie widać, że się boi, jeśli kogoś nie zna. Osobie znanej i lubianej pozwala na pieszczoty i radośnie reaguje na jej widok. Chętnie się bawi swoją ulubioną piłeczką. Na spacerze idzie ładnie na smyczy, chętnie korzysta z ochłody w strumyku, lubi się tarzać po trawie, piasku czy żwirku, co traktuje, jako rodzaj masażu. Jest uległy w stosunku do innych psów. U Chiro wykryto w schronisku problemy z sercem, ale odkąd przyjmuje leki kardiologiczne, funkcjonuje całkiem dobrze. Należy jednak pamiętać, że długie i forsowne spacery nie są wskazane. W schronisku od końca listopada 2022.

About Chiro

What life with Chiro looks like

Chiro is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku in Poland.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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 Chiro, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chiro?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chiro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chiro if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku 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 Chiro 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 Chiro 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 dla Zwierząt w Słupsku early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chiro 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.
