Adopt Demodex

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Demodex, affectionately called Demiś, was born around 2011, a larger dog. The ladies from our veterinary office bravely fought for his health when he arrived from Gmina Damnica very emaciated, with scabies, and other diseases resulting from many neglects. Thanks to the efforts of the staff, Demiś completely changed - from a hairless, emaciated and lifeless dog, he became a dog full of positive energy. He gained appropriate shape and size, but also strength. He happily goes for walks, spending his time between sniffing and playing. He likes and very willingly initiates all contacts with humans, and on his snout there is always a broad smile and gratitude that he shows to every two-legged friend. After temporary problems with overweight, Demiś now has an impeccable figure and beautiful coat and a sparkle in his eye. Demiś lives in a kennel with another dog, with whom he gets along, but he is more dominant. He knows the command "sit," which he performs in an instant if a good treat appears on the horizon. After many adventures, the dog is looking for a home that will be forever and that will provide him with what he needs most.

Demodex, a w skrócie Demiś to urodzony około 2011 roku większy psiak. O jego stan zdrowia dzielnie walczyły panie z naszego gabinetu weterynaryjnego, gdy przyjechał do nas z Gminy Damnica bardzo wychudzony, ze świerzbem, a także z innymi chorobami, będącymi skutkiem wielu zaniedbań. Dzięki staraniom pracowników Demiś zmienił się całkowicie – z psiaka bez sierści, wychudzonego i bez życia, stał się psem pełnym pozytywnej energii. Nabrał odpowiednich kształtów i rozmiarów, ale zyskał również na sile. Chętnie wychodzi na spacery, na których dzieli czas pomiędzy węszeniem, a mizianiem. Lubi i bardzo chętnie inicjuje wszelkie kontakty z człowiekiem, a na jego pyszczku zawsze widnieje szeroki uśmiech i wdzięczność, którą obdarza każdego dwunożnego kumpla. Po przejściowych kłopotach z nadwagą, obecnie Demiś ma nienaganną sylwetkę oraz piękną sierść i błysk w oku. W boksie z innym psem pokazał się jako zgodny, ale bardziej dominujący. Zna komendę ‘siad’, którą wykona w mgnieniu oka, jeśli na horyzoncie pojawi się dobry smaczek. Po wielu perypetiach psiak szuka domu, który będzie po prostu na zawsze i który zapewni mu to czego on najbardziej potrzebuje.

About Demodex

What life with Demodex looks like

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

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Demodex, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Demodex?
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 Demodex on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Demodex 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 Demodex 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 Demodex 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 Demodex 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.
