ELMER

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Born in 2017, ELMER is a cute, large guy with black fur decorated with an elegant white "necktie" and socks. He is 8 years old, but his eyes still show youthful joy and energy. He came to us from Swiebodzin and has already shown himself to be a cheerful, friendly, and sociable dog since the first moments. Putting on the harness was no problem for him, and walks are his greatest passion - he loves discovering the world, especially when he can dip his paws into a stream. His second great love are sticks, which can occupy him for long periods. ELMER barks at other dogs during walks, however we have not yet had the opportunity to check how he reacts in direct contact. He is a strong, but very cheerful dog, who will certainly be a great companion for an active person who values shared adventures with a four-legged friend.

Rok urodzenia: 2017 Elmer to uroczy, duży chłopak o czarnej sierści ozdobionej eleganckim białym „krawatem” i skarpetkami. Ma 8 lat, ale w jego oczach wciąż widać młodzieńczą radość i energię. Przyjechał do nas ze Świebodzina i już od pierwszych chwil dał się poznać jako wesoły, kontaktowy i towarzyski pies. Ubieranie szelek nie sprawiło mu żadnego problemu, a spacery są jego największą pasją – uwielbia odkrywać świat, szczególnie kiedy może przy okazji zanurzyć łapki w strumyku. Jego drugą wielką miłością są patyczki, które potrafią zająć go na długie chwile. Elmer na spacerach szczeka na inne psy, jednak nie mieliśmy jeszcze okazji sprawdzić, jak reaguje w bezpośrednim kontakcie. To silny, ale bardzo radosny pies, który z pewnością będzie wspaniałym towarzyszem dla osoby aktywnej i ceniącej wspólne przygody z czworonogiem.

About ELMER

What life with ELMER looks like

ELMER is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Bezdomnych Zwierząt w Zielonej Górze in Zielona Góra.

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 ELMER, answered.

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