Adopt Franio

Male · Young · 3 years

♥ Virtual guardians of Frania are Renata, Marcin, and Magda ♥ The dog arrived at our animal shelter on April 27, 2023. Franio was found with another dog somewhere among the fields. It's likely the dogs had wandered for quite some time and had little contact with humans, as they were very distrustful, withdrawn, and avoided contact with anyone upon arrival at the animal shelter. After some time socializing with people at the animal shelter, Franio began to trust them and eagerly approaches everyone, waiting for something nice. He knows that there's nothing to fear, and although he still carries some fears from the past, he has made significant progress and is much braver than before, no longer avoiding contact. He is also conflict-free with other dogs. Walking on a leash will likely require some training.

♥ Wirtualnymi opiekunami Frania są Renata, Marcin i Magda ♥ Pies trafił do nas 27.04.2023 Franio został znaleziony wraz z drugim psem gdzieś wśród pól. Prawdopodobnie psy błąkały się dość długo i nie miały zbyt wiele kontaktu z człowiekiem, bo po po przyjeździe do schroniska były bardzo nieufne, wycofane i unikały kontaktu z kimkolwiek. Po dłuższym czasie obcowania z ludźmi w schronisku Franio nabrał zaufania do nich i chętnie podchodzi do każdego w oczekiwaniu na coś miłego. Wie już, że nie ma się czego bać i chociaż jeszcze siedzą w nim lęki z przeszłości, to już zrobił duże postępy i jest o wiele śmielszy niż kiedyś i nie unika kontaktu. Wobec innych psów jest bezkonfliktowy. Na pewno chodzenie na smyczy będzie wymagało trochę nauki.

About Franio

What life with Franio looks like

Franio is a small young adult dog waiting at Fundacja Przyjaciele Braci Mniejszych in Poland.

An young 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 Franio, answered.

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