Franio

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Franio was brought by volunteers from one of the city's warehouses and asked for help. The dog had serious walking problems - a poorly healed fracture and a severe wrist sprain. If help had arrived earlier, "renovation" of Frania would have been easier. Now we have only stem cells and rehabilitation, which are supposed to improve his walking. Franio is a nice and happy dog, about 3 years old. He is reserved towards strangers, but charming towards his own kind. He fiercely hunts rats, as befits a distant, very distant descendant of a terrier. Height 35 cm, weight approx.

Franio został przywieziony przez wolontariuszy z jednego z miejskich magazynów i poproszony o pomoc.Psiak miał poważne problemy z utykaniem – źle wygojone złamanie i poważne zwichnięcie nadgarstka.Gdyby pomoc nadeszła wcześniej, „renowacja” Frania byłaby łatwiejsza. Teraz pozostały nam komórki macierzyste i rehabilitacja, które mają poprawić chodzenie.Franio to miły i szczęśliwy pies, ma około 3 lat. Jest powściągliwy w stosunku do obcych, ale czarujący w stosunku do swoich rodaków. Niszczy szczury zaciekle, jak przystało na dalekiego, ale dalekiego potomka jamnika.Wysokość 35 cm, waga ok. 9 kg

About Franio

What life with Franio looks like

Franio is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Wzajemnie Pomocni 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 Wzajemnie Pomocni 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 Wzajemnie Pomocni 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 Wzajemnie Pomocni 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.
