Gratis

Mixed Breed · Male

I'm looking for a home. My name is Gratis. They say I have something of a terrier in me. Whether someone bought me at the market or just took me in – no one remembers anymore. It is known, however, that I lived in a barn for a long time and slept on an old mattress. I also have a memento from my former life – a paw injury. Unfortunately, it's too late to fix it with surgery, so my paw will never be completely functional again. Sometimes I curl it up, but in everyday life I manage really well. I really like other dogs. I have my dog friends with whom I feel safe. At first, when I arrived in a new place, my fellow sufferer and I fell asleep huddled together. Today I get along with most dogs. In stressful situations, I prefer to back off a bit and wait it out. I have a difficult past, but with each day I am becoming more convinced of people. When I see volunteers, I immediately start wagging my tail. I could probably also live with cats and older children – those who understand that sometimes I need some space. I'm about 2 years old, weigh 9 kg, and I'm already neutered. My biggest dream is a quiet home and a person who will show me that a good life is just beginning.

Szukam domu. Mówią na mnie Gratis. Podobno mam w sobie coś ze sznaucera. Czy kiedyś ktoś kupił mnie na targu, czy po prostu przygarnął – tego już nikt nie wie. Wiadomo tylko, że przez długi czas mieszkałem w stodole i spałem na starym materacu. Mam też pamiątkę po dawnym życiu – uraz łapki. Niestety jest już za późno, żeby można było ją naprawić operacją, więc moja łapka już nigdy nie będzie całkiem sprawna. Czasem ją podwijam, ale w codziennym życiu radzę sobie naprawdę dobrze. Bardzo lubię inne Psy. Mam swoich psich kumpli, z którymi czuję się bezpiecznie. Na początku, kiedy trafiłem w nowe miejsce, razem z moim towarzyszem niedoli zasypialiśmy wtuleni w siebie. Dziś dogaduję się z większością Psów. W stresujących sytuacjach wolę się trochę wycofać i przeczekać. Mam za sobą trudną przeszłość, ale z każdym dniem coraz bardziej przekonuję się do ludzi. Kiedy widzę wolontariuszy, od razu zaczynam merdać ogonem. Prawdopodobnie mógłbym zamieszkać także z Kotami oraz starszymi dziećmi – takimi, które rozumieją, że czasem potrzebuję trochę przestrzeni. Mam około 2 lata, ważę 9 kg i jestem już wykastrowany. Najbardziej marzę o spokojnym domu i człowieku, który pokaże mi, że dobre życie dopiero się zaczyna.

About Gratis

What life with Gratis looks like

Gratis is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GRUPA RATUJ Wrocław 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 Gratis, answered.

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