GRYZ

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Born in 2016, GRYZ was wandering the streets of Swiss Street late at night. He was very confused and scared, barking nervously trying to scare us away. Currently, the dog has become accustomed to us and allows his chosen caregivers to take him for walks. He has the potential to be a loving and cheerful puppy, but there is still a lot of work to be done with him. He does not like touching around the neck, he panics then, not quite knowing how to behave and may snap with his teeth. If there is too much interference near him, he does not fully understand what is happening, feels insecure, and may growl and scare by snapping; unfortunately, in situations where he feels threatened, he can bite, although these incidents were never serious. He walks nicely on a leash, outside the box he behaves very politely, acts like a puppy, enjoys "freedom." On walks, he avoids contact with other dogs, tries not to interact with them, however in the kennel run located on the yard he is very interested in them. He is a food lover, which makes it easier to convince him to come to you. GRYZ is really a nice and friendly little dog who needs help overcoming some fears and working through certain behaviors. We are looking for a responsible and loving owner for this handsome dog, who will properly care for him and work with him on changing his behavior.

Rok urodzenia: 2016 Gryz błąkał się po ulicy Szwajcarskiej późnym wieczorem. Był bardzo zdezorientowany i przerażony, że strachu kłapał ząbkami, próbując nas odstraszyć. Obecnie psiak przyzwyczaił się do nas i wybranym opiekunom pozwala zabrać się na spacerek. Ma potencjał do bycia kochanym i radosnym psiakiem, do tego jednak trzeba wykonać przy psiaku jeszcze sporo pracy. Nie przepada za dotykiem w okolicy szyi, panikuje wtedy, nie do końca wie jak się zachować i może kłapnąć ząbkami. Przy zbytniej ingerencji przy nim nie do końca wie co się dzieje, nie czuje się pewnie, może wtedy powarkiwać i odstraszać kłapaniem; niestety w sytuacjach, w których czuje się zagrożony, potrafi ugryźć, choć incydenty te nigdy nie były poważne. Ładnie spaceruje na smyczy, poza boksem zachowuje się bardzo grzecznie, hasa niczym szczeniaczek, cieszy się z „wolności”. Na spacerze unika kontaktu z innymi psami, stara się nie wchodzić z nimi w interakcje jednak w kojcu, który znajduje się na wybiegu jest nimi bardzo zainteresowany. Jest łakomczuszkiem, dzięki temu łatwiej go do siebie przekonać. Gryz jest naprawdę fajnym i pogodnym pieskiem, który potrzebuje pomocy w przełamaniu niektórych lęków i przepracowaniu pewnych zachowań. Poszukujemy dla tego pięknisia odpowiedzialnego i kochającego właściciela, który zaopiekuje się nim należycie i będzie z nim pracował nad zmianą zachowań. Zdjęcia wykonane przez Kamilę Poźniak

About GRYZ

What life with GRYZ looks like

GRYZ is a 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 GRYZ, answered.

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