How do I contact the shelter about GUMIS?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe Polen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw GUMIS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt GUMIS if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe Polen 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 GUMIS 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 GUMIS 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 Hundehilfe Polen early rather than rehoming privately; they know GUMIS 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 (DE). 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.

GUMIS

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

G UMIS 23208 (POA) – SENIOR - male dog, neutered, geb. ca. 2017, shoulder height unter 30cm This little sweetie seems to have already gone through quite a bit in life. He is on medication for his heart, and the animal shelter discovered an old, healed hip fracture when he arrived. But Gumiś isn't easily brought down by his ailments: his illnesses barely affect his everyday life. We noticed nothing unusual when he was brought to us. He walks well and calmly on the leash, is alert and curious about everything, full of life. The caretaker has to lift him in the end so we can get a few nice photos of his little face. He comes to us right away, likes to be stroked and scratched, and enjoys our attention, a very affectionate little guy. According to the caretaker, he gets along very well with other dogs and is housed with male and female dogs in a run. (04/2026, B/C)

G UMIS 23208 (POA) – SENIOR - Rüde, kastriert, geb. ca. 2017, Schulterhöhe unter 30cm Dieser süße Zwerg hat offenbar schon einiges im Leben durchmachen müssen. Er bekommt Tabletten für sein Herz und das Tierheim hat einen alten, verheilten Beckenbruch bei ihm festgestellt, als er zu ihnen kam. Doch davon lässt sich Gumiś nicht unterkriegen: Seine Erkrankungen beeinträchtigen seinen Alltag kaum. Auch wir merken nichts, als er zu uns gebracht wird. Er läuft gut und entspannt an der Leine, ist aufgeweckt und neugierig an allem interessiert, voller Lebenslust. Die Pflegerin muss ihn am Ende auf den Arm nehmen, damit wir ein paar schöne Fotos von seinem Gesichtchen bekommen. Er kommt gleich zu uns, mag gern gestreichelt und gekrault werden, genießt unsere Aufmerksamkeit, ein ganz liebevoller kleiner Kerl. Laut Pflegerin versteht er sich sehr gut mit anderen Hunden und sitzt mit Rüden und Hündinnen zusammen in einem Zwinger. (04/2026, B/C)

About GUMIS

What life with GUMIS looks like

GUMIS is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Polen in Dierkshausen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
