IKSIU

Mixed Breed · Male

A white boy who is just beginning to believe that the world can be good 🤍 IKSIU is about 1.5 years old. He is of medium size, completely white, with gently reddish spots on his ears, and it's really hard to pass him by without noticing. He arrived with us as an intervention, from a home where instead of safety there was alcohol, drugs, chaos, and neglect. With him, 15-year-old Bibi — an older female dog with huge teats — was also taken. Bibi has already had her first operation and has gone to a caring temporary home. And IKSIU still waits. He is still in the shelter. When he arrived with us, he was withdrawn. He stood a little off to the side, observing, checking if he could trust. It has only been about 10 days, and he has beautifully opened up. He started playing with other dogs, seeking contact with humans, and enjoying their presence. He shares space with a few other dogs and really thrives in that. He has his likes and dislikes — like any dog — but he gets along very well with most. He is cheerful, energetic, friendly, but not pushy. For a young dog, he is quite refined and considerate. We are looking for a home that sees beyond just a handsome white dog and recognizes a young boy who had a tough start, needing wise guidance, movement, human presence, and a simple, good life. He will find his best home with active people who are willing to give him time, walks, rules, and a warm heart. IKSIU does not ask for pity. He simply deserves his chance. 🤍 📍 He resides in a fundational shelter in Wymysłowie.

Biały chłopak, który dopiero zaczyna wierzyć, że świat może być dobry 🤍 Iksiu ma około 1,5 roku. Jest średniej wielkości, cały biały, z delikatnie rudo nakrapianymi uszkami i naprawdę trudno przejść obok niego obojętnie. Trafił do nas interwencyjnie, z domu, w którym zamiast bezpieczeństwa był alkohol, używki, chaos i zaniedbanie. Razem z nim odebrana została także 15-letnia Bibi — starsza sunia z ogromnymi guzami na listwie mlecznej. Bibi jest już po pierwszej operacji i pojechała do troskliwego domu tymczasowego. A Iksiu nadal czeka. Nadal jest w azylu. Kiedy do nas trafił, był wycofany. Stał trochę z boku, obserwował, sprawdzał, czy może zaufać. Minęło zaledwie 10 dni, a on pięknie się otworzył. Zaczął bawić się z psami, szukać kontaktu z człowiekiem, cieszyć się obecnością ludzi. Dzieli przestrzeń z kilkoma psami i naprawdę dobrze się w tym odnajduje. Ma swoje sympatie i antypatie — jak każdy pies — ale z większością dogaduje się bardzo fajnie. Jest pogodny, żywiołowy, towarzyski, ale nie nachalny. Jak na młodego psa jest całkiem stonowany i uważny. Szukamy dla niego domu, który nie zobaczy w nim tylko ładnego białego psa, ale młodego chłopaka po trudnym starcie, który potrzebuje mądrego prowadzenia, ruchu, obecności człowieka i zwykłego, dobrego życia. Najlepiej odnajdzie się u osób aktywnych, gotowych dać mu czas, spacery, zasady i serce. Iksiu nie prosi o litość. On po prostu bardzo zasługuje na swoją szansę. 🤍 📍 Przebywa w azylu fundacyjnym w Wymysłowie. Kontakt telefoniczny: Kasia 508 377 087(najlepiej kontaktować się przez WhatsApp)

About IKSIU

What life with IKSIU looks like

IKSIU is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Gnieźnie in Gniezno.

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 IKSIU, answered.

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