Johny

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Johny was found in a rural area near Warsaw, under a shop. He’d been wandering for a long time—sometimes he’d get a sausage, other times a kick. It was immediately clear that he wasn’t coping on his own. He was emaciated and kept bumping into objects. Johny is blind. He was diagnosed with complete retinal degeneration. Fortunately, despite this, he manages well in familiar surroundings and during walks on a leash. Johny is a young dog, about 2 years old. He gets along well with other dogs. He accepts the cat that occasionally visits his yard. At home, he’s trouble-free—he stays quietly alone and keeps everything clean. He enjoys car rides. He knows how to walk nicely on a leash. He’s currently staying in a foster home in a quiet neighborhood, so we’re not sure how he’d fare in a busy city environment. He’s a shy little dog, but very loving. He fully trusts his foster caregivers; he lets them pick him up, and at night he climbs onto their bed. Despite his disability, Johny is excellent at jumping over fences, so if he’s going to live in a house with a garden, he can only be outside when accompanied by a human. The dog is vaccinated, dewormed, flea-treated, microchipped, and neutered. We’re looking for a home for him without children, preferably in a quieter neighborhood, ideally with another dog who could provide him with companionship. He’s staying in a foster home near Piaseczno, just outside Warsaw.

Johny został znaleziony na wsi pod Warszawą pod sklepem. Błąkał się długo, raz dostał kiełbasę, raz kopniaka. Od razu było jasne, że sobie nie radzi. Był wychudzony, dodatkowo obijał się o przedmioty. Johny nie widzi. Został zdiagnozowany, ma całkowitą degenerację siatkówki. Na szczęście mimo tego dobrze sobie radzi w znanym terenie oraz na spacerach na smyczy. Johny jest psem młodym, ma około 2 lata. Dobrze dogaduje się z innymi psami. Akceptuje kota, który czasem odwiedza jego podwórko. W domu jest bezproblemowy, grzecznie zostaje sam i zachowuje czystość. Lubi podróże samochodem. Umie spacerować na smyczy. Przebywa w domu tymczasowym w spokojnej okolicy, więc nie wiemy jak odnalazłby się w mieście. Jest nieśmiałym psiakiem, ale bardzo kochanym. Opiekunom tymczasowym ufa w pełni, pozwala się podnosić na ręce, a w nocy wskakuje na łóżko. Johny, mimo niepełnosprawności, świetnie radzi sobie z pokonywaniem ogrodzeń, dlatego w przypadku domu z ogrodem może być na zewnątrz tylko w obecności człowieka. Psiak jest zaszczepiony, odrobaczony, odpchlony, zaczipowany i wykastrowany. Szukamy dla niego domu bez dzieci, w raczej spokojnej okolicy, chętnie z innym psem który będzie dla niego wsparciem. Przebywa w domu tymczasowym w okolicach Piaseczna pod Warszawą. płeć: samiecur. 2021wielkość: średni (13 kg)kastracja: tak 603 762 594,512 237 880 Chcemy znaleźć dom najlepszy z możliwych, dlatego zainteresowanych będziemy prosili o wypełnienie ankiety adopcyjnej: kundellos. pl/ankieta-adopcyjna

About Johny

What life with Johny looks like

Johny is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Józefowie in Józefów.

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 Johny, answered.

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