Jordan

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Jordan came to us together with another puppy after the death of his owner. The dogs were kept in very poor conditions - in dirt and among garbage, without proper contact with people. During the rescue, they reacted strongly with fear. Jordan, terrified by the situation, showed fear aggression and tried to attack when someone approached him. Today Jordan is in a completely different place. He has made great progress - he goes for walks and is getting better at dealing with new situations. He still does not allow being touched. He responds to physical contact by withdrawing - he moves away and stiffens due to stress, but no longer shows aggression. For walks, he wears a half-check collar, as putting it on is less stressful for him. Jordan also has a charming side - he loves treats and knows exactly where to find them. After walks, he happily looks into the office, hoping for a reward, which he eats with great concentration, savoring each bite, making a characteristic smacking sound. Initially, he lived in a kennel with his dog companion, but when the second dog had to be separated for health reasons, Jordan was alone. Despite this change, he is coping better and better, although he still needs support and a sense of security. Jordan is looking for a calm, patient home that will show him that the presence of a person can be something good. He needs a caregiver who will give him time to build a relationship at his own pace, without pressure or expectations. This is a dog who has tremendous potential - with the right support, he has a chance to become a loyal, though certainly not immediately outgoing, companion.

Jordan trafił do nas razem z drugim pieskiem po śmierci swojego właściciela. Psy były przetrzymywane w bardzo złych warunkach – w brudzie i wśród śmieci, bez odpowiedniego kontaktu z ludźmi. Podczas zabezpieczenia reagowały silnym lękiem. Jordan, przerażony sytuacją, wykazywał agresję lękową i próbował atakować, gdy ktoś się do niego zbliżał. Dziś Jordan jest już w zupełnie innym miejscu. Zrobił ogromne postępy – wychodzi na spacery i coraz lepiej radzi sobie w nowych sytuacjach. Nadal jednak nie pozwala się dotykać. Na kontakt fizyczny reaguje wycofaniem – odsuwa się i sztywnieje ze stresu, ale nie przejawia już agresji. Na spacery wychodzi w obroży półzaciskowej, ponieważ jej założenie jest dla niego mniej stresujące. Jordan ma też swoją uroczą stronę – uwielbia smaczki i doskonale wie, gdzie ich szukać. Po spacerach chętnie zagląda do biura, licząc na nagrodę, którą zjada z ogromnym skupieniem, delektując się każdym kęsem, charakterystycznie przy tym mlaskając. Początkowo mieszkał w kojcu ze swoim psim towarzyszem, jednak gdy drugi pies musiał zostać odseparowany ze względów zdrowotnych, Jordan został sam. Mimo tej zmiany radzi sobie coraz lepiej, choć wciąż potrzebuje wsparcia i poczucia bezpieczeństwa. Jordan szuka spokojnego, cierpliwego domu, który pokaże mu, że obecność człowieka może być czymś dobrym. Potrzebuje opiekuna, który da mu czas na budowanie relacji we własnym tempie, bez presji i oczekiwań. To pies, który ma w sobie ogromny potencjał – przy odpowiednim wsparciu ma szansę stać się wiernym, choć na pewno nie od razu wylewnym, towarzyszem.

About Jordan

What life with Jordan looks like

Jordan is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Dłużyna Górna 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 Jordan, answered.

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