How do I contact the shelter about Joseph?

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

Can I adopt Joseph if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Krotoszyn 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 Joseph 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 Joseph 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 Krotoszyn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joseph 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.

Joseph

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

Adopted virtually by: Grzegorz Wiśniewski :) Barbara :) Since May 7th, our grandfather Joseph has been with us, found in a field, exhausted, with wounds on his body. Fortunately, someone noticed him and informed us. Since then, a lot has changed in Joseph's life. He is staying in our temporary home, and we have an irresistible feeling that for the first time in his life he feels safe and has learned what a real home is... The dog is wonderful, grateful for every moment with a human. Sometimes he can act like a little puppy, but you can see that age and previous life have left their mark on him. Joseph gets along with dogs, cats, and generally accepts everything around him. We don't know how old he is, but he's definitely quite old, yet he still has a lot of will to live, as if he wants to take advantage of what has happened to him - the love of a human! A bit naive, but we are looking for a permanent home... Contact, TOZ Krotoszyn - 660662191, 660662171 (we do not answer SMS, we prefer phone contact, Monday to Friday, during hours).

Wirtualnie zaadoptowany przez: Grzegorz Wiśniewski :) Barbara :) Od 7 maja jest z nami dziadeczek Joseph, znaleziony w polu, wycieńczony, z ranami na ciele. Całe szczęście ktoś go dostrzegł i nas powiadomił. Od tego czasu wiele się zmieniło w życiu Josepha. Przebywa w naszym domu tymczasowym i mamy nieodparte wrażenie, że pierwszy raz w życiu poczuł się bezpiecznie i poznał co to prawdziwy dom ... Pies jest cudowny, wdzięczny za każdą chwilę z człowiekiem. Czasem potrafi brykać jak mały szczeniak, ale widać, że wiek i dotychczasowe życie odcisnęło na nim swoje piętno. Joseph zgadza się z psami, kotami, ogólnie akceptuje wszystko dookoła. Nie wiemy ile ma lat, na pewno sporo, ale też sporo chęci do życia, jakby chciał wykorzystać, to co mu się przytrafiło - miłość człowieka! Trochę z naiwnością, ale szukamy domu stałego...

About Joseph

What life with Joseph looks like

Joseph is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Krotoszyn in Krotoszyn.

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.
