Adopt Krakus

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy

This young bear cub was born in 2023, so he is only one and a half years old. He is a medium-sized ball of huge love and wholeheartedly loves the person he knows and trusts. He enjoys touch, play, and walks together. However, he will require training in manners because his uncontrolled desire for contact is expressed by jumping on people and demanding their attention. He is castrated, vaccinated, and inoculated - he can go out into the world! He has been in the shelter since spring 2025. Volunteer Martyna writes: he is a shy dog, withdrawn from strangers and very afraid of them - he reacts with barking and can even snap his jaws, which scares potential adopters away. In situations of contact with strangers, Krakus needs the closeness of the person he trusts and may find support with him. He needs training in behavior and good manners, as he is a very unmanageable fluffy bear. For people he knows, he is an ideal dog who craves close contact and touch and allows all treatments and caresses. On a walk in the forest, in an unfamiliar terrain, he feels very uncertain - he stays close to the person and seeks support and guidance from him. His fears also showed during the frosts, when the noise made by the heating vents operating in the building terrified him. In the box, he is rather dominant, a glutton who can eat food faster than weaker companions. (March 2026)

Ten młody misio urodził się w 2023, ma więc zaledwie półtora roku. Jest średniej wielkości kulką ogromnej miłości i całym sobą kocha człowieka, którego zna i darzy zaufaniem. Wtedy uwielbia dotyk, zabawy i wspólne spacery. Będzie jednak wymagać nauki ogłady, bo jego nieokiełznane pragnienie kontaktu przejawia się w skakaniu na człowieka i dopominaniu się o jego uwagę. Jest wykastrowany, zachipowany, zaszczepiony – może wyruszać w świat! W schronisku przebywa od wiosny 2025. Wolontariuszka Martyna pisze: to pies lękowy, wycofany w stosunku do obcych ludzi i bardzo się ich boi – reaguje szczekaniem i potrafi nawet kłapnąć zębami, co odstrasza osoby potencjalnie zainteresowane adopcją. W sytuacjach kontaktu z obcymi, Krakus bardzo potrzebuje bliskości osoby, którą darzy zaufaniem i może znaleźć u niej wsparcie. Potrzebuje on nauki zachowania i dobrych manier, bo jest bardzo nieokiełznanym puchatym misiem. Dla osób, które zna, jest natomiast psem idealnym, który łaknie bliskiego kontaktu i dotyku i pozwala na wszelkie zabiegi i pieszczoty. Na spacerze w lesie, w obcym nieznanym terenie czuje się bardzo niepewnie – trzyma się wtedy blisko człowieka i szuka w nim oparcia i wskazania drogi. Jego lęki ujawniły się także podczas mrozów, kiedy przerażał go szum, wydawany przez dysze ogrzewania, działającego w budynku. W boksie jest raczej dominujący, to obżartuch, który potrafi wyjadać jedzenie słabszym kolegom i koleżankom. (marzec 2026)

About Krakus

What life with Krakus looks like

Krakus is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku in Poland.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱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 Krakus, answered.

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