LAKI

Male · Senior · 10 years

LAKI on 22/03/26 is approximately 10 years old and was suddenly without a home after years of living with a caregiver. The reason for surrendering him was reportedly aggression, but at the animal shelter, he revealed a completely different side as an intelligent, energetic, and friendly dog who simply needs understanding and a sense of security. LAKI has a lot of independence, but he also loves people and eagerly forms relationships. This is a dog who loves movement and long walks, which bring him immense joy. He is very smart and learns quickly. He responds to his name, and his favorite word is definitely "masz" (Polish for "you have"). He also loves car rides, so he would fit well with an active person who enjoys shared outings and walks. This is a dog with character and history, but also with great potential as a loyal companion. He needs a calm home, a patient person, and a chance to trust someone again.

P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } Laki p 22/03/26 to około 10-letni pies, który po latach życia u boku opiekuna nagle stracił dom. Powodem zrzeczenia miała być rzekoma agresja, jednak w schronisku dał się poznać z zupełnie innej strony jako inteligentny, energiczny i kontaktowy psiak, który po prostu potrzebuje zrozumienia i poczucia bezpieczeństwa Laki ma w sobie sporo niezależności, ale jednocześnie lubi ludzi i chętnie nawiązuje relację. To pies, który kocha ruch długie spacery i wędrówki sprawiają mu ogromną radość. Jest bardzo bystry i szybko się uczy. Reaguje na swoje imię, a jego ulubione słowo to zdecydowanie „masz”. Uwielbia również jazdę samochodem, więc świetnie odnajdzie się u boku osoby aktywnej, która lubi wspólne wyjazdy i spacery. To pies z charakterem i historią, ale także z ogromnym potencjałem na wiernego towarzysza. Potrzebuje spokojnego domu, cierpliwego człowieka i szansy, by jeszcze raz komuś zaufać.

About LAKI

What life with LAKI looks like

LAKI is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Schronisko Kraków in Kraków.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting LAKI, answered.

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