Loco

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Disposition: Loco is a young, comforting, and playful dog. He is a mix, but he likely has a lot of sheepdog in him, as his demeanor and the way he looks at people indicates. He’s essentially still a kid who, in shelter conditions, doesn’t know how to deal with an excess of emotions. The beginnings of walks are chaotic, but as soon as he gets away from barking dogs and runs off in the yard, his emotions settle, and he shows how wonderful he is as a dog. He has a huge motivation for food. He knows how to sit, lie down, and give a paw. He learns new things quickly too. He loves all sorts of toys—especially those he finds and steals. He tosses his favorite toys and eagerly plays with them, and he enjoys tugging with people. He finds his way around rooms very well—he’s very cuddly in them. He rubs against legs, lifts his hind end for scratching, or stands on two legs and leans against a person’s knees, asking for affection. From a distance, upon seeing a dog, he usually barks or whines out of interest. This is something to work on. In direct contact, he is very positively disposed, though he can be a bit forward (as a young dog often is). However, if a future caregiver provides him with enough social interaction, there shouldn’t be any problems in the future. For Loco, we are looking for an active home that will provide him with enough movement and mental work (training, scent games).

Usposobienie: Loco to młody, pocieszny i proludzki psiak. Jest mieszancem, ale najprawdopodobniej ma w sobie sporo z owczarka, co widać po tym jak pojętnym i wpatrzonym w człowieka jest psem. To w zasadzie jeszcze dzieciak, który w warunkach schroniskowych nie ma jak poradzić sobie z nadmiarem emocji. Początki spacerów są chaotyczne, ale gdy tylko oddali się od szczekających psów i wyszaleje się na wybiegu to jego emocje opadają i pokazuje jak cudownym jest psem. Ma ogromną motywacje na jedzenie. Umie siad, leżeć i podaj łapę. Szybko też uczy się nowych rzeczy. Uwielbia najróżniejsze zabawki – zwłaszcza takie znalezione i kradzione. Przytulanki sam sobie podrzuca i później łapie, a szarpakiem chętnie pobawi się z człowiekiem. Dobrze odnajduje się w pomieszczeniach – jest w nich bardzo milusiński. Ociera się o nogi, nadstawia zadek do drapania lub staje na dwóch łapach i opiera się o kolana człowieka, domagając się pieszczot. Z daleka na widok psa najczęściej popiskuje/szczeka lub ciągnie zainteresowany. Jest to rzecz do wypracowania. W bezpośrednim kontakcie jest bardzo pozytywnie nastawiony, co prawda może być nieco nachalny (jak to młody pies), ale jeśli przyszły opiekun zapewni mu odpowiednią ilość kontaktów społecznych to w przyszłości nie powinno być z tym problemów. Dla Loco szukamy domu: – aktywnego, który zapewni mu wystarczająco ruchu jak i pracy umysłowej (treningi, zabawy węchowe) – cierpliwego, gotowego do pracy nad spokojnym mijaniem innych psów – potencjalnie z innym psem – potencjalnie z dziećmi, ale lepiej starszymi ze względu na jego gabaryty i żywiołowość – który da mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa i po prostu obecność człowieka, której mu tak potrzeba

About Loco

What life with Loco looks like

Loco is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

An young 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 Loco, answered.

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