Lui

Mixed Breed · Male

Temperament: Lui is a stocky TTB type dog who came to our animal shelter following an intervention by his former caregiver. He was not properly cared for - Lui lived in a basement without access to the outside world, and his basic needs were not met. The beginning of Luis's stay at the animal shelter was not easy. Lui showed a lack of emotional control and high arousal. However, the work of the behaviorists, plus the implemented pharmacology caused Lui to now present as a stable dog seeking human contact. He is not a cuddler, but he likes to come to a person on the floor. Walks with Luis are pleasant, although the dog is very strong and sometimes runs ahead like a small tank. He has a strong hunting instinct towards both forest animals and cats. Lui loves balls that he can carry in his mouth and stuffed toys that he can rip apart. He is clever and learns new commands and behaviors quickly. He knows: sit, stay, leave it. He is trained to wear a muzzle and does so without problems. From our observations, Lui tolerates dogs - both female and males. It seems that he could live in a home with a stable adult dog, provided there is proper introduction and socialization. For Luis, we are looking for a home: - experienced in owning and working with a TTB type dog will be an added advantage - with calm, yet consistent people in handling the dog - without young children - people willing to cover financial expenses related, among others, to a horse tail team and control of skin problems related to food allergies.

Usposobienie: Lui to masywnie zbudowany pies w typie TTB, który trafił do naszego schroniska w wyniku interwencji u jego byłego opiekuna. Nie potrafił się nim prawidłowo zająć – Lui mieszkał w piwnicy bez dostępu do świata, a jego podstawowe potrzeby nie były zapewnione. Początki Luiego w schronisku nie należały do łatwych. Lui cechował się brakiem kontroli nad emocjami i ogromnym pobudzeniem. Jednak praca behawiorystek, plus wdrożona farmakologia spowodowały, iż Lui przedstawia się dziś jako pies stabilny i szukający kontaktu z człowiekiem Nie jest typem pieszczocha, ale lubi przyjść do człowieka na drapanko dupki. Spacery z Luim są przyjemne, natomiast pies jest bardzo silny i zdarza się, że prze do przodu jak mały czołg. Ma silny instynkt łowiecki zarówno na leśną zwierzynę jak i koty. Lui uwielbia piłki, które może nosić w pysku oraz pluszaki, które może rozszarpywać. Jest mądralą i szybko się uczy nowych komend i zachowań. Potrafi: siad, waruj, zostaw. Jest nauczony zakładania kagańca i nosi go bez problemu. Z naszych obserwacji wynika, że Lui toleruje psy – zarówno suczki jak i samców. Wydaje się, że mógłby mieszkać w domu ze stabilnym dorosłym psem przy odpowiednim zapoznaniu i wprowadzeniu. Dla Luiego szukamy domu: – doświadczonego w posiadaniu i pracy z psem w typie TTB będzie dodatkowym plusem – z osobami spokojnymi, lecz konsekwentnymi w prowadzeniu psa – bez małych dzieci – osobami gotowymi na wydatki finansowe związane m.in. z zespołem końskiego ogona i kontrolą problemów skórnych związanych z alergiami pokarmowymi. – z opiekunami gotowymi podjąć współpracę z behawiorystą, trenerem

About Lui

What life with Lui looks like

Lui is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Lui, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lui?
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 Lui on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lui 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 Lui 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 Lui 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 Lui 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.
