Malcolm

Male · Adult · 6 years

Malcolm is a dog who, as soon as he spots a person, starts wagging his tail at an astonishing pace and never stops for a moment. He loves everyone—every single person who walks by is greeted as if Malcolm had known them for ages. On the play area, after thoroughly sniffing everything around, he demands to be petted, placing his paw on your hand as soon as you pause or shoving his little nose into your hand just to get noticed. Taking him for walks is pure joy. He strolls along on a loose leash, sniffing away the entire time. He adores treats—and will even do “sit” and “shake paws” just for them! He loves toys—perhaps a bit too much, because if you try to take a toy away from him, you’ll have to offer him a treat in exchange. He gets along effortlessly with other dogs on walks, but when another dog barks at him, he tenses up and barks right back. It’s best if he’s an only dog, given his uncertainty around other dogs and his obsession with toys. Malcolm is looking for someone who will love him with all their heart—a companion who, even on the gloomiest day, will lift your spirits with his tail-wagging antics and happily jump onto your lap at every opportunity.

PL·Show original

Malcolm to psiak, który gdy tylko zobaczy człowieka zaczyna macha ogonem w zadziwiającym tempie i nie przestaje ani na chwilę. Uwielbia on wszystkich ludzi. Każdy kto przejdzie obok zostanie przywitany tak jakby Malcolm już go znał wieki. Na wybiegu, gdy wszystko obwącha domaga się głaskania, kładąc łapę na dłoń gdy tylko się przestanie lub wciskając swój pyszczek byle być zauważonym. Spacery z nim to czysta przyjemność. Idzie na luźnej smyczy cały spacer, węsząc. Uwielbia smaczki, za które potrafi zrobić „siad” i „podaj łapę”. Kocha zabawki – aż za bardzo, ponieważ żeby zabrać mu zabawkę trzeba dać mu na zamianę smaczka. Psy na spacerze mija bezproblemowo, ale gdy inny pies na niego szczeka on się spina i odpowiada tym samym. Lepiej żeby był jedynakiem ze względu na jego niepewność w kontaktach z innymi psami i obsesje na punkcie zabawek. Malcolm szuka człowieka, który pokocha go całym sercem, a uzyska psa, który nawet w najgorszy dzień poprawi humor machając swoim ogonem i gramoląc się na kolana przy każdej okazji.

About Malcolm

What life with Malcolm looks like

Malcolm is a medium-sized adult 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. 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 Malcolm, answered.

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