Adopt Megan

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Megan, a female dog born in June 2017, is a beautiful but exceptionally excitable and disobedient female dog. She is such an energy volcano that she can't sit still for even a moment. She is very active and can easily jump over even a two-meter fence. The female dog can walk nicely on a leash, but she has never shown any aggression towards people. Megan had already been in adoption once, where she jumped on furniture and kitchen appliances. In that case, even a visit to a behaviorist didn't help. She didn't listen to the new guardians at all, as she sensed she could "rule" them. Unfortunately, she also doesn't get along with other dogs and even attacks much larger dogs than herself. We also know that she doesn't enjoy grooming and quickly gets bored. Therefore, it's better to split her hair brushing into several days. Personally, we've never encountered such a character before, and that's why it will be very difficult to find her an appropriate home. Megan might only fit into a large kennel run where she would be the only dog. She also needs to be given some kind of occupation to prevent her from getting bored, preferably some toys, and regular contact with humans. Megan definitely needs patient, and most importantly, experienced guardians. We know very well that taking care of her is no small challenge and a very large responsibility to ensure her well-being. The female dog currently weighs 14.8 kg, and it's also important to be careful not to overfeed her, as she is a big glutton.

Megan, sunia urodzona w czerwcu 2017r. Megan to śliczna, ale wyjątkowo nadpobudliwa i nieusłuchana sunia. Jest z niej taki wulkan energii, który nie usiedzi nawet na chwilę w miejscu. Do tego jest bardzo skoczna i potrafi bez problemu przeskakiwać nawet dwumetrowe ogrodzenie. Sunia potrafi ładnie chodzić na smyczy, do natomiast ludzi nigdy nie przejawiała żadnej agresji. Megan była już raz w adopcji, gdzie skakała po meblach i wszelakim sprzęcie kuchennym. W tym przypadku nie pomogły nawet wizyty u behawiorysty. Nie słuchała się w ogóle nowych opiekunów, gdyż wyczuła że może nimi „rządzić”. Niestety również z innymi psami Megan się nie dogaduje, a nawet atakuje dużo większe od siebie psy. Wiemy też że nie przepada za zabiegami pielęgnacyjnymi i szybko ją to nudzi. Lepiej więc czesanie jej sierści rozdzielić sobie na kilka dni. Osobiście jeszcze się nie spotkaliśmy z taką charakterną sunią i z tego powodu bardzo ciężko będzie jej znaleźć odpowiedni dom. Megan mogłaby chyba tylko trafić do dużego kojca, gdzie byłaby jedynym psem. Musi też mieć zapewnione jakieś zajęcie żeby się jej nie nudziło, najlepiej jakieś zabawki, a do tego częsty kontakt z człowiekiem. Megan na pewno potrzebuje cierpliwych, a przede wszystkim doświadczonych opiekunów. Sami doskonale wiemy, że opieka nad nią to nie lada wyzwanie i bardzo duża odpowiedzialność żeby ją upilnować. Sunia obecnie waży 14,8 kg i trzeba też uważać żeby jej nie przekarmić, gdyż jest sporym łakomczuchem. Jeśli ktoś chciałby się podjąć opieki nad tą temperamentną sunią to oczywiście zapraszamy do kontaktu. Z góry prosimy o bardzo dobrze przemyślane decyzje. Megan jest odrobaczona, zaszczepiona, odpchlona, zaczipowana, wysterylizowana.

About Megan

What life with Megan looks like

Megan is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) in Poland.

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 Megan, answered.

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