MENTOS

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

MENTOS is a dog whose past we unfortunately do not know, but one thing we do know for sure - despite difficult experiences, he has not lost the desire to build relationships with people. At the animal shelter, he quickly opened up to our caregivers and every day shows how much he needs closeness, calmness, and a sense of security. He is a nice, sensitive dog who gets along well with other dogs. He also gets along quite well with cats, so it is possible that he will find himself in a home where there are already other animals. MENTOS will feel best in a quiet and understanding home. In contact with some men, he can be uncertain and needs more time to trust. We suspect that he may have had difficult experiences related to his past, so we are looking for caregivers who will respect his boundaries and allow him to build a relationship at his own pace. Due to his sensitivity, we are looking for a home without small children or with older, calm children who will be able to understand the dog's needs and act accordingly.

Czy wiesz, że ten pies znajduje się w Adopcji Wirtualnej? Dowiedz się jak możesz mu pomóc. Mentos to psiak, którego przeszłości niestety nie znamy, jednak jedno wiemy na pewno – mimo trudnych doświadczeń nie stracił chęci do budowania relacji z człowiekiem. W schronisku bardzo szybko otworzył się na naszych opiekunów i każdego dnia pokazuje, jak bardzo potrzebuje bliskości, spokoju i poczucia bezpieczeństwa. To sympatyczny, wrażliwy pies, który dobrze odnajduje się w towarzystwie innych psów. Z kotami również radzi sobie całkiem dobrze, dlatego możliwe, że odnajdzie się w domu, w którym są już inne zwierzęta. Mentos najlepiej poczuje się w spokojnym i wyrozumiałym domu. W kontakcie z niektórymi mężczyznami bywa niepewny i potrzebuje więcej czasu, aby zaufać. Podejrzewamy, że może mieć za sobą trudne doświadczenia związane z przeszłością, dlatego szukamy dla niego opiekunów, którzy uszanują jego granice i pozwolą mu budować relację we własnym tempie.

About MENTOS

What life with MENTOS looks like

MENTOS is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Świdnica in Poland.

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 MENTOS, answered.

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