Meri

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Meri is about 9 years old, is a German Shepherd. As befits a German Shepherd, she is very smart and learns quickly. She knows basic commands. However, she requires work on dealing with emotions, she simply doesn't like when nothing is happening. If someone has worked with a German Shepherd before, they will certainly be able to handle this. Meri does not tolerate farm animals. We also do not recommend her for families with small children, she is a large and very energetic dog and could accidentally harm a child.

PL·Show original

Meri ma około 9 lat, jest w typie owczarka niemieckiego. Jak przystało na owczarka jest bardzo mądra i szybko się uczy. Zna podstawowe komendy. Wymaga jednak pracy nad radzaniem sobie z emocjami, ona po prostu nie lubi jak się nic nie dzieje. Jeśli ktoś już kiedyś pracował z owczarkiem, to z pewnością sobie z tym poradzi. Meri nie toleruje zwierząt gospodarskich. Nie polecamy jej również rodzinom z małymi dziećmi, jest sporym i bardzo energicznym psem i niechcący może wyrządzić dziecku krzywdę.

About Meri

What life with Meri looks like

Meri is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja SOS dla Zwierząt 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 Meri, answered.

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