Merino

Mixed Breed · Male

Four-year-old dog who has just won his most important battle for mobility. He came under our care from animal shelter "Kocham Psisko" with an old, complicated elbow fracture. He underwent two operations and intensive rehabilitation, and today we have an official confirmation from the orthopedist: Merino is healthy and ready for adoption! He is a very positive and calm dog. He is very devoted to his caregiver and behaves perfectly on walks - he does not react to street movement, and he passes other dogs with complete indifference. He can even perform the command "sit"! He approaches new people with a slight, natural stress, but quickly recovers and shows his gentle nature. It's worth mentioning that Merino is a big food lover, which comes with one challenge: he shows possessiveness over food. When he has something delicious in his mouth, he can guard it, so we are looking for a caregiver who will calmly work with him on this behavior (e.g., through training on exchange). Apart from that, he is a "plus" dog - well-behaved at the vet, patient during grooming, and very comfortable in home conditions. If you are looking for a loyal friend who, despite a difficult start, has kept his joy of life, Merino is waiting for you! — METRYCZKA — 🧮 Age: 02/2022 🚻 Gender: male 🐾 Weight: 10.40 kg 🏀 Activity: medium ❤️ neutering: yes ℹ️ Chip: yes 💉 Vaccinations: yes 📍 Location:

Czteroletni pies, który właśnie wygrał swoją najważniejszą walkę o sprawność. Trafił pod naszą opiekę ze schroniska „Kocham Psisko” ze starym, skomplikowanym złamaniem łokcia. Przeszedł dwie operacje i intensywną rehabilitację, a dziś mamy oficjalne potwierdzenie od ortopedy: Merino jest zdrowy i gotowy do adopcji! Charakterologicznie to mega pozytywny i spokojny piesek. Wobec swojego opiekuna jest bardzo oddany, a na spacerach zachowuje się wzorowo – nie reaguje na ruch uliczny, a inne psy mija z całkowitą „olewką”. Potrafi nawet wykonać komendę „siad”! Do nowych osób podchodzi z lekkim, naturalnym stresem, ale szybko się przełamuje i pokazuje swoją łagodną naturę. Warto wspomnieć, że Merino to wielki łasuch, co wiąże się z jednym wyzwaniem: wykazuje zasobowość o jedzenie. Gdy ma coś pysznego pod paszczą, potrafi tego pilnować, dlatego szukamy opiekuna, który ze spokojem popracuje z nim nad tym zachowaniem (np. poprzez naukę wymiany). Poza tym to pies „na plus” – grzeczny u weterynarza, cierpliwy przy pielęgnacji i bardzo dobrze odnajdujący się w domowych warunkach. Jeśli szukasz wiernego przyjaciela, który mimo trudnego startu zachował radość życia, Merino czeka właśnie na Ciebie! — METRYCZKA — 🧮 Wiek: 02/2022 r. 🚻 Płeć: samiec 🐾 Wielkość: 10,40 kg 🏀 Aktywność: średnia ❤️ Kastracja: tak ℹ️ Czip: tak 💉 Szczepienia: tak 📍 Miejsce pobytu: Azyl pod Płońskiem KONTAKT W SPRAWIE ADOPCJI 730-116-503 Telefon odbierany jest od poniedziałku do piątku w godzinach 10-19, w weekendy w godzinach 12-16.

About Merino

What life with Merino looks like

Merino is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu in Poland.

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 Merino, answered.

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