MONTI

Male · Adult · 5 years

DOG MONTI OK. 5 YEARS 616093902903587 (344/24) SIZE: LARGE WEIGHT: 42 KG. VACCINATIONS: YES CAGE: 9 Monti arrived at the animal shelter on September 21, 2024. He was brought in from Gałczyńskiego Street. Monti is a dog from the Joker household. He has a difficult, not entirely predictable temperament. He has had a tough life, and he has been cared for by people on the margins. In 2021, he was shot in his paw during an intervention, and amputation was considered. It is said that he was also on a chain for two years in the mountains. He tests people, checking their weakness. He needs a strong, stable, and experienced leader. He is very loyal at times but can also defend a person. He is territorial. He is quite greedy, though a person is more important than food. He loves walks, running, and sniffing. He walks well on a leash but can sometimes pull with great force. He likes water. Grooming him is not a problem. He does not like other dogs and is generally aggressive towards them.

PIES MONTI OK. 5 LAT 616093902903587 (344/24) WIELKOŚĆ: DUŻY WAGA WEJŚCIOWA: 42 KG. SZCZEPIENIA: TAK BOKS: 9 Do schroniska trafił 21.09.2024 roku. Został przywieziony z ul. Gałczyńskiego. Monti z domu Dżoker. Pies o trudnym, nie do końca przewidywalnym charakterze. Ma za sobą niełatwe życie, opiekowali się nim ludzie z marginesu. W 2021 roku został podczas interwencji postrzelony w łapę i groziła mu jej amputacja. Podobno był też 2 lata na łańcuchu w górach. Bada człowieka, sprawdza jego słabość. Potrzebuje silnego, stablinego i doświadczonego przewodnika. Jest bardzo wówczas lojalny, niestety też potrafi wówczas człowieka bronić. Terytorialny. Dość łakomy, choć człowiek jest ważniejszy niż jedzenie. Bardzo lubi spacery, biegać, uwielbia węszyć. Nieżle chodzi na smyczy ale potrafi czasem pociągnąc – a siłę ma. Lubi wodę. Czesanie go jest bez problemowe. Nie lubi innych psów, jest w stosunku do nich na ogół agresywny.

About MONTI

What life with MONTI looks like

MONTI is a large adult dog waiting at Schronisko Promyk Gdańsk in Gdansk.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 MONTI, answered.

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