Muminek

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

When he arrived at the animal shelter, he was very scared, had curled, twisted back legs, and practically couldn't walk. This was mainly due to congenital issues but also a huge fear. Currently, Muminek has already had several operations. Unfortunately, one back leg is still not working. However, during short walks, which we take from the animal shelter in a cart, Muminek handles well. He trots, sniffs, sits, lies down, and shows his belly for petting. He politely allows himself to be put into and taken out of the cart. Unless he doesn't want to go back, then he lies on his back. Muminek can walk reasonably well on a leash, and with his people, he walks without a leash. He feels good in a quiet place, away from busy streets and cars – he doesn't know the city and may be afraid of loud sudden noises.

Gdy trafił do Schroniska był bardzo zlękniony, miał podkurczone, krzywe tylne łapki i praktycznie nie chodził. Było to spowodowane głównie kalectwem ale i ogromnym lękiem. Obecnie Muminek jest już po kilku operacjach. Niestety jedna tylna łapka nie jest sprawna. Jednak na krótkich spacerach, na które wyjeżdżamy ze schroniska wózkiem Muminek radzi sobie dobrze. Drepcze, wącha, siedzi, leży, nadstawia brzucha do głaskania. Grzecznie pozwala się wsadzać i wysadzać z wózka. No chyba, że jeszcze nie chce wracać to wtedy kładzie się na plecach. Muminek średnio umie chodzić na smyczy, ze swoimi ludźmi chodzi bez smyczy. Dobrze czuje się w spokojnym miejscu, z dala od ruchliwych ulic, samochodów – nie zna miasta i może bać się głośnych nagłych hałasów.

About Muminek

What life with Muminek looks like

Muminek is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Wrocław in Wrocław.

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.

Note from the shelter: Disabled hind leg after multiple surgeries, requires wheelchair for longer walks, needs quiet environment away from traffic and loud noises

🇵🇱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 Muminek, answered.

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