Olaf

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Olaf is a 5-year-old Akita-type dog who came to our shelter as a found animal. Unfortunately, his health was in a bad state. Olaf certainly felt a lot of discomfort for a long time - his skin was in very bad condition and needed immediate help. He immediately came under the care of our veterinary doctors. Currently, treatment is ongoing, but he still has a long way to full recovery. Olaf is very stressed by the shelter reality. Despite his illness, he is already showing his character and it's clear that he has many typical Akita traits.

Olaf to 5-letni pies w typie akity, który trafił do naszego schroniska jako znaleziony. Niestety jego stan zdrowia pozostawiał wiele do życzenia. Olaf z pewnością przez dłuższy czas odczuwał ogromny dyskomfort – jego skóra była w bardzo złym stanie i wymagała natychmiastowej pomocy. Od razu trafił pod opiekę naszych lekarzy weterynarii. Obecnie trwa leczenie, jednak przed nim jeszcze długa droga do pełnego powrotu do zdrowia. Olaf jest mocno zestresowany schroniskową rzeczywistością. Mimo choroby daje nam już poznać swój charakter i nie da się ukryć, że ma w sobie wiele cech typowych dla akity.

About Olaf

What life with Olaf looks like

Olaf is a 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.

🇵🇱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 Olaf, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olaf?
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 Olaf on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Olaf 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 Olaf 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 Olaf 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 Olaf 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.
