Oscar

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Oscar is a small, approximately 7-year-old tri-colored dog with a sad past. We don't know the whole story, but we do know he was treated like a worthless object - abandoned and tied up in a scary place. No wonder a leash reminds him of the worst, and Oscar initially didn't want to be leashed... Fortunately, he understood that no one in our shelter wants anything bad for him. Currently, walks are his favorite part of the day. It's time when he can explore, play, be with people he trusts, and other dogs (because Oscar has really taken a liking to a female dog named Lili). Oscar isn't a dog that loves every person blindly. His past has left its mark and made him a bit fearful. He also needs time to trust new people. But once he trusts, he changes into a sweet four-legged dog who demands pats. This is a dog that needs calm, patient owners. Best suited for people with experience working with fearful dogs, he will open up at his own pace. Is anyone dreaming of giving Oscar a place in their home and heart? Given Oscar's fearfulness and his dislike of being touched around his neck, we don't recommend him for homes with young children. Oscar is registered under number 13107/73/25. He has been vaccinated against rabies and infectious diseases and is microchipped. He has undergone a neutering procedure. For adoption inquiries, please contact us at 530-779-523 or 54 233-20-21.

OSCAR. Oscarek to niewielki około 7-letni, trójkolorowy piesek o smutnej przeszłości. Co prawda nie znamy jej całej, ale wiemy, że został potraktowany jak zbędny przedmiot - porzucony, uwiązany w obcym, przerażającym miejscu. Nic dziwnego, że smycz kojarzyła mu się z najgorszym i Oscar początkowo nie chciał być upinany... Na szczęście zrozumiał, że nikt w naszym schronisku nie chce dla niego źle. Aktualnie spacery to jego ulubiona część dnia. To czas, kiedy może pozwiedzać, pobawić się, przebywać z ludźmi, którym ufa oraz z innymi czworonogami (bo Oscarek bardzo polubił się z psią koleżanką o imieniu Lili). Oscar nie jest psem, który bezgranicznie kocha każdą osobę. Przeszłość odcisnęło na nim swój ślad i pozostawiła nieco lękliwym. Potrzebuje też chwili, aby zaufać nowym ludziom. Ale kiedy już zaufa, zmienia się w uroczego czterołapka, który sam domaga się pieszczot. To psiak, który potrzebuje spokojnych, cierpliwych opiekunów. Najlepiej osób, które mają doświadczenie w pracy z lękliwymi psami, na których będzie mógł otworzyć się w swoim własnym tempie. Czy ktoś już marzy, aby podarować Oscarowi miejsce w swoim domu i sercu? Z uwagi na lękliwość Oscara i jego niechęć przed dotykiem w okolicach szyi, nie polecamy go do domu, w którym mieszkają małe dzieci. Oscar zarejestrowany jest pod numerem 13107/73/25. Został zaszczepiony przeciwko wściekliźnie i chorobom zakaźnym oraz zaczipowany. Przeszedł zabieg kastracji.. Osoby zainteresowane adopcją prosimy o kontakt na numer telefonu 530-779-523 lub 54 233-20-21

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla zwierząt Włocławek 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 Oscar, answered.

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