Piękna

Mixed Breed · Female

Temperament: Piękna is a mini sheepdog with shorter legs, appearing larger in photos but is actually smaller in size. She is a bit stressed and has a great need for closeness. She is open to petting, enjoys tug-of-war games, and likes to chill and explore on the lawn and walks in the woods. Piękna bonds very quickly with her caregiver. Upon seeing a familiar person, she gets overly excited. We are currently working on desensitization, gradual exposure, and building her confidence. Walks with __BEAUTIFUL__ are a great joy. She may be a bit reactive at first, but after a while on the lawn or in the woods, she relaxes, gathers her scent information, and is happy to share it. When it comes to choosing a walk route, she can be flexible, but she usually only needs a clear indication of an interesting direction. On the play yard, she explores and patrols. She reluctantly watches dogs passing by the fence – she may sniff at them, but if she’s given an attractive alternative (e.g., a clicker game or gentle petting), she’ll give up on her territorial dramas. When encountering other dogs during walks, her reaction depends on the distance between them – the closer and more unexpected the encounter, the more intense the reaction. She can calmly pass a dog that is about 10 meters away, provided that dog is not approaching her. For __BEAUTIFUL__, we are looking for a home.

Usposobienie: Piękna to mini owczarek na krótszych nogach, na zdjęciach wygląda na większą, ale w rzeczywistości jest mniejszych rozmiarów. To trochę zestresowana pieska z dużą potrzebą bliskości. Otwarta na pieszczoty, lubi zabawę szarpakiem, chillout na łące i spacery po lesie. Piękna bardzo szybko przywiązuje się do opiekuna. Na widok znajomej osoby cieszy się, aż za bardzo. Aktualnie pracujemy nad wyciszeniem, stopniowym odwrażliwianiem i budowaniem jej pewności siebie. Spacery z Piękną to duża przyjemność. Może na początku jest trochę wyrywna, ale po chwili na łące lub w lesie wyluzowuje, zbiera sobie swoje węchowe informacje i chętnie się nimi dzieli. W kwestii wyboru trasy spaceru potrafi pójść na kompromis, ale najczęściej wystarczy jej jasne wskazanie ciekawego kierunku. Na wybiegu eksploruje i trochę patroluje. Niechętnie patrzy na psy przechodzące wzdłuż ogrodzenia – niektóre obszczekuje, ale jeśli zapewni jej się atrakcyjną alternatywę (np. zabawę z klikerem lub delikatne pieszczoty), to odpuści sobie terytorialne dramy. Na widok innych psów spotkanych w trakcie spaceru reaguje zależnie od dystansu, który je dzieli – im bliższe i bardziej niespodziewane spotkanie, tym bardziej gwałtowna reakcja. Potrafi spokojnie przejść obok psa oddalonego o około 10 m (pod warunkiem, że ten nie idzie z naprzeciwka). Dla Pięknej szukamy domu: – gotowego do pracy nad wyciszaniem jej skoków emocjonalnych – który zapewni jej spokój, który trudno jej osiągnąć w schronisku – który zechce stać się jej godnymi zaufania przewodnikami

About Piękna

What life with Piękna looks like

Piękna is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 Piękna, answered.

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