Pigi

Female · Senior · 14 years

Karma: Brit Care Lamb (dry food). Health status: She is on medication for thyroid issues, hip dysplasia, and spondylosis, and receives joint injections. Currently, she is in a foster home. Pigi is calm, well-behaved, and enjoys human company. She lives with a cat with whom she gets along without any conflicts, although she doesn't show much interest in him. On walks, she can be reactive toward other dogs, so a home without other dogs or an owner with experience handling such behaviors would be ideal. Occasionally, she pulls on the leash when excited. She is friendly toward people, happily approaches them, sniffs them, and greets them warmly.

Karma: Brit Care Lamb (sucha) Stan zdrowia: ma podawane leki na tarczyce, dysplazja stawów biodrowych, spondyloza, otrzymuje zastrzyki na stawyObecnie przebywa w domu tymczasowym. Pigi jest spokojna, grzeczna i lubi kontakt z człowiekiem. Mieszka z kotem, z którym funkcjonuje bez konfliktów, choć nie wykazuje nim większego zainteresowania. Na spacerach bywa reaktywna wobec innych psów, dlatego wskazany jest dom bez innych psów lub opiekun mający doświadczenie w pracy z takimi zachowaniami. Zdarza się, że z ekscytacji ciągnie na smyczy. W stosunku do ludzi jest przyjazna, chętnie podchodzi, obwąchuje i się wita.

About Pigi

What life with Pigi looks like

Pigi is a large senior dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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 Pigi, answered.

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