Pikachu

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

PIKACHU. Age around 8 years. Have you ever wondered how much a dog has to suffer to completely lose trust in humans? We sometimes think about it too. Pikachu came to us in a terrible state: bent to the ground, submissive in his interactions with people, presenting a submissive posture... and crying with pain at every less careful movement. Unnaturally arranged paws, "flattening" on the ground, panic fear at the sight of a leash in someone's hand, pain in the back - for us, these are symptoms that Pikachu was not just beaten, but that someone simply abused him. Fortunately, Pikachu has left that dark time behind. He quickly understood that in the shelter we don't want to hurt him. From that moment on, it went very quickly - now the dog likes to go for walks, gets on your lap, and even runs and jumps (mostly with toys on the runway)! Despite what he went through, Pikachu has not lost faith in people. He likes to meet new people, and he himself runs up to those he knows for a portion of affection. We are looking for a home for him with calm, patient, experienced caregivers who will provide him not only with a warm bed and a full bowl at all times, but above all, a lot of love and security, which this charming dog needs and fully deserves. Pikachu is registered under the number GW/131/8/22. He has valid vaccinations against rabies and infectious diseases, has a chip, and has been neutered. For those interested in adoption, please contact us by phone at 530-779-523 or 54 233-20-21.

PIKACHU. Wiek około 8 lat.. Zastanawialiście się kiedyś, ile musi wycierpieć pies, żeby całkowicie stracić zaufanie do człowieka? Też czasem się nad tym zastanawiamy. Pikachu trafił do nas w fatalnym stanie: przygięty do ziemi, w kontaktach z ludźmi uległy, prezentujący postawę poddańczą... i płaczący z bólu przy każdym mniej ostrożnym ruchu Nienaturalnie układające się łapki, "płaszczenie się" przy ziemi, paniczny strach na widok smyczy trzynanej w ręku, bolesność tylnej części ciała - dla nas to objawy świadczące o tym, że Pikachu nie był po prostu bity, ale że ktoś się nad nim zwyczajnie pastwił. Na szczęście Pikachu ma ten ponury czas za sobą. Bardzo szybko zrozumiał, że w schronisku nie chcemy zrobić mu krzywdy. Od tego momentu poszło bardzo szybko - teraz psiak chętnie chodzi na spacery, pakuje się na kolanka, a nawet biega i skacze (najchętniej z zabawkami na wybiegu)! Mimo tego, co przeszedł, Pikachu nie stracił wiary w ludzi. Lubi poznawać nowe osoby, a do tych znajomych sam podbiega po porcję czułości. Szukamy dla niego domu ze spokojnymi, cierpliwymi, doświadczonymi opiekunami, którzy zapewnią mu nie tylko ciepłe posłanie i zawsze pełną miseczkę, ale przede wszystkim ogrom miłości i bezpieczeństwa, którego ten uroczy psiak potrzebuje, i na które w pełni zasługuje. Pikachu zarejestrowany jest pod numerem GW/131/8/22. Posiada ważne szczepienia przeciwko wściekliźnie i chorobom zakaźnym, ma czip, został wykastrowany. Osoby zainteresowane adopcją prosimy o kontakt na numer telefonu 530-779-523 lub 54 233-20-21.

About Pikachu

What life with Pikachu looks like

Pikachu 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 Pikachu, answered.

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