Pixi

Mixed Breed · Male

Due to the ongoing proceedings, we are looking for a temporary home for him. Temperament: Pixi is a very young terrier-type dog. In the first contact with a person, he is shy, but he quickly gains trust in people. This is a dog that was taken in as a result of an intervention. When he arrived at the shelter, he was afraid of people and couldn't walk on a leash, but what's surprising is that he quickly learned. He now nicely allows the leash to be put on, walks on a loose leash close to the person, and sometimes seeks interaction with the person. He comes nicely when called, and when the pocket is opened, he leans against the leg demanding treats. When he trusts a person, he climbs onto their knees to be as close as possible. The traffic still stresses him, but day by day Pixi is making great progress. As a terrier, Pixi loves sniffing every bush he encounters, and on his familiar territory, he runs and plays like a young dog should, but he always finds time to come to the person for treats or a scratch. What's also surprising is that Pixi had no problem entering rooms from the beginning. He is relaxed in them, explores and sniffs, and once finished, he comes to the person for the sofa or knees. He currently lives in a kennel with his brother Dixim, with whom he gets along very well. He would find himself in a home with another dog.

Ze względu na prowadzone postępowanie, szukamy dla niego domu tymczasowego z pierwszeństwem do adopcji. Usposobienie: Pixi to bardzo młody pies w typie teriera. W pierwszym kontakcie z człowiekiem jest nieśmiały, ale bardzo szybko przychodzi mu zaufanie człowiekowi. Jest to pies odebrany w wyniku interwencji. Gdy trafił do schroniska bał się człowieka i nie potrafił chodzić na smyczy, ale to co jest szokujące bardzo szybko to załapał. Aktualnie daje sobie ładnie założyć szelki, na spacerze idzie na luźnej smyczy blisko człowieka co jakiś czas szukając interakcji z człowiekiem. Bardzo ładnie przybiega na zawołanie, a gdy otwiera się kieszeń to opiera się o nogę domagając się smaczków. Gdy zaufa człowiekowi zaczyna gramolić się mu na kolana by być jak najbliżej człowieka. Ruch uliczny nadal go stresuje, ale z dnia na dzień Pixi robi ogromne postępy. Jak na teriera przystało Pixi kocha węszyć każdy napotkany krzaczek, a na znanym mu terenie biega i szaleje jak na młodego psa przystało, ale zawsze znajdzie czas by przyjść do człowieka po smaczki lub na głaskanie. To co jest też szokujące Pixi od początku nie miał problemu z wchodzeniem do pomieszczeń. Jest w nich wyluzowany, zwiedza i węszy, a gdy już skończy to przychodzi do człowieka na kanapę lub kolana. Mieszkał przez dłuższy czas w boksie ze swoim bratem Dixim, z którym bardzo dobrze się dogaduje. Prawdopodobnie odnalazłby się w domu z innym psem.

About Pixi

What life with Pixi looks like

Pixi is a small 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 Pixi, answered.

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