Poko

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

at the animal shelter since: 17.05.2024, origin: Pułtusk, Poko, is not a big dog, who has been with us for a short time and is confused by being in the animal shelter. He is not particularly convinced by people and lacks trust in them. Poko may seem like "not a puppy" at first glance, but after leaving the crate, he becomes a completely different dog. Like any dog, he loves walks 😉 He is friendly towards other dogs. On a leash, he behaves very well and does not pull. We don't know his relationship with cats. Poko is looking for a home where his new owners will patiently and calmly work on his socialization so that he can fully trust humans again. Let's give him a chance for a new home!

w schronisku od: 17.05.2024, pochodzenie: Pułtusk, Poko, to nie duży psiak, który jest u nas od niedawna i jest zdezorientowany pobytem w schronisku. Do człowieka nie jest zbytnio przekonany i brakuje mu do niego zaufania. Poko na pierwszy rzut oka wydaje się być, nie miluchem”, jednak po wyjściu z boksu, zmienia się w całkowicie innego psa. Jak każda psina uwielbia spacerki 😉 Jest przyjaźnie nastawiony do innych piesków. Na smyczy bardzo dobrze sobie radzi i nie ciągnie. Stosunek do kotów nie jest nam znany. Poko szuka domu gdzie nowi właściciele będą cierpliwie i spokojnie przeprowadzać z nim socjalizację aby na nowo mógł poczuć w pełni zaufanie do człowieka. Dajmy mu szanse na nowy dom!

About Poko

What life with Poko looks like

Poko is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt Ciechanów in Poland.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Poko, answered.

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