Psotka

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 16 years

Disposition: Psotka is 16 years old, blind and deaf. In the shelter box, she was disoriented and lost for the first few days and only gradually got used to the new space. At first, she didn't particularly like being touched and would shy away when someone tried to pet her. However, when she senses a familiar person near the box, she barks happily and eagerly goes for walks. In the open, she needs support to move safely, and gentle leash signals work well for her. Despite her orientation issues, she walks willingly and surprises with the speed her small paws can achieve. When the noise of the shelter boxes fades, she slows down a bit and starts to take an interest in her surroundings. She will need a calm home and a patient caregiver who will give her time, support, and won't expect quick interactions from her.

Usposobienie: Psotka ma 16 lat, niedowidzi i niedosłyszy. W schroniskowym boksie była przez pierwsze dni zdezorientowana i zagubiona i dopiero z czasem rozeznała nową przestrzeń. Na początku znajomości niespecjalnie lubi dotyk i odsuwa się przy próbie głaskania. Za to gdy wyczuje znajomą osobę przy boksie to aż poszczekuje i chętnie wychodzi na spacer. W terenie potrzebuje wsparcia aby móc bezpiecznie się poruszać, dobrze się do tego sprawdzają delikatne sygnały smyczą. Mimo kłopotów z orientacją maszeruje chętnie i zaskakuje tempem, które potrafią rozwinąć jej małe łapki. Gdy oddali się od zgiełku schroniskowych boksów to nieco zwalnia i zaczyna interesować się otoczeniem. Będzie potrzebowała spokojnego domu oraz cierpliwego opiekuna który da jej czas, wsparcie i nie będzie oczekiwał szybkich interakcji z jej strony.

About Psotka

What life with Psotka looks like

Psotka is a small senior mixed breed 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 Psotka, answered.

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