Rako

Mixed Breed · Male

Rako is a 5-year-old smaller male. He came to our animal shelter at the end of May 2021 from Gmina Szczurowa. His former owner neglected him, and thus Rako ended up with us. He is a wonderful friend every day, very attached to the caregiver. He always wants to be underfoot, one of his favorite activities is rolling in the grass, preferably under the caregiver's feet, which he can do for hours. The dog's smile never leaves his face, he is calm on a daily basis, but when on the yard he can show how much energy he has, and he mainly needs companions, because he gets bored alone. He loves playing, readily runs after balls, or plays tug-of-war, and when he gets tired he usually starts rolling in the grass. During walks, he nicely focuses on the handler using treats, and thus the guy is easier to train. Rako is neutered and vaccinated, has all the vaccinations. He is regularly dewormed and protected against fleas and ticks. Adoptions are from Tuesday to Saturday from 9-14.

Rako jest 5-letnim mniejszym samcem. Do naszego schroniska trafił pod koniec maja 2021 roku z Gminy Szczurowa. Jego były właściciel zaniedbywał go, a tym samym Rako trafił do nas. Na co dzień jest cudownym przyjacielem, mocno wpatrzonym w opiekuna. Cały czas pragnie być pod nogami, jedno z jego ulubionych zajęć to tarzanie się w trawie, najlepiej pod nogami opiekuna, co może robić godzinami. Psinie uśmiech nie schodzi z pyszczka, na co dzień jest spokojny, lecz będąc na wybiegu potrafi pokazać, ile ma w sobie energii, a do tego głównie potrzebuje kompanów, gdyż samemu jest nudno. Kocha zabawy, chętnie pobiega za piłkami, czy też pobawi się w przeciąganie, a gdy się zmęczy standardowo rozpoczyna tarzanie w trawie. Na spacerach za pomocą smakołyków ładnie skupia się na przewodniku, a tym samym łatwiej można chłopaka szkolić. Rako został u nas zaczipowany oraz wykastrowany, ma komplet szczepień. Jest regularnie odrobaczany i zabezpieczany przeciw pchłom i kleszczom. Adopcje są od wtorku do soboty od 9-14. Prosimy zabrać ze sobą smycz i obrożę

About Rako

What life with Rako looks like

Rako is a mixed breed dog waiting at Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie in Tarnów.

A 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. Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, and adopters often cover transport. Confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rako, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rako?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rako on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rako if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie whether they will for Rako, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rako already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie lists Rako as microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rako isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rako 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.
