Ricky 91/26

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Ricky is a 9-year-old medium-sized dog. He was surrendered to the shelter due to severe separation anxiety - being left alone causes him immense stress, which led to him destroying his previous owner's home. He is also able to open his kennel cage on his own, so it cannot be considered a simple solution to this problem. He is looking for a home with someone who is very aware of his difficulties and is willing to patiently work on his anxiety, or a home where someone will be constantly present so he doesn't have to be left alone. He needs understanding and support - the destruction is a result of stress, not malice. Due to his severe separation anxiety, we are also looking for a temporary home for him. Ricky is a wonderful dog, and walking with him is a pure pleasure. He walks beautifully on a leash, pays attention to the handler, but doesn't need constant attention and can take care of his doggy business. He gets along well with dogs, prefers to avoid conflicts. After getting to know him, he should be able to live with a canine companion. He is friendly to people, but not a typical "cuddler". He likes contact, but in reasonable amounts. He knows basic commands and is happy to cooperate with humans. He takes Zenrelie for allergies, Thyroforce for thyroid support, and Calmvet. He is on a hypoallergenic diet. He also has recurring ear problems, most likely related to allergies. The future owner must be prepared to continue treatment, a proper diet, and regular veterinary check-ups. Ricky needs a stable home and a caregiver who will give him time and a sense of security. Contact for adoption: Martyna 728 547 552 (if I don't answer, please send a text with the dog's name)

Pies, ok. 9 lat Ricky to 9-letni pies średniej wielkości. Został oddany do schroniska z powodu silnego lęku separacyjnego - pozostawanie samemu wywołuje u niego ogromny stres, pod wpływem którego zniszczył mieszkanie poprzedniego opiekuna. Potrafi również sam otworzyć klatkę kennelową, dlatego nie można traktować jej jako prostego rozwiązania tego problemu. Szuka domu bardzo świadomego jego trudności i gotowego na cierpliwą, stopniową pracę nad lękiem lub takiego, w którym ktoś będzie stale obecny, aby nie musiał zostawać sam. Potrzebuje zrozumienia i wsparcia - niszczenie wynika ze stresu, a nie ze złośliwości. Ze względu na silny lęk separacyjny szukamy dla niego również domu tymczasowego. Ricky jest cudownym psem, a spacer z nim to czysta przyjemność. Pięknie chodzi na smyczy, zwraca uwagę na przewodnika, ale nie potrzebuje ciągłego zainteresowania i potrafi zająć się swoimi psimi sprawami. Dobrze dogaduje się z psami, od konfliktów woli odejść. Po wcześniejszym zapoznaniu powinien móc zamieszkać z psim kompanem. Do ludzi jest przyjaźnie nastawiony, jednak nie jest typowym „miziakiem”. Lubi kontakt, ale w rozsądnych ilościach. Zna podstawowe komendy i chętnie współpracuje z człowiekiem. Przyjmuje Zenrelie na alergię, Thyroforce na wsparcie tarczycy oraz Calmvet. Jest na karmie hipoalergicznej. Ma także nawracające problemy z uszami, najprawdopodobniej związane z alergią. Przyszły opiekun musi być przygotowany na kontynuację leczenia, odpowiednią dietę i regularne kontrole weterynaryjne. Ricky potrzebuje stabilnego domu i opiekuna, który da mu czas oraz poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: Martyna 728 547 552 (jeśli nie odbieram, proszę o SMS z imieniem psa)

About Ricky 91/26

What life with Ricky 91/26 looks like

Ricky 91/26 is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Katowice in Katowice.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ricky 91/26, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ricky 91/26?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Katowice handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ricky 91/26 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ricky 91/26 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Katowice 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ricky 91/26 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 Ricky 91/26 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 Katowice early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ricky 91/26 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.
