Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Rocky is about 4 years old. The owner gave him to the animal shelter due to aggressive behavior towards children. He lived in a kennel run and was isolated, which probably shaped his reactions in this way, not another. When Rocky gets to know someone, he is friendly and sociable dog. With other dogs, he can also behave very well. With strangers, he may act aggressively, so his reactions need to be observed and he needs to be properly secured. To adopt Rocky, you need experience in handling TTB and appropriate conditions. It would be best if he went to a house with access to a garden. We are looking for a place for him where he will not have contact with children.

PL·Show original

Rocky ma ok. 4 lat. Do schroniska oddał go właściciel z powodu zachowań agresywnych wykazywanych wobec dzieci. Mieszkał w kojcu i był izolowany, co prawdopodobnie ukształtowało w nim takie, a nie inne, reakcje. Gdy Rocky kogoś pozna, to jest przyjaznym i towarzyskim psem. Wobec psów również potrafi się zachować bardzo dobrze. Do obcych może zachować się gwałtowanie, a więc trzeba obserwować jego reakcje i odpowiednio go zabezpieczyć. Aby podjąć się adopcji Rockiego, należy mieć doświadczenie w prowadzeniu TTB i odpowiednie warunki. Najlepiej, żeby trafił do domu z możliwością wyjścia na ogród. Szukamy dla niego miejsca, gdzie nie będzie miał kontaktu z dziećmi.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Wrocław in Wrocław.

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.

Note from the shelter: History of aggression toward children, requires isolation management and experienced handler

🇵🇱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 Rocky, answered.

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