How do I contact the shelter about Rodrigo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Psa Karmela handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rodrigo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rodrigo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Psa Karmela 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 Rodrigo 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 Rodrigo 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 Fundacja Psa Karmela early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rodrigo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Rodrigo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Rodrigo for adoption - Rodrigo Location: Krakow Rodrigo has survived hell. Today he only dreams of one thing - his own person. Rodrigo came to our foundation from a shelter. It was immediately clear that he urgently needed help. His right front paw was in a terrible state - extremely swollen, torn, with a bone sticking out and a putrid, necrotic wound. The sight was terrifying, and the smell indicated a large inflammatory process. Rodrigo was a strong pain patient - he panted with pain, and every movement caused him great suffering. The fight to save the limb began immediately. He underwent surgery, during which it was necessary to amputate the fingers and transplant the pads. Later, he was waiting for long weeks of treatment, regular dressing changes and many follow-up visits. Thanks to our quick reaction, the work of veterinarians and the huge commitment of the foundation, it was possible to save the paw. Although Rodrigo no longer has fingers, the limb is functional and it was possible to avoid amputating the entire paw. It was a long and difficult fight, but it ended in victory. Today nothing hurts him. Today he just wants to live. Rodrigo is about 5.5 years old and is a dog who enjoys life every day. He is cheerful, joyful and curious about the world. He likes activity, walks and playing together, but he is also happy to come for a moment of tenderness and closeness with a person. Eating is definitely his biggest motivation. For a treat, he will do anything! He also loves toys - he brings plush toys beautifully and can play with them very well. Rodrigo is a very human, sensitive and cuddly dog. He loves contact with people, seeks closeness and loves to be stroked. Despite everything he has been through, he has not lost trust in people. On the contrary - with all his heart he believes that his own family is waiting for him somewhere. He is healthy and friendly. He likes to make contact with other dogs and most often invites them to play together. Cats on walks can arouse his interest, so a home without cats or proper introduction will be the best solution. After all he has been through, Rodrigo has not lost his joy of life or his love for people. Now he is missing only one thing - a home where he will be loved forever. Rodrigo lives in a temporary home in the Krakow area. He is a really wonderful dog! Maybe you are his person? If you want to meet Rodrigo and give him a home, fill out the adoption agreement.

Już na pierwszy rzut oka było widać, że pilnie potrzebuje pomocy.Jego prawa przednia łapa była w tragicznym stanie – ogromnie opuchnięta, dziurawa, z wystającą kością i cuchnącą, martwiczą raną. Widok był przerażający, a zapach świadczył o rozległym stanie zapalnym. Rodrigo był pacjentem silnie bólowym – dyszał z bólu, a każdy ruch sprawiał mu ogromne cierpienie.Od razu rozpoczęła się walka o uratowanie kończyny. Przeszedł operację, podczas której konieczna była amputacja palców oraz przeszczep opuszków.

About Rodrigo

What life with Rodrigo looks like

Rodrigo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Psa Karmela in Poland.

An adult 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. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.
