Roger

Mixed Breed · Unknown

At the animal shelter since 29.07.2023. Return to adoption. Date of birth: October 2018, Roger is approximately 7 years old. As a dog, he has a lot to offer his "own" human friends—huge portions of love, joy, and doggy kisses. His devotion has already captured the hearts of several volunteers. 😉 We are looking for a stable environment, space, and the best family in the world for him. He has had it tough in previous homes. His problems with emotional excess were ignored, leading to compulsive chasing and tail biting, which affected his health. At the moment, this problem has significantly decreased, but it may return. Urban walks are stressful for him, and he may become hyperactive (he may then bark, pull, or jump), but in a quieter area, he behaves like a dream. He knows basic commands, loves to run after his favorite treats and tug toys. From our experience, Roger can communicate well with a caregiver and show when a situation is overwhelming—but if not understood, he may resort to using his teeth. Such cases have happened in his life a few times—so we rely on finding caregivers aware of, good at understanding dog communication, and willing to work with specialists. Due to the specific nature of Roger's character, he will not be placed in a home with children or with older individuals. Prior to adoption, there are orientation walks in Krakow. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. An in-home visit, orientation walk, signing of the shelter agreement, and payment of the adoption fee (80 zł) are required. To adopt a dog, you must have a leash and collar.

W schronisku od 29.07.2023r. Zwrot z adopcji. Data urodzenia: pa�dziernik 2018 Roger to oko�o 7 letni psiak, kt�ry dla “swoich” cz�owiek�w ma do zaoferowania ogromne pok�ady mi�o�ci, rado�ci i psich buziak�w. Swoim oddaniem skrad� ju� serce niejednej wolontariuszce. 😉 Szukamy dla niego stabilizacji, przestrzeni i najlepszej na �wiecie rodziny. W poprzednich domach bywa�o ci�ko. Zignorowane zosta�y jego problemy z nadmiarem emocji, co doprowadzi�o m.in. do kompulsywnego gonienia i ranienia ogona, kt�re odbi�o si� na zdrowiu psiaka. W tej chwili ten problem znacz�co si� zmniejszy�, ale mo�e powraca�. Spacery miejskie s� dla niego stresuj�ce i bywa przebod�cowany (mo�e wtedy szczeka�/ci�gn��/skaka�), ale w spokojniejszej okolicy zachowuje si� jak marzenie. Zna podstawowe komendy, bardzo lubi biega� te� za swoimi ulubionymi pi�eczkami i szarpakami. Z naszych do�wiadcze� wynika, �e Roger pi�knie potrafi skomunikowa� si� z opiekunem i da� zna�, kiedy sytuacja go przerasta - ale je�li nie zostanie zrozumiany to w desperacji mo�e posun�� si� do u�ycia z�b�w. Takich przypadk�w zdarzy�o si� w jego �yciu ju� kilka - dlatego bardzo zale�y nam, aby znale�� dla Rogera opiekun�w �wiadomych, dobrze rozumiej�cych psi� komunikacj� i w razie potrzeby ch�tnych do wsp�pracy ze specjalistami. Ze wzgl�du na specyfik� charakteru Rogera nie zostanie on wydany do domu z dzie�mi ani z osobami starszymi. Przed adopcj� obowi�zuj� spacery zapoznawcze w Krakowie. Zosta� odrobaczony, odpchlony, zaszczepiony, zachipowany i wykastrowany. Obowi�zuje wizyta przed i poadopcyjna, spacer zapoznawczy, podpisanie umowy schroniskowej i uiszczenie op�aty adopcyjnej (80z�). Aby adoptowa� psa nale�y mie� smycz i obro�e.

About Roger

What life with Roger looks like

Roger is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Sosnowiec in Sosnowiec.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roger, answered.

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