How do I contact the shelter about Roki?

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

Can I adopt Roki if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Roki 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 Roki 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 Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roki 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.

Adopt Roki

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello, I am Roki. I was born on November 15, 2022, and I came to the animal shelter on September 9, 2024, from an intervention on Sikorskiego Street. It was a difficult moment - as a result of the tense situation, I bit a teenager. I also had a severe illness - parvo virus, which left a mark on my health. Now I have neurological problems, which affect my behavior and make behavioral work with me more difficult. I know it sounds serious, but I am still a young dog with great potential. I have a lot of energy and desire to live. However, I need a responsible, patient caregiver who will understand my needs and be ready to work with me with the help of specialists. With proper care, I can achieve a lot and become a wonderful companion. The animal shelter staff does everything they can, but it is a home, not an animal shelter, where I can really start to develop. My neurological problems mean that sometimes I behave unusually, but that does not mean I do not deserve love and a home. On the contrary - I need someone who understands and loves me just as I am more than others. Are you ready to take on this challenge? If so, come visit me at the animal shelter and see what I am really like. Adoption is a responsibility for me, but also an opportunity to create an extraordinary bond with a dog who, despite a difficult past, is able to love with all his heart. Finally, I would like to add that I am already vaccinated, dewormed, and have had the neutering procedure. I am waiting for you - maybe you are my future caregiver?

Cześć, jestem Roki. Urodziłem się 15 listopada 2022 roku, a do schroniska trafiłem 9 września 2024 roku z interwencji na ul. Sikorskiego. To był trudny moment – w wyniku napiętej sytuacji pogryzłem nastolatka. Przeszedłem także ciężką chorobę – parwowirozę, która pozostawiła ślad na moim zdrowiu. Teraz mam problemy neurologiczne, które wpływają na moje zachowanie i sprawiają, że praca behawioralna ze mną jest trudniejsza. Wiem, że brzmi to poważnie, ale mimo wszystko jestem młodym psem z ogromnym potencjałem. Mam w sobie mnóstwo energii i chęci do życia. Potrzebuję jednak odpowiedzialnego, cierpliwego opiekuna, który zrozumie moje potrzeby i będzie gotowy pracować ze mną z pomocą specjalistów. Przy odpowiedniej opiece mogę osiągnąć wiele i stać się wspaniałym towarzyszem. Personel schroniska robi wszystko, co w ich mocy, ale to dom, a nie schronisko, jest miejscem, w którym mogę naprawdę zacząć się rozwijać. Moje neurologiczne problemy oznaczają, że czasami zachowuję się nietypowo, ale to nie znaczy, że nie zasługuję na miłość i dom. Wręcz przeciwnie – bardziej niż inni potrzebuję kogoś, kto mnie zrozumie i pokocha takim, jakim jestem. Czy jesteś gotowy, by podjąć te wyzwanie? Jeśli tak, odwiedź mnie w schronisku i przekonaj się, jaki naprawdę jestem. Adopcja mnie to odpowiedzialność, ale także szansa na stworzenie niezwykłej więzi z psem, który mimo trudnej przeszłości potrafi kochać całym sercem. Na koniec dodam, że jestem już zaszczepiony, odrobaczony i po zabiegu kastracji. Czekam na Ciebie – może to właśnie Ty jesteś moim przyszłym opiekunem?

About Roki

What life with Roki looks like

Roki is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.
