How do I contact the shelter about ROKI?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Kraków 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 Kraków 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 Kraków 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.

ROKI

Male · Adult · 6 years

ROKI can win over anyone with a glance — but this is not a dog for everyone. This is a 6-year-old small dog who needs an experienced caregiver. He returned to the animal shelter after two years of adoption due to aggressive behavior and resource guarding. He is an extremely charming dog, gazing lovingly at his caregiver. But he is also a dog that needs to be well known before one can allow for greater affection. And even then, one must listen carefully to him, because Roky is very eager to communicate and gains a lot with closer acquaintance. Walks with Roky are especially pleasant. He does not pull on the leash, most dogs ignore, he is attentive, and responds well to calls. He really enjoys doing things with a person, whether it's playing with a ball or an obstacle course. We are looking for an empathetic caregiver for Roky, who understands canine communication. A person who will dedicate time to work with the dog, respect his boundaries, and see something more in him than just a cute puppy (which he certainly is). ROKI is not suitable for a home with children or other animals. Regarding a meet-and-greet walk:

PL·Show original

Roki potrafi rozkochać w sobie spojrzeniem — ale to nie jest pies dla każdego. To 6-letni, mały psiak, który potrzebuje doświadczonego opiekuna. Wrócił do schroniska po dwóch latach adopcji z powodu zachowań agresywnych i obrony zasobów. Jest to niezwykle uroczy psiak, wpatrzony w swojego opiekuna. Ale jest to też typ psa, którego trzeba dobrze poznać zanim można pozwolić sobie na większe czułości. A i wtedy trzeba uważnie go słuchać, bo Rokuś bardzo chętnie się komunikuje i naprawdę przy bliższej znajomości wiele zyskuje. Spacery z Rokim są wyjątkowo przyjemne. Nie ciągnie na smyczy, większość psów ignoruje, jest uważny, świetnie reaguje na wołanie. Bardzo lubi robić rzeczy z człowiekiem, czy to zabawą piłeczką, czy tor przeszkód. Szukamy dla Rokiego empatycznego opiekuna, który rozumie psią komunikację. Człowieka, który poświęci czas na pracę z psem, uszanuje jego granice i zobaczy w nim coś więcej niż ładnego psiaka (którym bez dwóch zdań oczywiście jest). Roki nie nadaje się do domu z dziećmi ani innymi zwierzętami. W sprawie spaceru zapoznawczego: Julia 601 499 800

About ROKI

What life with ROKI looks like

ROKI is a small adult dog waiting at Schronisko Kraków in Kraków.

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.

Note from the shelter: History of aggressive behavior and resource guarding. Returned to shelter after 2 years due to behavioral issues.

🇵🇱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.
