Roksi

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 14 months

Roksi is a young female dog of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog breed. She ended up at the shelter after escaping from her previous home, where she was the main instigator of the escapes. She is the sister of another one of our residents, Baloo, and the owner has relinquished all rights to both her and Baloo. Roksi exhibits strong breed characteristics: she tends to be cautious, alert, and reserved toward strangers, and it takes more than just a brief encounter to earn her trust. She’s a powerful dog that requires an experienced, stable guardian who can set clear boundaries. With people she knows well, she remains calm and composed; beneath her somewhat distant exterior lies a very intelligent, joyful, and valuable female dog. She has had contact with children and, once she gets to know them, she develops a good relationship with them—but due to her size, she needs constant supervision by adults. She instinctively chases cats; in her previous home, she didn’t harm them, but we don’t know yet whether she’ll get along with cats in the long term. We’re looking for a home with a securely fenced yard, where she’ll have the freedom to decide whether she wants to stay outside or inside the house. An important condition for adoption is that Roksi undergo several introductory walks at the shelter, so she can gradually build a bond with her new guardian. At the moment, the female dog is healthy, strong, and doesn’t require a special diet.

Roksi to młoda suczka w typie owczarka kaukaskiego. Do schroniska trafiła po ucieczkach z poprzedniego domu, których była główną inicjatorką. Jest siostrą innego naszego podopiecznego, Baloo, a właściciel zrzekł się praw zarówno do niej, jak i do Baloo. Roksi wykazuje silne cechy rasy: w stosunku do obcych bywa ostrożna, czujna i niedostępna, a jej zaufania nie da się zdobyć podczas jednego krótkiego spotkania. To silny pies wymagający doświadczonego, stabilnego opiekuna, który potrafi stawiać jasne granice. Wobec znanych sobie osób jest opanowana, a pod zdystansowaną maską kryje się bardzo mądra, radosna i wartościowa suczka. Miała kontakt z dziećmi i kiedy już je pozna to ma dobry stosunek, ale ze względu na jej gabaryty wymaga pełnej kontroli dorosłych. Instynktownie goni koty – w poprzednim domu ich nie krzywdziła, jednak nie wiemy czy na dłuższą metę dogada się z kotami. Szukamy dla niej domu z dobrze zabezpieczoną posesją, w którym będzie miała możliwość decydowania czy chce przebywać na zewnątrz, czy w środku domu. Ważnym warunkiem adopcji jest odbycie kilku spacerów zapoznawczych w schronisku, aby Roksi powoli zbudowała relację z nowym opiekunem. Suczka na ten moment jest zdrowa, silna i nie wymaga specjalistycznej diety.

About Roksi

What life with Roksi looks like

Roksi is a extra-large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Wrocław in Wrocław.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱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 Roksi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roksi?
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 Roksi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roksi 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 Roksi 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 Roksi 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 Roksi 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.
