Rollo

Mixed Breed · Male

Someone once hurt Rollo so much as a puppy that it was only as an adult dog that he dared to trust a human again... When he came to us as a young dog, he didn't know anything. He behaved as if nothing good had ever happened to him from humans, he didn't know life, the outside world. He was torn by emotions and constant fear. Many years and much work cost us to bring out the beauty that had been taken from him long ago. Today we can confidently say that only one step separates Rollo from normal dog behavior. He has undergone an amazing transformation and we are sure that with a new caregiver he will open up even more. We are looking for a caregiver for him with experience, who likes working with dogs. It will be a beautiful friendship.

Ktoś kiedyś tak mocno skrzywdził Rollo za jego szczenięcych lat, że dopiero jako dorosły pies odważył się na nowo zaufać człowiekowi… Gdy trafił do nas jako podrostek, nie potrafił nic. Zachowywał się jakby nigdy nic dobrego nie spotkało go od człowieka, nie znał życia, świata zewnętrznego. Targały nim emocje i wieczny strach. Wiele lat i wiele pracy nas kosztowało, by wydobyć z niego piękno, którego niegdyś go pozbawiono. Dzisiaj śmiało możemy powiedzieć, że tylko krok dzieli Rollo od psiej normalności. Przebył niesamowitą metamorfozę i mamy pewność, że przy nowym opiekunie otworzy się jeszcze bardziej. Szukamy dla niego opiekuna z doświadczeniem, lubiącego pracę z psem. To będzie piękna przyjaźń.

About Rollo

What life with Rollo looks like

Rollo is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rollo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rollo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rollo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rollo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rollo 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 Rollo 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 Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rollo 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.
