Adopt Semir

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Semir, a dog born in February 2015. Semir is a loyal, well-mannered senior. He has been waiting for adoption for almost two and a half years without success. Unfortunately, at his age, it will be difficult to find him a new home, but we will not give up. From the beginning of his stay, Semir was very well-behaved, understood what was expected of him, and quickly learned the rules here. It is clear that the company of humans brings him great joy and makes him feel safe. He loves being petted and cuddled by his caregivers. Of course, Semir has already mastered going on a leash and loves going for walks or playtime with other dogs. So far, he has not gotten into any conflicts and has not tried to dominate anyone, and he spent time on our play area with most of our other residents. We do not know his relationship with cats, but we can check that for a potential adopter. Despite his age, Semir is in good health and his vitality is still good. He does have a tendency to be a bit overweight, and his weight needs to be monitored. He currently weighs around 26 kilograms. The dog is moderately active, which should not be surprising, but our large play area can be covered many times on a single walk. He is also a bit curious and must investigate every corner. Semir would definitely like to spend the rest of his days in peace, and a noisy animal shelter is not the place for him. We would be very grateful if someone noticed him and gave him a peaceful home where he could spend the rest of his days. We very much hope that someone will adopt this sympathetic senior, who will be eternally grateful and will not disappoint his new caregiver. He is not demanding or troublesome. He dreams of a warm home where he will be treated like a true family member. Please do not let Semir spend another winter in our animal shelter. Semir is vaccinated, dewormed, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

Semir, pies urodzony w lutym 2015r. Semir to poczciwy, usłuchany i grzeczny seniorek. Czeka na adopcję już prawie dwa i pół roku bez skutku. W tym wieku niestety nie będzie łatwo znaleźć mu nowego domu, ale nie poddamy się oczywiście. Semir od początku pobytu był bardzo grzeczny, rozumiał czego się od niego oczekuje i szybko nauczył się panujących tutaj zasad. Widać że towarzystwo człowieka sprawia mu wielką radość i czuje się bezpieczniej. Uwielbia być głaskany i przytulany przez swoich opiekunów. Oczywiście Semir chodzenie na smyczy ma już świetnie opanowane i bardzo lubi chodzić na spacery czy wybieg żeby pospacerować w towarzystwie innych psów. Jak na razie nie wchodził w żadne konflikty, ani nie starał się nad nikim dominować, a przebywał na wybiegu z większością naszych podopiecznych. Nie znamy jedynie jego stosunku do kotów, ale jesteśmy w stanie to sprawdzić na życzenie klienta. Mimo swojego wieku Semir ma się dobrze i zdrowie mu dopisuje. Jedynie ma tendencje do tycia i trzeba nadzorować jego wagę. Obecnie waży już około 26 kilogramów. Psiak jest umiarkowanie aktywny, co nie powinno dziwić, ale nasz duży wybieg potrafi wiele razy obejść na jednym spacerze. Jest też trochę ciekawski i każdy kąt musi zwąchać. Semir na pewno chciałby w spokoju spędzić resztę swoich dni, a głośne schronisko nie jest miejscem dla niego. Chcielibyśmy bardzo żeby ktoś go w końcu zauważył i podarował spokojny domek, gdzie będzie mógł spędzić resztę swych dni. Bardzo prosimy o adopcję tego sympatycznego seniora, który na pewno będzie za to dozgonnie wdzięczny i nie zawiedzie swojego nowego opiekuna. Naprawdę nie jest ani wymagający, ani uciążliwy. On marzy o ciepłym domku gdzie będzie traktowany jak prawdziwy członek rodziny. Niech Semir nie spędzi kolejnej zimy w naszym schronisku. Semir jest odrobaczony, zaszczepiony, odpchlony, zaczipowany i wykastrowany.

About Semir

What life with Semir looks like

Semir is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) in Poland.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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 Semir, answered.

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