Śliniak

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Hello, my name is Śliniak and I am a medium-sized dog. I was born around 2019. I arrived at the animal shelter on August 28, 2024, from an intervention. I was tied to a tree on Podgórna Street, near a "Żabka" store. I seemed to be familiar with the animal shelter staff, as it turned out that in July 2024, my owner was looking for a new home for me. The animal shelter posted my advertisement, and my owner described me as a friendly dog who loves to play with small kittens and smaller dogs. He mentioned that I am afraid of larger dogs, I am curious about the world, but I won't say no to snuggling in bed. He praised my ability to respond to commands, fetching, and all kinds of ball and rope games, which are my favorite activities. The advertisement did not miss valuable information about my separation anxiety and that I am not fond of children. When I arrived at the animal shelter, the staff did not recognize the same Shliniak that the owner described. Śliniak arrived frightened, hungry, and sensitive to any smallest movement. I am afraid to form relationships and am closed off to the world. As soon as I see a person, I immediately evacuate, and I only eat when the person leaves. What happened during this period... really blocked my joy and sense of safety. The staff is going to great lengths to help me return to the previous Shliniak, but I don't hide the fact that it's difficult and needs time. Someone hurt me badly, there is a lot of work ahead... Unfortunately, the animal shelter was unable to contact my owner, who is currently abroad. If you want to learn more about the changes in my behavior, the progress achieved, write: or call: 519-822-885. I fight for a better tomorrow! Let's hope so.

Witajcie, mam na imię Śliniak i jestem średniej wielkości psem. Urodziłem się w okolicach 2019 roku. Do schroniska trafiłem 28 sierpnia 2024 roku z interwencji. Byłem uwiązany do drzewa przy ul. Podgórnej, nieopodal znajdującego się sklepu "Żabka". Wydawałem się być znajomy dla personelu schroniska, jak się okazało w okolicach lipca 2024 roku mój właściciel szukał dla mnie nowego domu. Schronisko udostępniło moje ogłoszenie, mój właściciel opisywał mnie jako psa pogodnego, uwielbiającego się bawić z małymi kociakami i mniejszymi od siebie psami. Wspominał, że większych psów się boję, jaki jestem ciekawy świata, ale też nie odmówię poleniuchowania w łóżku. Pochwalił się moją zdolnością reagowania na komendy, aportowania, wszelkie zabawy z piłką, sznurkiem to moje ulubione zajęcia. W ogłoszeniu nie zabrakło cennej informacji o moim lęku separacyjnym, a także o tym, że nie przepadam za dziećmi. Gdy trafiłem do schroniska personel nie poznał tego samego Śliniaka, jakiego opisywał właściciel. Śliniak trafił przerażony, głodny, przeczulony na jakikolwiek najmniejszy ruch. Boi się nawiązać relacji i jest zamknięty na świat. Gdy tylko ujrzę człowieka natychmiast się ewakuuję, a jedzenie podejmuje gdy człowiek odejdzie. To, co się przez ten okres wydarzyło... Bardzo mnie przyblokowało na radość i poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Personel staje na głowie, aby pomóc mi wrócić do wersji poprzedniego Śliniaka, nie ukrywam jednak, że jest to trudne i potrzebuje czasu. Ktoś mnie mocno skrzywdził, czeka mnie sporo pracy... Niestety schronisku nie udało się skontaktować z moim właścicielem, który obecnie przebywa za granicą.Jeśli chcesz dowiedzieć się więcej na temat zmiany w moim zachowaniu, uzyskiwanych progresów napisz: lub zadzwoń:. 519-822-885. Walczę o lepsze jutro! Miejmy nadzieję.

About Śliniak

What life with Śliniak looks like

Śliniak 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Śliniak, answered.

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