Tango

Male · Adult · 5 years

Tanguś has been waiting for a home since March 2024. A home that hasn't even come close to him in all this time... You can see that he's giving up, he doesn't always want to go for a walk, sometimes he returns to the animal shelter after just 10 minutes. He used to be unstoppable, running as fast as his legs could carry him to discover new corners of the world outside the animal shelter. At the beginning of his shelter journey, Tanguś was a very timid dog, afraid of people, touch, crowds and noises. In these little over two years, we managed to work through most of the problems he had when he came to us. Now he's trying his strength in basic obedience and various tricks, and you know what? He is absolutely a master at it. He catches all new skills quickly, and the joy it gives him is indescribable. On walks away from the animal shelter, he explores a lot, but he comes to every call and beautifully maintains contact with the handler. You can see that he really needs a change of environment and exploring new areas or scents, but unfortunately Choszczno isn't a big city, so in recent months he's already looked into almost every available corner. Tanguś can handle his endless energy in the city and walks nicely on (almost) a loose leash. He doesn't pay special attention to people passing by, although large and loud crowds still cause him some fear. He sometimes pulls on other dogs, but we are constantly working on it. Passing cars don't affect him much, unless it's a big and loud truck, in which case Tanguś can get scared. How about car rides? Great! There's no problem with jumping onto the back seat, and during the trip he looks out the window and watches a lot as if he can't get enough of the surrounding world. Tanguś has worked intensively on accepting touch, lifting paws or brushing over the last year. He has made huge progress, he can even offer himself a little affection on his own. "Forced" touch still causes him some discomfort, but with each subsequent time he handles it better. Tanguś is about 4 years old, weighs 16 kg, and is the textbook definition of an average-sized dog. He is waiting for his home in the animal shelter in Choszczno. He is microchipped, neutered and vaccinated. He is absolutely ready to trade his shelter box for a warm couch. He can live with a dog, but not with cats. Children, provided they are older and able to respect the dog, will not be a problem for him. If you want to learn more about him, call volunteer Frank: 572 440 330 (if I don't answer, please send an SMS). If you want to help this dog, but can't adopt him - we invite you to walks! Every day between.

polski English Deutsch Tango od marca 2024 roku czeka na dom. Na dom, który przez ten cały czas nawet nie zbliżył się do niego na krok... Widać po nim, że już się poddaje, nie zawsze ma ochotę na spacer, czasami wraca do schroniska po zaledwie 10 minutach. Kiedyś był nie do zatrzymania, leciał ile sił w nogach byleby zdobywać kolejne zakątki świata poza schroniskiem. Tanguś na początku swojej schroniskowej podróży był psem bardzo lękliwym, bał się człowieka, dotyku, tłumów i hałasów. Przez te niepełne dwa lata udało Nam się wypracować większość problemy z jakimi do nas trafił. Teraz próbuje swoich sił w podstawowym posłuszeństwie i różnego rodzaju sztuczkach i wiecie co? Jest w tym absolutnie mistrzachą. Łapie wszystkie nowe umiejętności w mig, a frajda jaką mu to daje jest nie do opisania. Na spacerach z dala od schroniska dużo eksploruje, ale przychodzi na każde zawołanie i pięknie trzyma kontakt z przewodnikiem. Widać, że bardzo potrzebuje zmiany otoczenia i poznawiania nowych terenów czy zapachów, ale niestety Choszczno do wielkich miast nie należy, więc przez te ostatnie miesiące zdążył już zajrzeć w prawie każdy dostępny zakamarek... Tango na mieście potrafi przytrzymać swoją niekończącą się energię i pięknie chodzić na (prawie) luźnej smyczy. Na mijane osoby nie zwraca szczególnej uwagi, chociaż duże i głośne tłumy budzą w nim jeszcze trochę lęku. Do innych psów zdarza mu się pociągnąć, chociaż stale nad tym pracujemy. Przejeżdżające samochody nie robią na nim większego wrażenia, no chyba, że jest to wielki i głośny tir, wtedy Tango potrafi się wystraszyć. A jak z jazdą autem pytacie? Wyśmienicie! Nie ma problemu z wskoczeniem na tylne siedzenie, a podczas podróży wygląda za okno i dużo obserwuje jakby nie mógł się napatrzeć na otaczający go świat. Tanguś przez ostatni rok intensywnie pracował nad akceptacją dotyku, podnoszenia łap czy czesania. Postępy zrobił ogromne, potrafi się nawet sam podstawić po trochę czułości. "Wymuszony" dotyk sprawia mu jeszcze trochę dyskomfortu, ale z każdym kolejnym razem znosi go coraz lepiej. Tango ma ok 4 lat, waży 16kg, jest definicją książkową średniego psa. Czeka na swój dom w schronisku w Choszcznie. Został zaczipowany, wykastrowany i zaszczepiony. Jest absolutnie gotowy, żeby zmienić schroniskowy boks na ciepłą kanapę. Może zamieszkać z psem, ale z kotami się nie dogada. Dzieci, o ile będą starsze i umiejące szanować psa nie będą dla niego problemem. Jeśli chcesz dowiedzieć się o nim więcej, dzwoń do Wolontariusza Franka: 572 440 330 (jeśli nie odbiorę proszę o sms). Jeśli chcesz pomóc temu psu, a nie możesz go adoptować- zapraszamy na spacery! Codziennie w godzinach . KONTAKT W SPRAWIE PSA FRANEK ( TYLKO SMS) 572440330 , LUB BIURO 513 135 375

About Tango

What life with Tango looks like

Tango is a small adult dog waiting at Schronisko Choszczno 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tango, answered.

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