Teddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Today we want to present to you a dog who looks like a miniature version of a Caucasian shepherd. So... Teddy - that's his name - is about 9 years old and showed up at the animal shelter as a polite, calm gentleman. He is very affectionate, likes human contact and gladly allows petting. He is definitely a couch potato. On walks he walks slowly and calmly - there's no madness in his head. We think he would be the ideal companion for a person with a calm temperament who values unhurried but not too long walks. Teddy is also a big fan of treats. It sometimes happens that during a walk he suddenly stops and looks hopefully at the caregiver, hoping for a small incentive in the form of a sausage. If the bill is not settled - he won't throw a scene, but will continue walking slightly disappointed... only to try again shortly to negotiate a snack. Currently, he weighs about 24 kg and reaches the knee. However, due to his love for snacks, it will be necessary to watch out so he doesn't gain weight. He is neutral towards passing dogs and can live with a canine companion after prior introduction. Children who respect the dog's boundaries should not be a problem for him either. Traffic does not impress him much, so he would probably find his way in the city as well. Teddy is however rather an older dog than a young one, therefore it is important that his future home is on the ground floor or in a building with an elevator. He is vaccinated and neutered. He is waiting for his home at the animal shelter in Choszczno. If you want to meet Teddie or have questions - contact volunteer Mai via WhatsApp or SMS (. If you want to help this dog, but can't adopt him - we invite you for walks! Every day between .

Teddy - bo tak mu na imię - ma około 9 lat i w schronisku pokazał się nam jako grzeczny, spokojny dżentelmen. Jest bardzo kochany, lubi kontakt z człowiekiem i chętnie daje się głaskać. To zdecydowanie typ kanapowca. Na spacerach chodzi powoli i spokojnie - zupełnie nie w głowie mu szaleństwa. Sądzimy, że byłby idealnym kompanem dla osoby o spokojnym temperamencie, która ceni sobie niespieszne, ale niezbyt długie spacery. Teddy jest też ogromnym fanem smaczków. Zdarza się, że na spacerze nagle się zatrzyma i z nadzieją spojrzy na opiekuna, licząc na małą zachętę w postaci parówki. Jeśli rachunek nie zostanie uregulowany - nie będzie robił scen, ale podrepcze dalej lekko zawiedziony… by za chwilę znów spróbować wynegocjować przekąskę. Obecnie waży około 24 kg i sięga do kolana. Przy jego zamiłowaniu do smakołyków trzeba będzie jednak pilnować, żeby nie przybrał na wadze. Jest neutralny w stosunku do mijanych psów i może zamieszkać z psim towarzyszem po wcześniejszym zapoznaniu. Dzieci, które szanują psie granice, również nie powinny stanowić dla niego problemu. Ruch uliczny nie robi na nim większego wrażenia, więc prawdopodobnie odnalazłby się także w mieście. Teddy jest jednak raczej seniorem niż młodzieniaszkiem, dlatego ważne, aby jego przyszły dom znajdował się na parterze lub w budynku z windą. Jest zaszczepiony i wykastrowany. Czeka na swój dom w Schronisku w Choszcznie. Jeśli chcesz poznać Teddiego lub masz pytania - odezwij się do wolontariuszki Mai na WhatsAppie lub przez SMS (.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a very small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Choszczno 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 Teddy, answered.

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