Adopt Wafel

Mixed Breed · Male

Due to the ongoing proceedings, we are looking for a temporary home for him. Temperament: Wafel is a dog that looks like a terrier, characterized by curiosity about the world and a desire to explore. In the animal shelter, he is learning new behaviors and adapting to the environment. Wafel readily jumps onto laps when he feels safe, but at first needs a lot of time and patience to trust a new person. The dog was brought to the animal shelter through an intervention; previously, he lived in difficult conditions, sharing space with other animals. Currently, he is gradually learning about the world and how to function in a new environment. Wafel has recently started walking on a leash, which is a big step forward for him. The outside world is still unknown to him and can sometimes scare him, but in stressful situations, he seeks support from a person he knows. We are looking for a temporary home for Wafek, where he will be able to feel safe and gradually open up to new experiences. An ideal caregiver is a calm, patient, and understanding person, ready to support the dog in his development. Prepare for a large number of meetings, as Wafelek needs a lot of time to get used to new people.

Ze względu na prowadzone postępowanie, szukamy dla niego domu tymczasowego z pierwszeństwem do adopcji. Usposobienie: Wafel to pies o wyglądzie przypominającym terriera, który charakteryzuje się ciekawością świata i chęcią eksploracji. W schronisku uczy się nowych zachowań i adaptacji do otoczenia. Wafel chętnie wskakuje na kolana, gdy poczuje się bezpiecznie, jednak na początku potrzebuje dużo czasu i cierpliwości, aby zaufać nowej osobie. Pies trafił do schroniska z interwencji, wcześniej mieszkał w trudnych warunkach, dzieląc przestrzeń z innymi zwierzętami. Obecnie stopniowo poznaje świat i uczy się funkcjonowania w nowym otoczeniu. Wafel od niedawna chodzi na smyczy, co jest dla niego dużym krokiem naprzód. Świat zewnętrzny jest dla niego jeszcze nieznany i czasami może go on wystraszyć, jednak w sytuacjach stresowych szuka wsparcia u znanego mu człowieka. Poszukujemy dla Wafla domu tymczasowego, w którym będzie mógł poczuć się bezpiecznie i stopniowo otwierać na nowe doświadczenia. Idealny opiekun to osoba spokojna, cierpliwa i wyrozumiała, gotowa wspierać psa w jego rozwoju. Trzeba się przygotować na dużą ilość zapoznań, ponieważ Wafelek potrzebuje dużo czasu by się przekonać do nowych osób.

About Wafel

What life with Wafel looks like

Wafel is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 Wafel, answered.

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