Adopt Walter

Male · Senior · 9 years

Senior Walter is looking for a home! Walter is a blind senior dog - likes to spend time close to the caregiver, but on his own terms. In moments of strong stress or panic, he may react impulsively and sometimes uncontrollably grab a person's hand, therefore requires a caregiver who is calm, attentive, and able to read the signals sent by the dog. On a leash, he needs support and sure guidance, and during walks likes to sniff. He does not accept other dogs, therefore should be the only pet in the home. We are looking for a quiet, responsible home for Walter that will provide him with a sense of security. For adoption, we ask that you have your own leash and collar. The description is written based on observations of the dog at the animal shelter. Walter is under the care of OTOZ Animals animal shelter in Tczew. Shelter registration number: 390/19 The male is vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed.

Senior Walter szuka domu! Walter to niewidomy psi senior - lubi spędzać czas blisko opiekuna, ale na własnych zasadach. W momentach silnego stresu lub paniki może reagować impulsywnie i zdarza mu się niekontrolowanie chwycić człowieka za rękę, dlatego wymaga opiekuna, który będzie spokojny, uważny i potrafiący czytać sygnały wysyłane przez psa. Na smyczy potrzebuje wsparcia i pewnego prowadzenia, a podczas spacerów lubi węszyć. Nie akceptuje innych psów, dlatego powinien być jedynym zwierzęciem w domu. Szukamy dla Waltera spokojnego, odpowiedzialnego domu, który zapewni mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa. PRZY ADOPCJI PROSIMY O POSIADANIE WŁASNEJ SMYCZY ORAZ OBROŻY Opis jest napisany względem obserwacji psa w schronisku. Walter przebywa pod opieką OTOZ Animals Schroniska w Tczewie.

About Walter

What life with Walter looks like

Walter is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Tczewie 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 Walter, answered.

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