Wiki

German Shepherd · Female · Senior · 14 years

Health status: cloudy lens, splenectomy, removal of milk teeth, taking thyroid medication, joint degeneration—details will be discussed with the veterinarian prior to the adoption process. Wiki is a sweet, elderly female dog resembling a shepherd-type breed. At first, she’s reserved around new people, but as soon as she feels more confident, she comes over and gently nudges her nose into your hand, then rests her head on your lap, demanding affection (during which she’ll happily accept a tasty treat). She particularly loves being scratched behind the ears and on her rump. On walks, she strides briskly ahead, walking loosely on a leash, constantly checking to see if her human is keeping pace. She’s not at all intimidated by street traffic. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs. With more assertive dogs, she feels somewhat uncertain, but she’d certainly be happy living with a well-balanced canine companion. Due to her age, she’d do best in a home with few stairs. She’s looking for an owner who can provide her with peace and security, and in return, she’ll offer a loyal and devoted friend.

Stan zdrowia: zmętnienie soczewki, wycięta śledziona, usunięte listwy mleczne, przyjmuje leki na tarczycę, zwyrodnienia stawów – szczegóły będą omówione z weterynarzem przed procesem adopcyjnymWiki to słodziutka, starsza suczka w typie owczarka. Wobec nowych osób na początku jest wycofana, ale gdy tylko poczuje się pewniej przychodzi i wsuwa pyszczek w rękę, kładzie na kolana domagając się pieszczot (pod czas których nie pogardzi smaczkiem). Najbardziej lubi drapanie za uszkiem jak i po zadku. Na spacerze idzie żwawo przed siebie, na luźnej smyczy, sprawdzając co chwilę czy człowiek idzie za nią. Ruch uliczny nie jest jej straszny. Z innymi psami bardzo dobrze się dogaduje. Przy tych bardziej nachalnych czuje się niepewnie, ale z zrównoważonym psiakiem jak najbardziej mogłaby zamieszkać. Ze względu na jej wiek powinna trafić do domu z małą ilością schodów. Szuka ona opiekuna, który zapewni jej spokój i bezpieczeństwo, a w zamian uzyska oddaną przyjaciółkę.

About Wiki

What life with Wiki looks like

Wiki is a medium-sized senior german shepherd dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 Wiki, answered.

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