Zimno

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Does a black, ordinary dog have a chance for a home? My name is Zimno. For a long time, I only felt coldness in my heart at the thought of humans, because it was humans who gave me a cruel fate. I came here with broken teeth, frostbitten ears, and scars on my snout. I need time to trust. I really want to have contact with humans, but the outside world is still difficult for me. However, every day I make beautiful progress. I'm looking for a patient caregiver who will give me a stable, safe home. I know I can repay you many times over. I would also like to live with another brave dog who can help me feel more confident. I may be too energetic for cats and small children, but there's not a bit of aggression in me. I'm about 3 years old, weigh 14 kg, and am neutered.

Czy czarny, zwykły pies ma szansę na dom? Mam na imię Zimno. Na myśl o człowieku długo czułem jedynie chłód w sercu, bo to właśnie człowiek zgotował mi okrutny los. Przyjechałem tu z połamanymi zębami, odmrożonymi uszami i bliznami na pyszczku. Potrzebuję czasu, żeby zaufać. Bardzo pragnę kontaktu z człowiekiem, ale świat zewnętrzny wciąż bywa dla mnie trudny. Każdego dnia robię jednak piękne postępy. Szukam cierpliwego opiekuna, który da mi stabilny, bezpieczny dom. Wiem, że potrafię odwdzięczyć się z nawiązką. Chętnie zamieszkam też z innym, odważnym pieskiem, który pomoże mi poczuć się pewniej. Mogę być zbyt energiczny dla kotów i małych dzieci, ale nie ma we mnie ani odrobiny agresji. Mam około 3 lat, ważę 14 kg i jestem wykastrowany.

About Zimno

What life with Zimno looks like

Zimno is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at GRUPA RATUJ Wrocław in Poland.

An young 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 Zimno, answered.

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