Roni

Male · Senior · 11 years

Beautiful and dignified Roni knows well what it means to have bad luck! Everything seemed to be going well, until suddenly, when he was about a year old, he was taken straight from the sofa to a kennel run, and that was the end of his home life... After 10 years of working as a company guard, he was entitled to a well-earned retirement, but instead, he ended up in a shelter's pen. We hope this is not the last stop for Roni - we are counting on fate to smile once again at him. Especially since Roni has a hunger for life! Surprisingly, despite his age, he is healthy and in excellent shape. Recently, we took him for his first walk in 10 years! Roni was overjoyed and fascinated, absorbing every scent, observing the world, enjoying a glimpse of freedom. From this, we conclude that Roni has plans to travel and explore - in other words, he has a taste for an active retirement! So we are looking for a two-legged companion who will help this older gentleman realize his life plans. Roni would like to live a quiet, countryside life - preferably away from the city's noise. A garden might come in handy in case his joints start aching with old age. At the moment, we don't know how he gets along with other animals, but we should take into account that Roni lived a life with very few good experiences, so it's possible he doesn't always know how to behave. At the same time, it's clear that he is a very clean dog, keeps his pen tidy, doesn't destroy his bed, walks well on a leash, considering the long break, and is restrained in expressing his emotions. Does Roni deserve a home for his autumn years? Absolutely yes! Please give him a chance!

Piękny i dostojny Roni wie dobrze co to życiowy pech! Wszystko dobrze się zapowiadało, aż tu nagle gdy miał ok. roku prosto z kanapy trafił do kojca i to było na tyle w kwestii domowego życia… A po 10-ciu latach pracy jako firmowy stróż na zasłużoną emeryturę trafił… do schroniskowego boksu. Mamy nadzieję, że to nie jest ostatni przystanek Roniego - liczymy na to, że szczęście jeszcze się do niego uśmiechnie. Zwłaszcza, że Roni ma apetyt na życie! O dziwo, mimo wieku jest zdrowy i w świetnej formie. Ostatnio zabraliśmy go na pierwszy od 10-ciu lat spacer! Roni był przeszczęśliwy i zafascynowany chłonął każdy zapach, obserwował świat, rozkoszował się namiastką wolności. Stąd nasz wniosek, że Roni ma plany na wędrowanie i zwiedzanie - słowem, ma chrapkę na aktywną emeryturę! Szukamy mu więc dwunożnego kompana, który pomoże zrealizować starszemu psiemu panu życiowe plany. Roni chciałby wieść życie spokojne, sielankowe - najlepiej z dala od wielkomiejskiego zgiełku. Pewnie przydałby się ogród na wypadek, gdyby jednak zaczęło łamać go w kościach na stare lata. Na ten moment nie znamy jego stosunku do innych zwierząt, ale należy mieć na względzie, że Roni żył życiem bardzo ubogim w dobre doświadczenia, więc możliwe, że nie zawsze będzie wiedział, jak się zachować. Jednocześnie widać, że jest psem bardzo czystym, utrzymuje porządek w boksie, nie niszczy swojego legowiska, na smyczy chodzi całkiem dobrze, jak na tak długą przerwę i jest powściągliwy w wyrażaniu emocji. Czy Roni zasługuje na dom na jesień życia? Absolutnie tak! Prosimy, daj mu szansę!

About Roni

What life with Roni looks like

Roni is a large senior dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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.

Note from the shelter: Senior dog needs quiet environment away from city noise, would benefit from yard access

🇵🇱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 Roni, answered.

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