Argos

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

The worst thing that can happen to a dog is to lose the person who was his whole world. Argos is 9 years old. His beloved owner passed away, and with him, everything that was familiar and safe for Argos disappeared. And yet, Argos still has so much love to give. He is a 9-year-old dog who gets along with other dogs and loves children. He doesn't need much. His own corner, quiet walks, a warm bed, and a human being by his side to make him feel at home again. We know he is 9 years old. We know he is not a small, cute puppy that everyone will fight for. But does that mean he deserves less? Should his age mean he's no longer eligible to sleep peacefully, knowing someone loves him? We beg you, don't let Argos' story end in loss. Somewhere, there is a person who could open the door for him and say, "Come, Argos. From now on, you are home. You don't have to worry about anything." Maybe they won't have 11 years together. Maybe their journey together will be shorter than they both would have liked. But for Argos, even one year in a loving home will be more valuable than the longest time spent alone. We are looking for a home for Argos that won't write him off for his age. A home that will give him a chance at one more love. The last one, peaceful, safe, and forever. Please, share. Let his story reach the person who will change his fate.

Najgorsze, co może spotkać psa, to stracić człowieka, który był całym jego światem. Argos ma 9 lat. Jego ukochany właściciel odszedł, a razem z nim zniknęło wszystko, co było dla Argosa znajome i bezpieczne. A przecież Argos wciąż ma tyle miłości do podarowania. To 9-letni pies, który dogaduje się z innymi psami i lubi dzieci. Nie potrzebuje wiele. Własnego kąta, spokojnych spacerów, ciepłego posłania i człowieka, przy którym znów poczuje, że jest u siebie. Wiemy, że ma już 9 lat. Wiemy, że nie jest małym, słodkim szczeniakiem, o którego domy będą się biły. Ale czy to oznacza, że zasługuje na mniej? Czy jego wiek ma przekreślić szansę na to, by jeszcze kiedyś zasypiał spokojnie, wiedząc, że obok jest ktoś, kto go kocha? Błagamy, nie pozwólmy, by historia Argosa zakończyła się na stracie Gdzieś jest przecież człowiek, który mógłby otworzyć przed nim drzwi i powiedzieć: „Chodź, Argos. Od dziś jesteś u siebie. Już nie musisz się o nic martwić”. Może nie będzie miał z nim kilkunastu lat. Może ich wspólna droga będzie krótsza, niż oboje by chcieli. Ale dla Argosa nawet jeden rok w kochającym domu będzie miał większą wartość niż najdłuższy czas spędzony w samotności. Szukamy dla Argosa domu, który nie skreśli go za wiek. Domu, który da mu szansę na jeszcze jedną miłość. Tę ostatnią, spokojną, bezpieczną i na zawsze. Prosimy, udostępnijcie. Niech jego historia dotrze do człowieka, który odmieni jego los.

About Argos

What life with Argos looks like

Argos is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Argos, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Argos?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Argos on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Argos if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Argos 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 Argos 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 Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Argos 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.
