Arion

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Arion, a male dog born in 2016. Arion is a medium-sized, curly-coated little dog. When he first came to us, he was somewhat matted and neglected. Unfortunately, we don’t know how long he had been wandering around on his own. He therefore needed some minor grooming procedures, which he endured quite bravely. Luckily, we managed to get him into good shape. Arion is very friendly, and we haven’t noticed any aggression toward people. With his caregivers, the dog is truly docile—though he doesn’t always obey. However, it quickly became clear that he can’t live with other dogs, as he doesn’t tolerate them at all. In his new home, he’ll need to be an only dog. We haven’t tested his reaction to cats yet, but we suspect it might be similar. Above all, Arion doesn’t like being confined to a kennel. As soon as he’s let out into the exercise yard, he makes the most of it. He runs around and charges about like crazy and has no intention of stopping. He gets so carried away that he becomes impossible to catch, and you just have to wait until he’s exhausted himself and calms down. To take even the simplest photos of him, we had to keep him on a leash—after he’d already burned off all his energy. He’s used to space and freedom, and it will be especially hard for him to adjust to living in a shelter kennel. That’s why we’re looking for the best possible home for him—a home with access to a yard where he’d always have plenty of room to release his energy. We’d like to find caring owners who’ll never abandon him and will take good care of him in every situation. Arion is dewormed, flea-treated, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Arion, pies urodzony w 2016r. Arion to średnich rozmiarów kudłaty psiaczek. Kiedy do nas trafił był nieco zakołtuniony i zaniedbany. Nie wiemy niestety jak długo błąkał się na wolności. Konieczne były zatem lekkie zabiegi pielęgnacyjne, które znosił całkiem dzielnie. Na szczęście udało nam się go doprowadzić do porządku. Arion jest bardzo przyjacielski i nie zauważyliśmy aby wykazywał jakąkolwiek agresję w stosunku do ludzi. Przy opiekunach psinka naprawdę jest uległa, chociaż nie zawsze się słucha. Natomiast bardzo szybko okazało się że nie może przebywać z innymi psami gdyż ich nie toleruje. W nowym domu musi być jedynakiem. Nie sprawdzaliśmy jego reakcji na koty, ale podejrzewamy że może być podobnie. Arion przede wszystkim nie lubi być zamknięty w boksie. Kiedy tylko wychodzi na wybieg wykorzystuje go w pełni. Biega i szarżuje jak szalony i nie ma zamiaru się zatrzymywać. Wpada wtedy w taki amok że nie sposób go złapać i trzeba poczekać aż się wybiega i uspokoi. Żeby zrobić mu jakiekolwiek zdjęcia konieczne było trzymanie go na smyczy, już po całym wyładowywaniu energii. On był przyzwyczajony do przestrzeni, wolności i tym bardziej będzie mu ciężko przyzwyczaić się do mieszkania w schroniskowym boksie. Dlatego szukamy mu najlepiej domu z możliwością wyjścia na podwórko gdzie miałby zawsze teren do rozładowywania swojej energii. Chcemy znaleźć dla niego troskliwych właścicieli którzy go nigdy nie porzucą i zajmą się nim w każdej sytuacji. Arion jest odrobaczony, odpchlony, zaszczepiony, zaczipowany i wykastrowany.

About Arion

What life with Arion looks like

Arion is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) 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 Arion, answered.

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