Bąbel

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 17 years

To all people of good will who love old dogs! Depression is taking away Bąbł. These are his last years, maybe months... Let's not let him fade away alone! We are urgently looking for a home for Bąbł! Bąbel had one person his whole life. An older man who loved him more than anything, despite his own homelessness. They lived on the street together, survived cold, hunger, and loneliness together. The man never forgot about Bąbł: he gave him medicine, took care of him, made sure he was clean and safe. He was well cared for, loved, and important... even though his caregiver had nothing himself. Unfortunately, the man died on February 1st. He froze to death. Bąbel stayed by his side until the very end. He didn't let anyone approach. As if guarding the last thing that was left to him - his person. Today, Bąbel is fading... His life has completely changed and he can't accept it. He walks around our premises as he used to with his caregiver, looking for him... His home was always a person. When the person was gone, his whole world collapsed. Bąbel is 17 years old, sick, has problems with his spine, and all the ailments of an old dog. He spends most of his time sleeping, but he really likes to walk. He would do well in a house with a garden.

Do wszystkich ludzi dobrej woli, którzy kochają stare psy! Depresja zabiera nam Bąbla. To jego ostatnie lata, może miesiące… Nie pozwólmy, by zgasł samotnie! Pilnie szukamy domu dla Bąbla! Bąbel przez całe życie miał jednego człowieka. Starszego pana, który – mimo własnej bezdomności – kochał go ponad wszystko. Razem mieszkali na ulicy, razem przetrwali zimno, głód i samotność. Pan nigdy nie zapomniał o Bąblu: podawał mu leki, dbał o niego, pilnował, by był czysty i bezpieczny. Był zadbany, kochany i ważny… mimo że jego opiekun sam nie miał nic. Niestety, 1 lutego pan zmarł. Zamarzł z zimna. Bąbel czuwał przy nim do samego końca. Nie pozwalał nikomu podejść. Jakby pilnował ostatniego, co mu zostało – swojego człowieka. Dzisiaj Bąbel gaśnie… Jego życie zmieniło się całkowicie i on nie może się z tym pogodzić. Chodzi po naszym terenie tak ja dotychczas chodził ze swoim opiekunem, szuka go… Jego domem był zawsze człowiek. Gdy zabrakło człowieka, runął mu cały świat. Bąbel ma 17 lat, jest schorowany, ma problemy z kręgosłupem i wszystkie dolegliwości starszego psa. Większość czasu przesypia, ale bardzo lubi chodzić. Świetnie odnajdzie się w domu z ogrodem.

About Bąbel

What life with Bąbel looks like

Bąbel 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bąbel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bąbel?
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 Bąbel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bąbel 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bąbel 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 Bąbel 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 Bąbel 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.
