Bailey

Male · Adult · 6 years

Bailey had a difficult start at the animal shelter. He was afraid of us, and we of him. Amazingly, over time he turned out to be a pleasant, subtle, rational, and devoted dog. His eyes, once full of sadness, are now "Disney-like" - as if created to tell a story without words. Bailey is calm, not pushy, has refined manners. He loves walks at a tourist-philosopher pace, very willingly in the company of other dogs. His calm energy greatly influences other dogs. This balanced temperament does not prevent him from occasionally falling into a playful mood, jumps, teasing - he would really appreciate a companion for such antics. This is a dog who has his own opinion on matters important to him, but is open to compromises for the sake of the relationship with the caregiver. Properly guided, he avoids cars and cyclists. He knows how to ride in a car, wear a muzzle, and handle vet visits and grooming, although he fears baths as much as the devil fears holy water. He curiously looks into all rooms, and his favorite is the adoption office - as if nurturing hope under his skin that someone will finally come and sign this most important document for him: adoption. Bailey is looking for caregivers experienced in handling large dogs, familiar with canine communication, and able to provide appropriate conditions such as: a house with free access to a garden, a quiet place to rest, regular walks in an interesting area, good diet, and supplementation. - Temperament: calm, not pushy, subtle, but cautious toward strangers - Relationship with children: rather for those older than 15 years - With dogs: positive, assertive - With cats: interested, but calm - Residence:

Bailey miał trudny start w schronisku. On bał się nas, a my jego. Niesamowite, bo z czasem okazał się być psem przyjemnym, subtelnym, racjonalnym i oddanym. Jego oczy dawniej przepełnione smutkiem, dziś są takie „disneyowskie” – jakby stworzone, by opowiadać historię bez słów. Bailey jest spokojny, nienachalny, ma wytworne maniery. Uwielbia spacery w tempie turysty-filozofa, bardzo chętnie w psim towarzystwie. Swoją spokojną energią Bailey wyśmienicie wpływa na inne psy. To wyważone usposobienie nie przeszkadza mu od czasu do czasu wpaść w nastrój iście zabawowy, podskoki, zaczepki – bardzo by mu się przydał kompan do takich harcy. To pies, który ma swoje zdanie w ważnych dla niego kwestiach, ale jest otwarty na ustępstwa dla dobra relacji z opiekunem. Odpowiednio prowadzony, odpuszcza samochodom i rowerzystom. Zna jazdę samochodem, kaganiec, obsługę u weterynarza i pielęgnację, choć kąpieli boi się jak diabeł wody święconej. Z ciekawością zagląda do wszystkich pomieszczeń, a jego ulubione, to biuro adopcji – jak by pod skórą pielęgnował nadzieję, że wreszcie ktoś przyjdzie i podpisze ten najważniejszy dla niego dokument: adopcję. Bailey poszukuje opiekunów z doświadczeniem w opiece nad dużym psem, znających psią komunikację oraz mogących zapewnić odpowiednie warunki, jak: dom ze swobodnym dostępem do ogrodu, zaciszne miejsce odpoczynku, regularne spacery w ciekawej okolicy, dobra dieta i suplementacja. - Usposobienie: spokojny, nienachalny, subtelny, ale nieufny w stosunku do obcych - Stosunek do dzieci: raczej powyżej 15 lat - Do psów: pozytywny, asertywny - Do kotów: zainteresowany, ale spokojny - Zamieszkanie: dom z ogrodem Kasia 608616990 Agnieszka 693141535

About Bailey

What life with Bailey looks like

Bailey is a extra-large adult dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Fearful of baths, needs patient handling

🇵🇱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 Bailey, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bailey?
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 Bailey on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bailey 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 Bailey 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 Bailey 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 Bailey 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.
