How do I contact the shelter about Baloo?

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 Baloo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Baloo 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 Baloo 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 Baloo 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 Baloo 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.

Baloo

Male · Senior · 9 years

If you are looking for the perfect, loving dog, you have come to the right place. Baloo fully meets these criteria! He is walking love. A oasis of calm and gentleness. We feel that Balloo only needs human closeness to be happy. He loves to approach, snuggle in, and simply enjoy a shared moment. We don't know what Baloo's life was like before. He arrived at us in poor condition - with significant obesity, a tragic coat, and worn elbows. He had a collar, which makes us believe he had a home. What it was and why he lost it - remains a mystery for us. Despite his size, Baloo is extremely gentle. He walks beautifully on a leash and you don't feel his weight or size at all. He walks calmly and slowly. He completely ignores other dogs. On walks, he only looks for people from whom he could get some affection. Baloo needs a home where he will gain peace and proper care in his old age. He doesn't dream of anything else but people on whom he could pour his entire great amount of love. Come and meet our little one!

Jeśli szukasz idealnego, pełnego miłości psa, to świetnie trafiłeś. Baloo w pełni spełnia te kryteria! To chodząca miłość. Oaza spokoju i łagodności. Mamy wrażenie, że Balloo do szcześcia potrzebuje wyłącznie bliskości człowieka. Uwielbia podejść, wtulić się i po prostu cieszyć się wspólną chwilą. Nie wiemy, jak wyglądało wcześniej życie Baloo. Przyjechał do nas w kiepskiej formie - z ogromną nadwagą, sierścią w tragicznym stanie i pościeranymi łokciami. Miał na sobie obrożę, co pozwala wierzyć, że miał dom. Jaki i dlaczego go stracił - to pozostaje dla nas zagadką. Pomimo swoich rozmiarów, Baloo jest niezwykle delikatny. Pięknie chodzi na smyczy i w ogóle nie odczuwa się jego wagi i wielkości. Spaceruje spokojnie i powolutku. Inne pieski zupełnie ignoruje. Na spacerach tylko wypatruje ludzi, od których mógłby uzyskać trochę czułości. Baloo potrzebuje domu, w którym zyska spokój i godną opiekę na stare lata. Nie marzy o niczym innym, jak o ludziach, na których mógłby przelać cały ogrom swojej miłości. Zapraszamy do poznania naszego Maluszka!

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo 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 requiring calm environment and gentle care for his golden years
