Baltazar

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 16 years

Baltazar found a home at the our shelter dog shelter, discovered near the Orlen station in Milanówka in mid-December 2023. He materialized there suddenly, seemingly from nowhere and for no apparent reason. Perhaps he was abandoned, or maybe he got lost. For the first few days of his stay at the animal shelter, he almost never stopped sleeping in the warmth. When he thawed out, he began to slowly explore his surroundings, taking short walks, sniffing around, and getting to know new people. Baltazarek had a look of sadness and resignation in his eyes. He seemed to no longer expect anything good from fate. He didn’t understand what had happened to him or why he found himself homeless on the streets. However, someone found him and gave Baltazar a temporary home. There, he is being restored to health and vitality. Baltazar is a dog who is beginning to live in his own world. He is deaf. His ears were in a really bad condition and were treated by an ear specialist. He also visited an orthopedist, who gave him injections in his joints and spine to help strengthen his already weak legs. All the veterinary procedures Baltazar underwent were done with great courage and calmness. With his temporary caregiver, Baltazar goes to work, to the office. In the car, he is a model passenger, and at the office, a model employee 😊. On the day Baltazar arrived at the animal shelter, he was assessed at 16 years old. Now, he needs stability, peace, and love for the rest of his life. We are looking for a permanent home for him, a home without other animals. Baltazar does not find his place in their company.

Baltazar stareńki psiak, znaleziony przy stacji Orlen w Milanówku w połowie grudnia 2023r. Zmaterializował się tam nagle, nie wiadomo skąd i nie wiadomo dlaczego. Być może został porzucony, może się zabłąkał. Przez pierwsze dni pobytu w schronisku prawie bez przerwy spał w cieple. Kiedy odtajał zaczął powolutku rozglądać się wokół, wychodzić na niezbyt dalekie spacery, węszyć i poznawać nowe osoby. Baltazarek miał w oczach smutek i rezygnację. Robił wrażenie, że nie spodziewa się już nic dobrego od losu. Nie rozumiał co go spotkało i dlaczego znalazł się bezdomny na ulicy. Znalazł się jednak ktoś, kto dał Baltazarowi dom tymczasowy. Jest tam przywracany do zdrowia i sprawności. Baltazar jest psem, który już troszkę żyje we własnym świecie. Niedosłyszy. Zostały wyleczone jego uszy – były naprawdę w złym stanie. Odwiedził okulistę, została pobrana krew i wyniki były przyzwoite. Baltazar odwiedził również ortopedę. Dostał zastrzyki w stawy i w kręgosłup, aby wspomóc troszkę jego i tak już słabe łapki. Wszystkie zabiegi weterynaryjne Baltazar zniósł bardzo dzielnie i ze spokojem. Ze swoją tymczasową opiekunką Baltazar jeździ do pracy, do biura. W samochodzie jest wzorowym pasażerem, a w biurze wzorowym pracownikiem 😊 Baltazar w dniu, w którym znalazł się w schronisku został oceniony na 16 lat. Teraz potrzebuje nade wszystko stabilizacji, spokoju i miłości na swoją jesień życia. Szukamy dla niego domu stałego. Domu w którym nie ma innych zwierząt. Baltazar nie odnajduje się w ich towarzystwie.

About Baltazar

What life with Baltazar looks like

Baltazar is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Bezdomnych Zwierząt w Milanówku 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 Baltazar, answered.

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