BORIS

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

B ORIS 18668 (POA) – SENIOR – male dog, neutered, geb. ca. 2016, shoulder height ca. 56-58cm With BORIS we will be receiving another older dog who seems to be calm, balanced/controlled. He walks well on a leash, but he does not initiate contact with us on his own. It seems to us as if he lets our cuddles pass over him, but the caretaker confirms that he is never aggressive. A dog who does not expect much from people, maybe also not much attention in his previous life. One would like to shake him awake. I wish for him a quiet place, time to settle in, and people who can show him how beautiful the world can be. (04/2026, B/C)

B ORIS 18668 (POA) – SENIOR – Rüde, kastriert, geb. ca. 2016, Schulterhöhe ca. 56-58cm Mit Boris wird uns ein weiterer älterer Hund gebracht, der ruhig, ausgeglichen/abgeklärt zu sein scheint. Er läuft gut an der Leine, aber er nimmt von sich aus keinen Kontakt zu uns auf. Uns kommt es vor, als wenn er unsere Streicheleinheiten über sich ergehen lässt, dabei ist er aber nie aggressiv, wie die Pflegerin bestätigt. Ein Hund, der nicht viel von Menschen erwartet, vlt. auch in seinem bisherigen Leben nicht viel Ansprache erfahren hat. Man möchte ihn wachrütteln. Ich wünsche ihm einen ruhigen Ort, Zeit, anzukommen und Menschen, die ihm einfühlsam zeigen, wie schön die Welt sein kann. (04/2026, B/C)

About BORIS

What life with BORIS looks like

BORIS is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Polen in Dierkshausen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting BORIS, answered.

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