Borys

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

The story of Borys during the summer lost his home. The home that was originally his third foster home, which had come a long way to eventually become a permanent home. Unfortunately, after about 3 years together, Borys reacted very badly to the new baby. We met Boris a few years ago, exactly Gabriela, when she was traveling with her grandmother on vacation. The boy was wasting away on certain plots around Warsaw. His destiny was to bark, scare, and vegetate. Such a job. Not him first, not last. But not everyone will have such a huge impact. Boris's story is long and complicated. Many people along the way fell in love with him, many wanted to give him a piece of themselves, but not everyone was meant for Boris. A dog who has developed controlling behaviors, in whose belief it is necessary to monitor the surroundings of the caregiver, to watch him, even if the situation does not require it at all. Despite all this, Borys is extremely intelligent, sensitive, and social. He loves his people more than anything. Although sometimes this love causes him problems. And it's not that Borys doesn't accept strangers, he does accept them 🙂 The situation was an emergency. I deeply believe that there is someone out there who has the competence to relieve Boris of the responsibility of protecting the caregiver and controlling the surroundings. Someone who wisely sets boundaries for him, gives him a sense of security, and fulfills his needs.

Historia Borys w wakacje stracił dom. Dom który pierwotnie był jego trzecim DT, który przeszedł długą drogę, żeby ostatecznie zostać domem stałym. Niestety po około 3 latach bycia razem, Borys bardzo źle zareagował na nowonarodzone dziecko. Borysa poznaliśmy lata temu, dokładnie poznałango Gabrysia, jeżdżąc z babcią na wakacje. Marniał chłopak na pewnych działkach w okolicach Warszawy. Jego przeznaczeniem było być, szczekać, odstraszać, wegetować. Taka robota. Nie on pierwszy nie ostatni. Nie na każdego jednak będzie to miało tak ogromny wpływ. Historia Borysa jest długa i kręta. Wiele osób po drodzę się w nim zakochało, wiele osób chciało podarować mu kawałek siebie, ale nie wszyscy zostali stowrzeni dla Borysa. Psa który ma rozwinięte zachowania kontrolujące, w którego przeświadczeniu trzeba monitorować okolice wkoło opiekuna, pilnować go, nawet jeśli zupełnie sytuacja tego nie wymaga. Przy tym wszystkim Borys jest szalenie inteligentny, czuły, towarzyski. Kocha swoich ludzi ponad wszystko. Chociaż bywa, że ta miłość sprawia mu kłopoty. I to też nie tak, że Borys nie akceptuje obcych, owszem akceptuje 🙂 Sytuacja była emergency. Głęboko wierzę, że jest gdzieś człowiek, który ma kompetencje, żeby zdjąć z Borysa odpowiedzialność chronienia opiekuna i kontrolowania otoczenia. Kogoś kto mądrze wyznaczy mu granice, da poczucie bezpieczeństwa i spełni jego potrzeby. Bo to jest pies który ma wiele fajnych pomysłów na to jak spędzać czas, tylko te pomysły trzeba dobrze ulokować 🙂

About Borys

What life with Borys looks like

Borys is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Zwierzęca Polana in Warszawa.

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 Borys, answered.

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