Borysek

Male · Adult · 7 years

Borysek came to the animal shelter straight from a warm couch and a loving home. No one let him down - his caretaker was affected by an illness that took away her ability to care for her beloved dog. The shelter noise, the cold crate - all of this is not for him and makes him feel insecure. Borysek is a delicate, a bit shy and very well-mannered guy, and he remains calm during walks. Meeting other dogs does not cause him any difficulties. He also likes to run around and play, and at the same time, he walks beautifully on a leash. Borysek really needs human closeness - he gladly approaches for petting, hugging and contact. This is a dog who is truly looking for relationships, tenderness and a sense of security. We warmly invite you to meet our wonderful Borys - perhaps he is waiting just for you. Volunteers:

Borysek trafił do schroniska prosto z ciepłej kanapy i kochającego domu. Nikt go nie zawiódł – jego opiekunkę dotknęła choroba, która odebrała jej możliwość opieki nad ukochanym psem. Schroniskowy hałas, zimny boks – to wszystko nie jest dla niego i sprawia, że czuje się niepewnie. Borysek jest delikatnym, trochę nieśmiałym i bardzo grzecznym chłopakiem, a spacerach zachowuje spokój. Mijanie innych psów nie sprawia mu żadnych trudności. Lubi też chwilę pobiegać i pobawić się, a przy tym pięknie spaceruje na smyczy. Borysek bardzo potrzebuje bliskości człowieka — chętnie podchodzi po głaskanie, przytulanie i kontakt. To pies, który naprawdę szuka relacji, czułości i poczucia bezpieczeństwa. Zapraszamy serdecznie do poznania naszego cudownego Boryska — być może czeka właśnie na Ciebie.

About Borysek

What life with Borysek looks like

Borysek is a medium-sized 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. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet environment due to shelter anxiety

🇵🇱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 Borysek, answered.

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