Adopt Conan

Husky · Male · Senior · 10 years

Imagine living your whole life without ever experiencing a single smile, a gram of love or compassion, no one ever hugged you, praised you... 🥺 This was the life of Conan before he came to the animal shelter. 💔 A place that is a nightmare for many, turned out to be a salvation for him. Despite being very hurt by people, he still knows how to enjoy. It's safe to say he has plenty of energy, so every walk is a valuable lesson for him in controlling his emotions. Due to his explosive character, he was initially underestimated, but constant work with him and the motivation of volunteers showed that he is a wonderful dog, just like any other resident of the animal shelter needs to be petted and hugged. It's hard to believe that a dog who not long ago didn't pay attention to humans and just pulled forward (and he definitely has the strength) can now stop, sniff a flower, and eat a sausage. Conan yearns for human contact - it's visible when he approaches and wants to be hugged or get a proper scratch. ❤️ However, despite great progress, the road ahead for his new owner is long and requires countless hours of work. Therefore, for our ward, we are looking for an experienced guide, with knowledge about behavioral issues, as well as familiarity with the breed. Conan gets along with other dogs - he will certainly fit in a group of other dogs, such as huskies. 🐺 Conan is definitely not a good choice as a first husky, nor for a home with cats and children.

Wyobraź sobie, że przez całe życie nie zaznałeś/aś ani jednego uśmiechu, grama miłości czy współczucia, nikt nigdy Cię nie przytulił, nie pochwalił… 🥺 Takie właśnie życie miał Conan zanim trafił do schroniska. 💔 Miejsce, które dla wielu jest koszmarem, dla niego okazało się wybawieniem. Pomimo, że Conan został bardzo skrzywdzony przez ludzi, nadal potrafi się cieszyć. Śmiało można powiedzieć, że ma aż nadto energii, dlatego każdy spacer to cenna lekcja dla niego, jak panować nad emocjami. Przez swój wybuchowy charakter został na początku niedoceniony, jednak ciągła praca z nim i motywacja wolontariuszy pokazały, że jest cudownym psem, który tak samo jak każdy inny mieszkaniec schroniska potrzebuje, żeby go pogłaskać i przytulić. Aż ciężko uwierzyć, że pies, który jakiś czas temu nie zwracał uwagi na człowieka i tylko ciągnął przed siebie (a siły również mu nie brakuje) potrafi się zatrzymać, powąchać kwiatek i zjeść parówkę. Conan łaknie kontaktu z człowiekiem - widać to gdy podchodzi i pragnie się przytulić lub otrzymać porządne głaski. ❤️ Jednak mimo ogromnych postępów, przed nowym właścicielem długa droga i niezliczone godziny pracy. Dlatego dla naszego podopiecznego poszukujemy doświadczonego przewodnika, z wiedzą na temat problemów behawiorystycznych, jak i samą znajomością rasy. Conan dogaduje się z innymi psami -z pewnością dogada się w stadzie innych psów, np. północniaków. 🐺 Conan na pewno nie jest dobrym wyborem na pierwszego psa rasy północnej, ani do domu z kotami i dziećmi.

About Conan

What life with Conan looks like

Conan is a large senior husky 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: Behavioral rehabilitation needed due to past trauma and abuse

🇵🇱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 Conan, answered.

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