Adopt Cukier

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 11 years

Cukier came to us after the death of his caretaker. He is nice and gentle with people, easily allows petting and touching, but for now he doesn't really ask for petting. He is a dog - like a yorkie :) - rather calm, stable and not very vocal. More interested in dogs, and very positively. Currently lives in the kennel with a female dog, but also gets along well with males. We think he could live in a home with another calm pet. Cukier has met cats, but wasn't sure what to think about them. Probably this relationship could also be worked out. Cukier is afraid of riding in a car, but tolerates it when with a person, he doesn't vomit. In new places, in apartments he is calm, confident and interested. Cukier - due to health problems - cannot walk up stairs, so he is looking for a ground floor house, with an elevator or with a caregiver who will be able to carry him (he allows being lifted). Cukier came to us in poor health and must take medication on a permanent basis. His future caregivers must be ready to provide him with good veterinary care. During the adoption process, you can get current information about Sugar's health from the shelter veterinarians.

Cukier trafił do nas po śmierci opiekunki. Jest miły i łagodny do ludzi, bez problemu pozwala się głaskać i dotykać, ale sam na razie nie prosi zbytnio o głaskanie. Jest pieskiem – jak na yorka :) – raczej spokojnym, stabilnym i mało szczekliwym. Bardziej niż ludźmi zainteresowany jest psiakami, i to bardzo pozytywnie. W boksie mieszka obecnie z suczką, ale dobrze dogaduje się też z samcami. Sądzimy, że mógłby zamieszkać w domu z innym spokojnym zwierzakiem. Cukier spotkał się z kotami, ale nie wiedział do końca, co o nich myśleć. Prawdopodobnie ta relacja też byłaby do wypracowania. Cukier boi się jeździć samochodem, ale w towarzystwie człowieka znosi to, nie wymiotuje. W nowych miejscach, w mieszkaniach jest spokojny, pewny siebie i zainteresowany. Cukier – ze względu na problemy zdrowotne - nie może chodzić po schodach, więc szuka domu na parterze, z windą albo z opiekunem, który będzie w stanie go nosić (pozwala się podnosić). Cukier trafił do nas w złym stanie zdrowia i musi przyjmować na stałe leki. Jego przyszli opiekunowie muszą być gotowi na zapewnienie mu dobrej opieki weterynaryjnej. W trakcie procesu adopcyjnego można uzyskać aktualne informacje o stanie zdrowia Cukra od schroniskowych weterynarzy.

About Cukier

What life with Cukier looks like

Cukier is a small senior yorkshire terrier 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: Cannot use stairs due to health problems, requires permanent medication, needs ground floor housing or elevator access, requires ongoing veterinary 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 Cukier, answered.

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