Czesław

Male · Senior · 10 years

Czesław is a small, talkative and very intelligent puppy, with many strengths and few weaknesses. Czesio has been waiting for a home for 5 years and has had a sad experience of being returned after adoption. He is a sensitive and emotional dog, and in situations that are stressful for him (new places, new people, new situations), he may show his teeth towards people he does not know. At the same time, he communicates very well if he feels uncertain. For Czesio, we are looking for a caregiver who has experience with dogs and will be able to read the signals sent by the dog. We are looking for a patient person who will not give up when facing minor setbacks. Czesio really wants to have a home, he is focused on people, eager to learn and obey commands. He is a wonderful dog, and once he trusts, he will repay with great love and attachment. He loves long walks and swimming. It will take time to build a relationship with Czesio during walks, so adoption will be possible after several visits to the animal shelter and to the home. Czesio would be best as an only dog. Due to his more demanding character, Czesław will need a greater number of introductory walks than specified in the adoption procedure, as well as a home visit.

Czesław to nieduży, komunikatywny i bardzo inteligentny piesek, z wieloma zaletami i nielicznymi wadami. Czesio czeka na dom od 5 lat i ma za sobą smutne doświadczenie zwrotu z adopcji. Jest psem wrażliwym i emocjonalnym, w sytuacjach dla niego stresujących (nowe miejsca, nowi ludzie, nowe sytuacje), w stosunku do obcych mu osób, może pokazać zęby. Jednocześnie świetnie komunikuje, jeżeli czuje się niepewnie. Dla Czesia szukamy opiekuna, który ma doświadczenie z psami, będzie umiał odczytywać sygnały wysyłane przez psa. Szukamy osoby cierpliwej, która nie podda się, gdy napotka na drobne niepowodzenia. Czesio bardzo chce mieć dom, jest skupiony na człowieku, chętnie się uczy i słucha poleceń. Jest wspaniałym psem, który jak już zaufa to odpłaci wielką miłością i przywiązaniem. Uwielbia długie spacery i kąpiele wodne. Potrzebny będzie czas, aby zbudować relację z Czesiem na spacerach, więc adopcja będzie możliwa po kilku wizytach w schronisku i w domu. Czesio najlepiej czułby się jako jedynak. W związku z bardziej wymagającym charakterem, Czesław będzie, potrzebował większej ilości spacerów zapoznawczych, niż ta określona w procedurze adopcji, jak również wizyty domowej.

About Czesław

What life with Czesław looks like

Czesław is a medium-sized senior 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: Requires gradual introduction process with multiple visits before adoption due to anxiety and previous adoption return

🇵🇱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 Czesław, answered.

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