Delfinek

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Delfinek came to us on 12/23/2023 from the area of Wierzbinek. His piercing, sad look captured in a photo from the day of his arrival at the animal shelter caused many emotions. Unfortunately, so far no one has decided to take Delfin in. He is a very social dog who loves people. He can be quick and scattered. He is simply so happy that he cannot stop. But when someone starts to pet him, he can politely stand and accept the next round of pets. Delfinek is currently being treated for his eyes at a specialist clinic. We want him to regain at least 10% of his vision. We are starting to see slight progress, but there is still a long way to go. The guy gets along with dogs, but because of his blindness, he may bump into them, which can cause conflicts in the case of an unkind dog. Delfinek is already neutered and ready to find his home. It can also be a so-called lifetime Temporary Home, where the animal shelter helps with medical issues, purchasing medicine, etc., and the dog enjoys his own home by the side of a loving owner, whose care our support will make easier.

Delfinek trafił do nas 23.12.2023r. z terenów gm. Wierzbinek. Jego przeszywający, smutny wzrok uchwycony na zdjęciu z dnia przyjęcia do schroniska wzbudził wiele emocji. Niestety do tej pory nikt nie zdecydował się przygarnąć Delfinka. To bardzo towarzyski psiak, który uwielbia ludzi. Bywa szybki i roztrzepany. Po prostu tak się cieszy, że nie może się zatrzymać. Ale kiedy zacznie się go głaskać, potrafi grzecznie stać przyjmując na siebie kolejne porcje głasków. Delfinek jest w trakcie leczenia oczu w przychodni specjalistycznej. Chcemy, żeby odzyskał chociaż 10% wzorku. Zaczynamy dostrzegać delikatne postępy, ale nadal długa droga przed nami. Chłopak dogaduje się z psami, ale z racji swojej ślepoty może na nie wpadać, co w przypadku mało wyrozumiałego psa może rodzić konflikty. Delfinek jest już wykastrowany i gotowy czeka na swój dom. Może to być również tzw. dożywotni Dom Tymczasowy, w którym schronisko pomaga w kwestii medycznej, zakupu leków itp., a psiak cieszy się swoim domkiem u boku kochającego właściciela, któremu nasze wsparcie ułatwi opiekę.

About Delfinek

What life with Delfinek looks like

Delfinek is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Konin in Poland.

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.

🇵🇱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 Delfinek, answered.

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