Demon

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Demon is a young dog who was born in July 2023. He has had a tough life so far and has been through many experiences. On July 11, 2025, he was taken to the shelter after an intervention. For some time, he wandered around the stairwell until he was secured and brought to the shelter. The same day, his caregiver came for him and took him home. Unfortunately, later on, he was given to a woman who only intended to keep him for a short while. It turned out that she didn't know his whole story. On August 8, 2025, he ended up back in the shelter. He was very thin and neglected. Although he is young, he can't play like a typical dog of his age. It's as if someone took away his carefree childhood. He is cautious and a bit withdrawn. He likes human contact but still learns to trust people. He needs patience, calmness, and a caregiver who will show him that the world doesn't have to be scary. Sometimes he barks at strangers, especially when he feels insecure. He gets along well with children he has already met and accepted. I know there is still a lot of work ahead of me, but I believe I can make it with the right person. On June 23, 2026, I needed help again. For over a week, I was alone at home without any care. I was secured by shelter workers and other services with the assistance of the police. My vaccinations and deworming are up to date, and soon I will have my castration procedure. I am looking for a home where I can slowly open up and regain trust in people. I dream of a place where I can finally feel safe and never be alone again. Maybe it's with you?

Cześć! Mam na imię Demon. Urodziłem się w lipcu 2023 roku i choć jestem jeszcze młodym psiakiem, życie już zdążyło mnie mocno doświadczyć.Po raz pierwszy trafiłem do schroniska 11 lipca 2025 roku po interwencji. Przez jakiś czas błąkałem się po klatce schodowej, aż zostałem zabezpieczony i przewieziony do schroniska. Jeszcze tego samego dnia odebrał mnie mój opiekun i wróciłem do domu.Niestety, później zostałem przekazany kobiecie, u której miałem zostać tylko na chwilę. Okazało się, że nie znała całej mojej historii. 8 sierpnia 2025 roku ponownie trafiłem do schroniska. Byłem bardzo wychudzony i zaniedbany.Choć jestem młody, nie potrafię bawić się jak typowy psiak w moim wieku. Jakby ktoś odebrał mi beztroskie dzieciństwo. Jestem ostrożny i trochę wycofany. Lubię kontakt z człowiekiem, ale wciąż uczę się, że mogę mu zaufać. Potrzebuję cierpliwości, spokoju i opiekuna, który pokaże mi, że świat nie musi być straszny.Zdarza mi się szczekać na obcych, zwłaszcza wtedy, gdy czuję się niepewnie. Dobrze odnajduję się przy dzieciach, które już poznałem i zaakceptowałem. Wiem, że przede mną jeszcze sporo pracy, ale wierzę, że z odpowiednim człowiekiem dam sobie radę.23 czerwca 2026 roku ponownie potrzebowałem pomocy. Przez ponad tydzień przebywałem sam w domu, bez opieki. Zostałem zabezpieczony przez pracowników schroniska przy asyście Policji i innych służb.Mam aktualne szczepienia i odrobaczenia, a wkrótce czeka mnie również zabieg kastracji.Szukam domu, w którym będę mógł powoli się otworzyć i odzyskać zaufanie do ludzi. Marzę o miejscu, w którym wreszcie poczuję się bezpiecznie i już nigdy nie zostanę sam. Może to właśnie u Ciebie?

About Demon

What life with Demon looks like

Demon is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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 Demon, answered.

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