Fabian

Mixed Breed · Male

FABIAN - My name is Fabian. I don't know what you expect from me. I don't know how to behave, so I pretend that I'm not here… Not long ago, I didn't have anyone. I don't know if I ever had a home or if someone loved me, or if I was just a shadow in someone's life. When I arrived here, the world was too loud, too fast, too strange. I was afraid of every movement, every sound. But slowly, very slowly, I'm learning that not everyone is bad. I won't rush to you, I won't jump onto your lap. I need time. I need quiet, warmth, and someone who won't force me to close the distance. If you give me a chance, maybe one day I'll approach you. Maybe one day I'll believe that I'm worth something. Only will someone like that be found? The company of other dogs, especially confident ones, influences me positively. I learn from them how I should behave, I observe their reactions. I also want to be brave and confident… Unfortunately, due to an old injury, I lost a leg, but it doesn't hinder my daily functioning. Fabian because of the lack of a leg should live somewhere with few stairs or with an elevator. dog takes medication for the thyroid. ul.

FABIAN - Nazywam się Fabian. Nie wiem, czego ode mnie oczekujesz. Nie wiem jak się zachowywać, więc udaję, że mnie nie ma… Jeszcze niedawno nie miałem nikogo. Nie wiem, czy kiedykolwiek miałem dom, czy ktoś mnie kochał, czy byłem tylko cieniem w czyimś życiu. Kiedy tu trafiłem, świat był dla mnie zbyt głośny, zbyt szybki, zbyt obcy. Bałem się każdego ruchu, każdego głosu. Ale powoli, bardzo powoli uczę się, że nie wszyscy ludzie są źli.Nie przybiegnę od razu, nie wskoczę Ci na kolana. Potrzebuję czasu. Potrzebuję ciszy, ciepła i kogoś, kto nie będzie na siłę próbował skracać dystansu. Jeśli dasz mi szansę, może któregoś dnia sam do Ciebie podejdę. Może któregoś dnia uwierzę, że jestem coś wart. Tylko czy ktoś taki się znajdzie? Dobrze wpływa na mnie towarzystwo innych psiaków, najlepiej takich pewnych siebie. Uczę się od nich jak powinienem się zachowywać, podpatruje ich reakcje. Też chciałbym być taki odważny i pewny siebie… Niestety ze względu na stary uraz, straciłem jedną łapkę, ale nie przeszkadza mi to w codziennym funkcjonowaniu. Fabian ze względu na brak łapki powinien mieszkać gdzieś, gdzie nie ma dużo schodów, lub jest winda. Psiak przyjmuje leki na tarczycę. ul.

About Fabian

What life with Fabian looks like

Fabian is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Kielce in Kielce.

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 Fabian, answered.

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