Gondor

Male · Adult · 6 years

🆘URGENTLY NEEDING A HOME🆘 Gentlemen and ladies, we appeal with a pleading request for a home for this wonderful large dog. The animal shelter and stay behind bars is not a place for a dog requiring individual care, and such care is what Gondor needs to be surrounded by. Urgently, we must find a loving home for him that will take care of his diet, comfort, and health. Gondor doesn't know he is sick. Diagnosis? Chronic kidney disease - the words that make everyone avert their gaze, pass by his box, scroll past adoption listings. This is the hardest part - instead of a wonderful, affectionate, warm, and gentle dog, everyone sees the disease. And Gondor doesn't know or understand why - why the phone is silent and everyone looks away. Gondor still looks with the same gentle gaze, still enjoys the sight of anyone who offered him a moment of time, a kind word, a warm touch. And he would most gladly lie down at someone's feet and sleep with the feeling that here he is in a safe haven - by someone's side whom he can trust. Gondor doesn't ask for much - his (and ours) dreams are simple: a home, a soft bed, a patch of grass, and a person who won't be scared off by the diagnosis. He is 6 years old, a sweet mister, loves walks, and is still an active dog, but most loves to lounge and nap in the company of people. Due to the need to monitor his health status post-adoption, we offer financial support as part of the Foundation Friends of Palucha's actions. If you have a place for Gondor in your home and heart - don't hesitate! Call, let's talk!

🆘PILNIE SZUKAM DOMU🆘 Szanowni Państwo, zwracamy się z błagalną prośbą o dom dla tego wspaniałego wielkopsa. Schronisko i pobyt za kratami to nie miejsce dla psa wymagającego indywidualnej opieki, a taką właśnie opieką potrzebuje być otoczony Gondor. Pilnie, na już musimy mu znaleźć kochający dom, który zadba o dietę, komfort życia i zdrowie. Gondor nie wie, że jest chory. Diagnoza? Przewlekła choroba nerek - słowa, które sprawiają, że wszyscy odwracają od niego wzrok, mijają jego boks, scrollują dalej ogłoszenia adopcyjne. To najbardziej boli - że zamiast wspaniałego, czułego, pełnego ciepła i łagodności psa każdy widzi chorobę. A Gondor nie wie i nie rozumie, czemu tak jest - czemu telefon milczy i każdy spuszcza wzrok. Gondor wciąż patrzy tym samym łagodnym wzrokiem, wciąż cieszy się na widok każdego, kto ofiarował mu chwilę czasu, dobre słowo, ciepły dotyk. I najchętniej położyłby się u czyichś stóp i zasnął w poczuciu, że oto jest w bezpiecznej przystani - u boku kogoś, komu może zaufać. Gondor nie prosi o wiele - jego (i nasze) marzenia są proste: dom, miękkie posłanie, kawałek trawy i człowiek, który nie przestraszy się diagnozy. Ma 6 lat, jest przemiłym misiem, lubi spacery i nadal jest aktywnym psem, ale najbardziej lubi wylegiwać się i drzemać w towarzystwie ludzi. Ze względu na konieczność monitorowania jego stanu zdrowia po adopcji oferujemy wsparcie finansowe w ramach działań Fundacji Przyjaciół Palucha. Jeśli mają Państwo dla Gondora miejsce w swoim domu i w sercu - nie wahajcie się! Zadzwońcie, porozmawiajmy!

About Gondor

What life with Gondor looks like

Gondor is a large adult dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Possible joint issues/arthritis, fear of leashes

🇵🇱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 Gondor, answered.

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