How do I contact the shelter about Lewis?

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 Lewis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lewis 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 Lewis 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 Lewis 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 Lewis 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.

Adopt Lewis

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Lewis arrived at the animal shelter on September 18, 2018, was wandering on Gajowa Street in Konin, possibly someone threw him out near the animal shelter. He had a red collar. However, no one claimed him. Lewis is distant in the first contact, it's the person who has to work for his trust. BUT it is possible, if someone gets to know him he allows being touched, he is happy and friendly. A great bond can be formed with him, but it requires work. This is not a dog for everyone, but for responsible, devoted people with a heart. That's why we are looking for a special home. The dog has a lot of unused energy, needs walks, he is a real volcano of energy. He is greedy, easily bribed. He reacts differently to other dogs, rather has a negative attitude. Perhaps in the future he might accept another companion. Those willing to take the dog will certainly be supported by our knowledge. Someone who wants to take him must be aware that he must first get to know him, therefore introductory walks are recommended. Only a few people in the animal shelter can take him for walks. It requires a proper approach.

Lewis trafił do schroniska 18 września 2018 roku, błąkał się po ulicy Gajowej w Koninie, być może ktoś wyrzucił go w okolicach schroniska. Miał na sobie czerwoną obrożę. Nikt się jednak po niego nie zgłosił. Lewis w pierwszym kontakcie jest zdystansowanym psem, to człowiek musi zapracować sobie na jego zaufanie. ALE to możliwe, jeśli kogoś pozna daje się dotykać, cieszy się, jest radosny i przyjacielski. Można nawiązać z nim super więź, ale wymaga to pracy. To nie pies dla każdego, a dla odpowiedzialnych, pełnych poświęceń ludzi z sercem. Dlatego szukamy domu szczególnego. Psiak ma w sobie sporo nie spożytej energii, potrzebuje spacerów, to prawdziwy wulkan energii. Jest łakomy, łatwo go przekupić. Na inne pieski reaguje różnie, raczej ma negatywne nastawienie. Być może w przyszłości zaakceptował by drugiego towarzysza. Chętnych zabrać psiaka na pewno wspomożemy naszą wiedzą. Ktoś kto zechce go zabrać musi być świadomy, że musi go najpierw poznać, dlatego spacerki zapoznawcze są wskazane. W schronisku jest tylko garstka ludzi, którzy mogą brać go na spacery. Wymaga odpowiedniego podejścia.

About Lewis

What life with Lewis looks like

Lewis is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Konin in Poland.

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.

🇵🇱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.
