Maksiu

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Maksiu is about a 2-year-old boy who came to us with his brother Pluto from Borowo, gmina Krzymów, after the death of his owner. It was a huge blow for them - they lost not only their home but also their beloved person. The beginning at the animal shelter was very difficult. The dogs were very stressed and afraid of the leash, which they had never known before. Every walk was a challenge for them. However, thanks to patience and hard work, they made progress. Today Maksiu and Pluto walk beautifully on walks and really do well on the leash.

Maksiu to około 2-letni chłopak, który trafił do nas ze swoim bratem Pluto z miejscowości Borowo, gm. Krzymów, po śmierci swojego właściciela. To dla nich był ogromny cios – stracili nie tylko dom, ale i ukochanego człowieka. Początki w schronisku były bardzo trudne. Psiaki były mocno zestresowane, bały się smyczy, której wcześniej nigdy nie znały. Każdy spacer był dla nich wyzwaniem. Dzięki cierpliwości i ciężkiej pracy zrobili jednak postępy. Dziś Maksiu i Pluto pięknie chodzą na spacery i naprawdę świetnie radzą sobie na smyczy. To

About Maksiu

What life with Maksiu looks like

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

An young 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 Maksiu, answered.

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