Adopt Nimbus

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Nimbus, a dog born in January 2013. Nimbus is a trouble-free senior dog. When he arrived at our shelter, he made a positive impression and was well-adjusted to the external world. It soon became clear that Nimbus is blind, although he masked it well and managed quite well. He can even walk on a leash quite well, with his caregiver simply guiding him to avoid bumping into things. For his age, he is currently in pretty good condition; his appetite is good, and he doesn’t require any medication. His weight of just under 23 kilograms is already optimal for him. Nimbus is a docile dog, values the company of his caregivers, and always waits to be petted and given some time. From a distance, he listens to see if anyone approaches to take him for a walk. Nimbus has learned to walk cautiously in the yard and is good at finding his way around. He’s not particularly interested in other dogs; he prefers the company of his own. Exceptionally, dogs that are pushy and invite him to play do not respond well to him. He quickly shows his dissatisfaction with this, and we believe that Nimbus should be more alone, ideally in the company of a very calm and gentle dog who can maintain an appropriate distance and is not pushy. Additionally, Nimbus is not an annoying dog; he is truly quiet, doesn’t destroy anything, and maintains cleanliness in his kennel to a reasonable extent. An animal shelter is definitely not the place for him, and it’s clear that the sooner Nimbus finds a new home, the better. Finding him a good and safe home might not be easy, but we won’t give up. If someone is able to take in this honest senior, we would appreciate contact. Nimbus is heartworm-free, de-clawed, vaccinated, and neutered.

Nimbus, pies urodzony w styczniu 2013r. Nimbus to niekłopotliwy psi senior. Kiedy do nas przyjechał sprawiał pozytywne wrażenie i był dobrze nastawiony do świata zewnętrznego. Szybko okazało się, że Nimbus jest niewidomy, chociaż dobrze się maskował bo radził sobie całkiem dobrze. Potrafi nawet nieźle chodzić na smyczy, opiekun musi jedynie go trochę kierować żeby się z czymś nie zderzył. Jak na swoje lata jest obecnie w niezłej kondycji, apetyt mu dopisuje i na nic się nie leczy, a jego waga wynosząca niecałe 23 kilogramy jest już optymalna dla niego. Nimbus jest uległym psiakiem, ceni sobie towarzystwo opiekunów i zawsze czeka żeby go pogłaskać i poświęcić mu chociaż trochę czasu. Z daleka wysłuchuje czy ktoś do niego się nie zbliża i nie zabierze go na wybieg. Nimbus nauczył się ostrożnie spacerować po wybiegu i dobrze się tam odnajduje. Nie specjalnie interesują go inne psy, raczej woli wyłącznie swoje towarzystwo. Wyjątkowo nie odpowiadają mu psy które zaczepnie zapraszają go do zabawy, kiedy on nie chce żeby mu przeszkadzano. Szybko potrafi pokazać swoje niezadowolenie z tego powodu, sądzimy więc że Nimbus powinien być raczej sam, ewentualnie w towarzystwie bardzo spokojnej suni, która umie utrzymywać odpowiedni dystans i nie jest nachalna. Poza tym Nimbus nie należy do uciążliwych psów, on jest naprawdę cichy, nic nie niszczy i w miarę utrzymuje czystość w swoim boksie. Na pewno schronisko to nie jest miejsce dla niego i oczywistym jest że im szybciej Nimbus znajdzie nowy dom tym lepiej. Można się spodziewać że znalezienie mu dobrego i bezpiecznego domu nie będzie łatwe, ale i tak się nie poddamy. Jeśli ktoś byłby w stanie przygarnąć tego poczciwego seniora do siebie to prosimy o kontakt. Nimbus jest odrobaczony, odpchlony, zaszczepiony, zaczipowany i wykastrowany.

About Nimbus

What life with Nimbus looks like

Nimbus is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nimbus, answered.

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