Nolo

Male · Adult · 8 years

Nolo spent most of his young life in an animal shelter. He is a cute red fox with sad, hazel eyes. The animal shelter overwhelms him and he really does not like being there. Most often he stands by the bars waiting for something to happen. In the conditions of the shelter, this is his only joy and relief - a walk. Outside the crate Nolo comes alive. He loves long, calm strolls and taking in all the scents of this world. In the forest, he is a wonderful observer of nature, he notices every moving creature, whether on the ground or high in the branches of trees. He also loves digging holes chasing voles. Sometimes he would like to play, run with a stick, or just lie in the grass without being chased. Walks are never as long as he would like. He forgets then about all his sorrows, stresses and can show how much grace and joy he has within him, despite the trauma he experienced after being returned to the animal shelter. Perhaps too often physical force was used against him; he cowers at the sight of a raised hand with a stick, reacts badly to attempts to limit his space and to being held. We dream of finally Nolo finding his place on earth by the side of a person who will soothe his frayed nerves, give him peace and a sense of security. Nolo needs stable conditions in a quiet area. He can communicate with other dogs and could live with canine siblings. We do not recommend him for a home with children. In the crate Nolo keeps it tidy, does not destroy anything. To get to know him better and build a relationship, I recommend more walks and a visit before adoption.

Nolo większość swojego młodego życia spędził w schronisku. To uroczy rudzielec o smutnych, orzechowych oczach. Schronisko go przytłacza i bardzo nie lubi tu być. Najczęściej stoi przy kratach czekając na to, co w. warunkach schroniskowych jest jedyną jego radością i wytchnieniem – na spacer. Poza boksem Nolo rozkwita. Uwielbia długo, spokojnie przechadzać się i wdychać wszystkie zapachy tego świata. W lesie jest wspaniałym obserwatorem przyrody, dojrzy każde poruszające się stworzenie, czy to na ziemi, czy wysoko w gałęziach drzew. Uwielbia też kopać dołki ścigając nornice. Czasem chciałby pobawić się, pobiegać z patykiem, albo nie poganiany poleżeć w trawie pogryzając jakieś znalezisko. Spacery, nigdy nie są tak długie, jakby chciał. Zapomina wtedy o wszystkich swoich smutkach, stresach i potrafi pokazać ile ma wdzięku i jakie pokłady radości w nim tkwią, mimo traumy jaką przeżył po zwrocie do schroniska. Być może zbyt często stosowano wobec niego przemoc; kuli się na widok podniesionej z patykiem ręki, źle reaguje na próby ograniczania jego przestrzeni i przytrzymywanie.. Marzymy o tym, żeby wreszcie Nolo znalazł swoje miejsce na ziemi u boku człowieka, który ukoi jego skołatane nerwy, podaruje mu spokój i poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Nolo potrzebuje stabilnych warunków w spokojnej okolicy. Potrafi komunikować się z innymi psami i mógłby zamieszkać z psim rodzeństwem. Nie rekomendujemy go do domu z dziećmi. W boksie Nolo zachowuje porządek, nie niszczy. Aby poznać go lepiej i zbudować relację polecamy większą liczbę spacerów oraz wizytę przed adopcyjną. Ania 663033529 Małgosia 509274112

About Nolo

What life with Nolo looks like

Nolo is a medium-sized 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. 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.

Note from the shelter: Trauma history, fear of raised hands, needs gentle handling and quiet environment

🇵🇱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 Nolo, answered.

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