Rem

Male · Senior · 11 years

Rem as a German Shepherd is very smart, alert, and energetic. He loves long walks and would like to spend as much time on them as possible rather than returning to the animal shelter. He enjoys car rides, but he also finds his way in public transportation. Rem has opened up to new human friendships, can form a close bond, and be a very loyal and faithful friend. He has trusted us and we trust him. He would be best off living in a house with a garden (it's not a requirement) because in apartment buildings with many dogs, walks can be burdensome. Rem does not tolerate other dogs; he must live without other four-legged animals. We will definitely not give him to a kennel, he likes being among people and living in warmth. For him, home is a home without small children, he is a dog for a person who can handle walks with a strong dog. We have shown him that life with people and outside of bars is good, but it also has its downsides, because now he suffers. He misses people all day long while sitting alone and desperately does not want to return to the animal shelter. We are aware that adopting Rem will be a bigger challenge for someone, but it will save the rest of his life! Such a dog gives twice his unconditional love, and our lives will never be the same again. They will be better and more complete! More information with the volunteers.

Rem jak na owczarka niemieckiego przystało jest bardzo mądrym, bystrym i energicznym psem :-) Uwielbia długie spacery i chciałby spędzać na nich jak najwięcej czasu by tylko nie wracać do schroniska. Kocha podróże samochodem, ale odnajduje się też w komunikacji miejskiej. Rem otworzył sie na nowe ludzkie znajomości , potrafi nawiązać bliską więź i być bardzo oddanym i wiernym przyjacielem. Zaufał nam a my jemu. Najlepiej gdyby Rem zamieszkał w domu z ogrodem, (nie jest to wymóg ) gdyż w osiedlowych mieszkaniach przy dużej ilości psów spacery mogą być uciążliwe. Rem nie toleruje innych psów, musi mieszkać bez innych czworonogów. Zdecydowanie nie wydamy go do budy, lubi być wśród ludzi i mieszkać w cieple. Dom dla niego to dom bez małych dzieci, jest psem dla osoby, która poradzi sobie na spacerach z silnym psem. Pokazaliśmy mu, ze życie z ludźmi i poza kratami jest dobre, ale ma to i złe strony, bo teraz cierpi... Tęskni całymi dniami siedząc sam i za wszelką cenę nie chce wracać do schroniska. Jesteśmy świadomi, że adopcja Rema będzie dla kogoś większym wyzwaniem, ale to uratuje mu resztę życia! Taki pies oddaje dwukrotnie swoją bezwarunkową miłością, a nasze życie już nigdy nie będzie takie samo. Będzie lepsze i pełniejsze! Więcej informacji u wolontariuszy.

About Rem

What life with Rem looks like

Rem is a large senior dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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.

Note from the shelter: Cannot live with other dogs or small children, needs strong handler for walks

🇵🇱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 Rem, answered.

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