How do I contact the shelter about Tarzan?

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

Can I adopt Tarzan 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 Tarzan 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 Tarzan 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 Tarzan 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.

Tarzan

Male · Adult · 6 years

Tarzan is one of those dogs to whom the shelter has given a chance at a better life. It was here that he went for his very first walk and met other dogs. It was here that he stepped into water for the first time and saw frogs in the pond. Everything was new to him and sparked immense excitement. Today? It’s routine. And that’s fine, too—but we feel it’s still a bit too little... That Tarzan deserves more than spending his entire life in a kennel. Tarzan is a dog who was cruelly hurt by humans. They stole his childhood and youth, deprived him of experiences living among both people and dogs, and then abandoned him like a broken toy that just barks behind bars. We see in him a wounded young pup—and we also recognize that with calmness and routine, much can be achieved to give this poor dog a chance at a normal life. We’re looking for someone who can care for a dog requiring special attention. Tarzan has never lived in a home, as he was written off by his own family right from the start. He’d prefer to live in a quiet area where he can take long, peaceful walks outdoors. Before he goes to his forever home, his future human should get to know him well here at the shelter during joint walks, because Tarzan is one of those dogs who needs plenty of time and a gradual introduction to new things.

PL·Show original

Tarzan jest jednym z tych psów, którym schronisko dało szansę na lepsze życie. To tu pierwszy raz w życiu poszedł na spacer i spotkał się z psami. Tu pierwszy raz wszedł do wody i zobaczył żaby w stawie. Wszystko było dla niego nowe i wzbudzało ogromne emocje. Dziś? Rutyna. Też dobrze, ale mamy poczucie, że jednak to trochę za mało… Że Tarzan zasługuje na więcej niż całe życie w budzie. Tarzan to pies, którego ludzie skrzywdzili okrutnie. Zabrali mu dzieciństwo i młodość, pozbawili doświadczeń funkcjonowania w świecie ludzi i psów, a potem porzucili jak zepsutą zabawkę, która tylko szczeka przez kraty. My widzimy w nim skrzywdzonego dzieciaka i widzimy też, że spokojem, rutyną da się wiele zdziałać, by ten biedny pies miał szansę na normalne życie. Szukamy człowieka, który potrafi zaopiekować się psem wymagającym szczególnego traktowania. Tarzan nigdy nie mieszkał w domu, bowiem przez własną rodzinę został skreślony już na samym starcie. Najchętniej zamieszka w cichej okolicy, gdzie można chodzić na długie spokojne spacery w plenerze, a zanim pojedzie do swojego domu jego człowiek powinien dobrze się z nim poznać tu w schronisku na wspólnych spacerach, bo Tarzan należy do tych, którzy potrzebują dużo czasu i stopniowego wprowadzania nowości.

About Tarzan

What life with Tarzan looks like

Tarzan is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Requires quiet rural environment, extensive socialization, and patient experienced handler due to history of neglect and chain confinement

🇵🇱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.
