Trufel

Male · Senior · 13 years

Trufel is a beautiful and well-built dog. He is an introvert, does not like excessive affection, can communicate this with a warning growl, and if we do not respect it, he may try to go further. However, he is not an aggressive dog, neither towards people nor other dogs! On the contrary, he loves dogs and gets along great with them. He loves walks, walks very nicely on a leash, follows his caregiver. Although he is focused on exploring everything around him and sniffing new scents, he beautifully responds to human commands. He is cautious towards people he doesn't know, but when he gains your trust, he will give you full devotion and loyal, dog love in return. Trufel likes to sleep, loves to eat, and adores toys :). It would be ideal if he could live in a house with a garden, but he would also cope in an apartment. He is not a overly affectionate type, we don't recommend him for a home with small children. Relationship with his first promotional action - Kopa Cwila :) On Sundays Trufel went on his first promotional action outside the animal shelter! He probably never rode in a car or bus before. He probably was never on a walk in a city park. And he managed it as if he had considerable experience in all of this (the training and soiling his aunt's car seats did not go in vain 😃). During the action itself, Trufel received a lot of compliments, posed for photos, sniffed in the grass and snow, made new acquaintances, and really enjoyed the moment outside the box. Trufi needs a moment to trust a person, but once he does, on the way back from the action he loads himself onto his knees to better see the world around him 😍. A world without bars. We are asking for a chance for Trufi! He has been waiting for this one, special person for a long time already!

Trufel to piękny i ukształtowany już pies. To typ introwertyka, nie lubi nadmiernej czułości, potrafi to zakomunikować ostrzegawczym warknięciem, a jeśli tego nie będziemy respektować, może próbować pójść dalej. Nie jest jednak psem agresywnym, ani w stosunku do ludzi, ani do psów! Wręcz przeciwnie, uwielbia psy i rewelacyjnie się z nimi dogaduje. Uwielbia spacery, bardzo ładnie chodzi na smyczy, podąża za swoim opiekunem. Mimo, że jest skupiony na poznawaniu wszystkiego, co go otacza i wąchaniu nowych zapachów, pięknie reaguje na polecenia człowieka. Wobec nieznanych mu osób jest ostrożny, ale kiedy już zdobędzie się jego zaufanie, dostanie się w zamian pełne oddanie i wierną, psią miłość. Trufel lubi spać, kocha jeść i uwielbia zabawki :). Idealnie by było, gdyby mógł zamieszkać w domu z ogrodem, ale w mieszkaniu w bloku też sobie poradzi. Nie jest typem nadmiernego pieszczocha, nie polecamy go do domu z małymi dziećmi. Relacja z jego pierwszej akcji promocyjnej - Kopa Cwila :) W niedziele Trufel wybrał się na swoją pierwszą akcję promocyjną poza schronisko! Prawdopodobnie nigdy wcześniej nie jechał ani autem, ani autobusem. Prawdopodobnie nie był nigdy na spacerze w miejskim parku. A poradził sobie tak, jakby miał w tym wszystkim niemałe doświadczenie (ćwiczenia i brudzenie ciotce siedzeń w samochodzie nie poszły na marne 😃). Podczas samej akcji Trufel zbierał masę komplementów, pozował do zdjęć, węszył w trawie i śniegu, zawierał nowe znajomości i naprawdę cieszył się z chwil poza boksem. Trufi potrzebuje chwili, żeby zaufać człowiekowi, ale jak już zaufa to w drodze powrotnej z akcji ładuje się na kolana, żeby lepiej widzieć otaczający Go świat 😍. Świat bez krat. Bardzo prosimy o szansę dla Trufla! Już bardzo długo czeka na tego jednego, wyjątkowego człowieka!

About Trufel

What life with Trufel looks like

Trufel is a medium-sized 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: Senior dog requiring patient owner who respects boundaries

🇵🇱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 Trufel, answered.

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