Summary of "To koniec, dziękuję"

Overview

The creator made an early road trip to deliver 50 insulated animal kennels to several shelters and rescue groups (about 4–6 stops in one day). This was the final episode of the daily series and a highly emotional, hands-on day visiting shelters for the first time.

The trip required coordination with a local carpentry shop, volunteers, firefighters and other contacts. There were logistical hiccups (a trailer/boxes getting stuck and needing extra help to unload), but the deliveries were completed.

What was done / Travel highlights

Picked up and delivered 50 custom kennels/boxes for cats and dogs to multiple shelters and associations around Toruń and nearby towns in one long day.
Shelter stops included:
- Toruń municipal shelter (Zielone Pole)
- Green Field near Toruń
- Brodnica shelter
- Lidzbark (Lidzbark Brodnica area)
- Smaller local groups and associations (Kowalewo Pomorskie, Grudziądz area, Zbójno)
Local volunteers, firefighters and staff helped unload and place kennels; some sites lacked easy vehicle access (muddy ground, required tractor/off-road assistance).
Emotional moments: meeting many dogs and cats, hearing shelter stories (severe rescues, long-term traumatized animals like Telma), and the creator’s decision to stop buying dogs and encourage shelter adoption.

Kennel / Product details

50 kennels were provided in various sizes and tailored to each shelter’s needs. Key construction and design features:

3 cm styrofoam insulation
Double-layer wooden boards (inner and outer layers)
Hinged opening roof for easy cleaning and access
PVC curtain at the entrance to retain heat and protect from weather
Built for long life, easy maintenance, and suitability for shelters and community cat feeding stations
Some kennels were two-tone and branded with the channel’s (Mua) color/logo

Shelter realities & animal stories

Toruń has a very large community cat population — estimates around 12,000–15,000 feral/community cats — and active sterilization/feeding networks (Kot Foundation, hospice volunteers).
Typical shelter activities include rescue and medical treatment, temporary/foster placements for kittens, and pre- and post-adoption checks.
Notable animal stories:
- Phoenix — a severe injury case that recovered
- Telma — traumatized from a prior shelter placement and still wary
- Many adoptable dogs with a wide range of needs and personalities
Observations: shelters vary in resources and infrastructure. Some are modern and well-equipped, others operate with limited means and many barking dogs. Volunteers often make large personal sacrifices (round-the-clock work, extensive paperwork, seasonal preparations).

Advice, tips and practical points

Ways to help shelters

Donate needed items: kennels, blankets, rugs, money
Volunteer: walk dogs, socialize animals, help with transports and collections
Foster: temporarily take young or recovering animals out of shelter space
Adopt (don’t buy): prioritize shelter animals when looking for a pet
Support local sterilization programs to reduce feral populations

Typical adoption process (common shelter steps)

Fill out a questionnaire
Interview with shelter staff
If there are existing pets, arrange introduction walks/get-to-know steps
Home checks for gardens/fences when applicable
Sign treatment/sterilization contracts if the animal hasn’t been spayed/neutered yet

Pet ownership caveats

Don’t get a dog if you travel constantly or can’t provide daily time and attention; ensure household members can share care duties
Two dogs can sometimes be easier than one (they entertain and exercise each other)

Allergy note

“Hypoallergenic” breeds (e.g., Yorkies) may shed less fur, which can reduce allergen-carrying material; however many allergies are caused by secretions that adhere to fur rather than fur itself

Practical kennel features to prioritize (when buying or building for shelters)

Insulation (thermal protection)
Easy cleaning access (hinged top or similar)
Weather protection (PVC curtain or equivalent)
Durable materials and long lifespan

Food & lifestyle notes

The crew ate poorly during the trip (gas-station snacks, store-bought pizza) and later tried a local pizzeria.
Pizzeria Bona (Sierpc) details:
- Pizzas priced around 31–33 PLN; sauces ~3 PLN
- Option for fluffy or thin dough
- Some pizzas had lots of cheese and a drier crust if no tomato sauce was used
Other local eateries mentioned: kebab/burger spots such as Planet Left Bank and Lesiak — included as light touring-eats commentary.

Emotional takeaway

Visiting shelters had a strong impact on the creator — seeing many homeless animals up close led to a vow to avoid buying dogs and to encourage viewers to help shelters through donations, volunteering, fostering, walking dogs or adopting. Even small actions (visiting, walking, donating) make a meaningful difference.
