How do I contact the shelter about Alex?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alex on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alex if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Alex 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 Alex 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 Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alex 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.

Alex

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello, I'm Alex! I was born in June 2015. I am a small dog with a friendly disposition and quite a big personality. I really like people and enjoy making contact with them. I am friendly but also have my own character. For years I lived together with my dog dad who is a West Highland White Terrier. Unfortunately, the shelter conditions proved difficult for us and we couldn't get along, so now we live separately. I love walks and I happily go on every stroll. I enjoy getting to know new smells and enjoying time spent together with humans. With other dogs I can be a bit stubborn, which is why future introductions with dog friends should take place calmly and carefully. Currently, due to the lack of neutering, I sometimes mark my territory in the box. Soon I will have a neutering procedure. I am vaccinated and dewormed. If you are looking for a small dog with character who will be a faithful companion on daily walks and shared moments, come meet me. Maybe I'm waiting just for you.

Cześć, jestem Alex! Urodziłem się w czerwcu 2015 roku. Jestem niewielkim psiakiem o sympatycznym usposobieniu i całkiem sporej osobowości. Bardzo lubię ludzi i chętnie nawiązuję z nimi kontakt. Jestem przyjazny, ale mam też swój charakter.Przez lata mieszkałem razem ze swoim psim tatą, który jest rasy West Highland White Terrier. Niestety schroniskowe warunki okazały się dla nas trudne i nie potrafiliśmy się ze sobą dogadać, dlatego obecnie mieszkamy osobno.Uwielbiam spacery i z radością wychodzę na każdą przechadzkę. Chętnie poznaję nowe zapachy i cieszę się wspólnie spędzonym czasem z człowiekiem.W stosunku do innych psów bywam charakterny, dlatego przyszłe zapoznania z psimi towarzyszami powinny przebiegać spokojnie i z rozwagą.Obecnie, z uwagi na brak kastracji, zdarza mi się znaczyć teren w boksie. Wkrótce czeka mnie zabieg kastracji.Jestem zaszczepiony i odrobaczony.Jeśli szukasz niewielkiego psa z charakterem, który będzie wiernym towarzyszem codziennych spacerów i wspólnych chwil, przyjdź mnie poznać. Być może właśnie na Ciebie czekam.

About Alex

What life with Alex looks like

Alex is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.

🇵🇱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.
