How do I contact the shelter about ALVIN?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALVIN on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ALVIN if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) 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 ALVIN 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 ALVIN 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 Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALVIN and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

in the type of American Bully, 7 years old. Appearance: steel grey, with white markings, very large. Temperament: under evaluation. Health: major orthopedic problems, prior to amputation of the leg. Place of residence: dog hotel, Warsaw. Contact for adoption: 501 797 018, 02.05.2024 ALVIN has already undergone the amputation of the hind leg. The operation was successful, we have already received our brave little Alvin from the clinic. Because Alvin is newly post-operative, and the image of the dog after the amputation, shaved for the procedure, with fresh stitches, may be extremely difficult for some, we have decided that during his recovery period we will not "shock" people with this view. We constantly warmly ask you to send our Alvin lots of good thoughts. We know we have taken on something extremely difficult and controversial. But... you know us, we take on the impossible if we see the sense in it with our veterinary doctors. 15.05.2024 Our brave three-legged Alvin timidly reminds that he is still looking for a temporary home. Due to his orthopedic issues, we are looking for a house with a garden for Alvin. If you can help us care for him, create a loving temporary home, respond via email: Our temporary homes are fully supported in the treatment and maintenance of the dog. We managed to check Alvin at the dog park, he shows no aggression, but he will feel better at home as an only pet. You can also adopt Alvin virtually, give him support on his warrior's journey. 10.03.2025 On Men's Day we would like to remind you of our exceptional male ward, the three-legged Alvin. We dream of him having his own home, even if it's just temporary. And in it, what is most important for a homeless dog - caring people every day. ALVIN is a large, very friendly dog for people. Due to his orthopedic issues and being a three-legged dog, we are looking for a house with a garden for him. This sweet teddy bear will not climb stairs. Literally. We recommend Alvin as a single pet. He is not aggressive towards dogs, but can be too forward. Currently, Alvin is housed in a dog hotel in Grójce. He is looking for a permanent home throughout Poland, and a temporary home in Warsaw or surroundings, we are on site to support and guide. Would you like to talk about adopting Alvin? Reply to us: 501 797 018 or by email: If you are thinking about creating a temporary home for him, we are waiting for your message here: Our temporary homes are fully supported in the maintenance and treatment of the dog.

Operacja powiodła się, odebraliśmy już naszego dzielnego niunia z lecznicy. Ponieważ Alvinek jest świeżo po operacji, a obraz psa po amputacji łapy, wygolonego do zabiegu, ze świeżymi szwami, może być dla niektórych niezwykle trudny, dlatego zdecydowaliśmy, że przez okres jego rekonwalescencji nie będziemy „szokować” tym widokiem. Nieustannie gorąco Was prosimy, abyście słali naszemu Alvinkowi ogrom dobrych myśli. Wiemy, że podjęliśmy się rzeczy szalenie trudnej i kontrowersyjnej. Ale… znacie nas, podejmujemy się rzeczy niemożliwych, jeżeli tylko wraz z naszymi lekarzami weterynarii widzimy sens działania. 15.05.2024 Nasz dzielny trójłapek, Alvinek nieśmiało przypomina, że rozgląda się nadal za domem tymczasowym. Z uwagi na jego ortopedię szukamy dla Alvina domku z ogrodem. Jeśli możesz pomóc nam opiekować się nim, stworzyć troskliwy dom tymczasowy, odezwij się na maila: Nasze domy tymczasowe obejmujemy pełnym wsparciem w leczeniu i utrzymaniu psa. Udało nam się sprawdzić Alvina do psiaków, nie wykazuje agresji, jednak w domu lepiej będzie się czuł, będąc jedynakiem. Alvina możesz także objąć adopcją wirtualną, podarować mu wsparcie w jego drodze wojownika. 10.03.2025 W Dzień Mężczyzny chcielibyśmy Wam przypomnieć o naszym wyjątkowym męskim podopiecznym, trójłapku Alvinie. Marzy nam się, aby i on miał swój dom, choćby ten tymczasowy. A w nim, to, co dla bezdomnego psa najważniejsze - bliskich ludzi na co dzień. Alvin jest wielkogabarytowym, mega miłym dla ludzi psem. Z uwagi na ortopedię i fakt bycia trójłapkiem, szukamy dla niego domu z ogrodem. Wspinania się po schodach ten słodki misiak nie dźwignie. Dosłownie. Zalecamy Alvina jako zwierzęcego jedynaka. Nie jest do psów agresywny, ale bywa zbytnio nachalny. Obecnie Alvinek zakwaterowany jest w hoteliku dla psów k. Grójca. Domu stałego szuka w całej Polsce, a tymczasowego w Warszawie lub okolicy, tu jesteśmy na miejscu aby DT wspierać i pilotować. Chcesz porozmawiać o adopcji Alvina?

About ALVIN

What life with ALVIN looks like

ALVIN is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) in Poland.

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.

🇵🇱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.
