Adopt Amik

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Amik is a wonderful stuffed bear in size 25XL. Very hurt by life, rather by people. Before coming to us, he spent more than 3 years locked up in a small concrete kennel. He was considered an aggressive dog and had no contact with other dogs or people. He arrived at AMI broken emotionally... Here he slowly began to find the joy of life, turned out to be an ideal dog, very friendly towards other dogs, balanced and competent. He doesn't impose himself on other dogs. With people, he tends to be withdrawn, closed off. It took many months to gain even a little of his trust. As soon as he agreed to wear a harness, we started a series of walks to the vet. It turned out that the dog had many health problems. Due to the need for treatment, we took Amik to our apartment. Although uncertain, he is gradually beginning to open up. Now, after 2 years, he not only tolerates the presence of people, but he himself seeks their company.

Amik to cudowny pluszowy miś w rozmiarze 25XL. Bardzo skrzywdzony przez życie, a raczej przez człowieka. Zanim do nas trafił, ponad 3 lata spędził zamknięty w maleńkim betonowym boksie. Uważany był za psa agresywnego i nie miał z nikim kontaktu, ani z psami ani z ludźmi. Przybył do AMI złamany psychicznie... Tu powolutku zaczął odnajdywać radość życia, okazał się psem idealnym, bardzo przyjaznym do innych psów, zrównoważonym i kompetentnym. Nie narzuca się psiakom. Wobec ludzi raczej wycofany, zamknięty w sobie. Wiele miesięcy trzeba było, by zyskać choć odrobinę jego zaufania. Gdy tylko zgodził się na założenie szelek, rozpoczęliśmy serię wędrówek do lekarza. Tu okazało się, że psiak ma dużo problemów ze zdrowiem. Ze względu na konieczność leczenia, zabraliśmy Amika do mieszkania. Choć niepewny, stopniowo zaczyna się otwierać. Teraz po 2 latach już nie tylko toleruje obecność człowieka, ale sam szuka jego towarzystwa.

About Amik

What life with Amik looks like

Amik is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Ami Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom in Poland.

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.

🇵🇱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 Amik, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Amik?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ami Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Amik on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Amik if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ami Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom 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 Amik 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 Amik 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 Ami Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom early rather than rehoming privately; they know Amik 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.
