Antek

Male

Antek is waiting for a virtual caregiver. Antek is about 4 years old and is an energetic, active dog who is still learning to trust humans. His life hasn’t been easy, which is why he approaches new people and situations with caution. He needs a caregiver who will show him plenty of patience, understanding, and love. Antek has trouble walking on a leash and requires further work in this area. He doesn’t like cats, so we’re looking for a home for him that doesn’t have any feline residents—but he does get along well with other dogs. For some time now, one of our caregivers has been giving Antek a lot of attention and working hard to build his self-confidence. Today, we’re seeing tremendous progress. Antek is increasingly eager to open up to people and is showing that he’s capable of forming bonds. If someone gives him a chance, pays him attention, and shows him patience, Antek will repay them with trust and loyalty. He needs a person who understands his needs and allows him to develop at his own pace. DON’T BUY—ADOPT!

Antek czeka na wirtualnego opiekuna Antek ma około 4 lata i jest pełnym energii, aktywnym psiakiem, który wciąż uczy się ufać człowiekowi. Jego życie nie było łatwe, dlatego ostrożnie podchodzi do nowych osób i sytuacji. Potrzebuje opiekuna, który okaże mu dużo cierpliwości, wyrozumiałości i miłości. Antek ma problemy z chodzeniem na smyczy i wymaga dalszej pracy w tym zakresie. Nie przepada za kotami, dlatego szukamy dla niego domu bez kocich mieszkańców, ale za to toleruje inne psy. Od dłuższego czasu jeden z naszych opiekunów poświęca Antkowi wiele uwagi i pracuje nad budowaniem jego pewności siebie. Dziś widzimy ogromną poprawę. Antek coraz chętniej otwiera się na ludzi i pokazuje, że potrafi nawiązać relację. Jeśli ktoś da mu szansę, poświęci mu uwagę i okaże cierpliwość, Antek odwdzięczy się zaufaniem i lojalnością. Potrzebuje człowieka, który zrozumie jego potrzeby i pozwoli mu rozwijać się we własnym tempie. NIE KUPUJ – ADOPTUJ !

About Antek

What life with Antek looks like

Antek is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Fundacja Przyjaciele Braci Mniejszych in Poland.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Antek, answered.

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