How do I contact the shelter about Baks?

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

Can I adopt Baks if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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 Baks 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 Baks 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 Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Baks 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.

Baks

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 12 months

Baksio is an elderly gentleman. Despite his age and poor vision, he confidently strides out for walks. He doesn't seek human attention, but if a volunteer crouches down, Baksio eagerly approaches for a pat. He is neutral around other dogs, but occasionally gets excited and can be too forward in greetings. He sniffs the walks delicately and takes his treats very gently. Who will give him a peaceful old age? This dog doesn't require much - just his person for petting and a soft bed for sleeping. We laugh that he's like our border collie in looks, with a similar type of beauty. Who will give him a chance? Baksio is about 12 years old. He is neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and microchipped. Adoption requires three introductory walks - in Dizl's case, more than three might be needed. The animal shelter does not place dogs on chains or in possession of properties where no one lives. Possible pre- or post-adoption visits.

PL·Show original

Baksio to przeuroczy staruszek. Mimo swojego wieku i niedowidzenia - dziarsko maszeruje przed siebie na spacerze. Nie zabiega o uwagę człowieka, ale gdy wolontariusz przykucnie to Baksio chętnie podbiegnie po głaskanie. Do innych psiaków jest neutralny, ale zdarza się, że jest podekscytowany i bywa wtedy zbyt nachalny w przywitaniach. Dużo niucha na spacerze, smaczki bierze bardzo delikatnie. Kto podaruje mu spokojną starość? Taki psiak nie wymaga wiele - swojego człowieka do głaskania i miękkie posłanie do spania. Śmiejemy się, że jest to taki nasz border collie z temu, ma podobny typ urody. Kto da mu szansę? Baksio ma około 12 lat. Jest wykastrowany, zaszczepiony, odrobaczony i zachipowany. Przed adopcją wymagane 3 spacery zapoznawcze - w przypadku Dizla być może będzie potrzebne więcej niż 3. Schronisko nie wydaje psów na łańcuch ani na posesję czy działkę, gdzie nikt nie mieszka. Możliwa wizyta przed- lub poadopcyjna. Kontakt w godzinach 8-14 (pn-pt), 8-11 (sb).

About Baks

What life with Baks looks like

Baks is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱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.
