How do I contact the shelter about BENEK?

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

Can I adopt BENEK if I live in another country?

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

BENEK

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

BENEK arrived at our shelter after the death of his owner. Unfortunately, after this difficult situation, he no longer had anyone who could take care of him. For a dog who knew home, the daily routine by the side of a human and a sense of security, the animal shelter became a huge change. Despite this, BENEK adapts very well to contact with people and every day shows that he is really a wonderful dog. He is a calm, contact-seeking, and well-mannered dog. He is house-trained, can find his way in home-like conditions, and enjoys walks very much. He walks nicely on a leash, doesn't pull, and walks with him are really pleasant. BENEK also adapts well to the company of other dogs, so there is a chance that he could live with a canine resident after proper, appropriate introduction. However, we do not know his relationship with cats, so we are looking for a home without feline residents for him. BENEK seeks a calm and responsible home that will give him a sense of security and allow him to regain trust that after loss, something good can still happen to him. This is a dog who will surely repay with great affection and be a faithful companion for many years.

Benek trafił do schroniska po śmierci swojego właściciela. Niestety po tej trudnej sytuacji nie miał już nikogo, kto mógłby się nim zaopiekować. Dla psa, który znał dom, codzienność u boku człowieka i poczucie bezpieczeństwa, schronisko stało się ogromną zmianą. Mimo tego Benek bardzo dobrze odnajduje się w kontakcie z ludźmi i każdego dnia pokazuje, że jest naprawdę wspaniałym psem. To spokojny, kontaktowy i dobrze ułożony psiak. Jest nauczony czystości, potrafi odnaleźć się w domowych warunkach i pięknie korzysta ze spacerów. Ładnie chodzi na smyczy, nie ciągnie i wspólne spacery z nim są naprawdę przyjemne. Benek dobrze odnajduje się także w towarzystwie innych psów, dlatego istnieje szansa, że mógłby zamieszkać z psim rezydentem po wcześniejszym, odpowiednim zapoznaniu. Nie znamy jednak jego stosunku do kotów, dlatego szukamy dla niego domu bez kocich mieszkańców. Benek szuka spokojnego i odpowiedzialnego domu, który da mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa oraz pozwoli na nowo zaufać, że po stracie może jeszcze spotkać go coś dobrego. To pies, który z pewnością odwdzięczy się ogromnym przywiązaniem i będzie wiernym towarzyszem na długie lata.

About BENEK

What life with BENEK looks like

BENEK is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Świdnica 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.
