Benek

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 2 months

He wasn’t rescued from a chain just to end up stuck in a shelter 😞😞😞 BENEK ❤️❤️❤️ He’s only 2 years old, yet he’s already tasted the bitter flavor of human callousness. From being kept as a puppy on a short chain next to a dilapidated kennel, fed from bowls with leftovers. Despite it all, he still looks at people with unwavering loyalty, utterly devoted without condition. Does he have a chance for a better life? Will someone come along who can show him what life in a real family is like? Benek is small—probably weighs around 12 kg. He’s been vaccinated and microchipped.

Nie po to uratowany z łańcucha żeby utknął w schronisku 😞😞😞 BENEK ❤️❤️❤️ Ma dopiero 2 lata a już poznał gorzki smak ludzkiej znieczulicy. Od szczeniaka na króciutkim łańcuchu przy rozwalającej się budzie, karmiony zlewkami . Mimo wszystko wiernie wpatrzony w człowieka, bezwarunkowo oddany. Czy ma szansę na lepszy los ? Czy znajdzie się ktoś , kto pokaże jak wygląda życie w prawdziwej rodzinie ? Benek jest niewielki, może ważyć ok 12 kg. Został zaszczepiony i zachipowany.

About Benek

What life with Benek looks like

Benek 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benek, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benek?
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 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 — 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 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 Fundacja Puszatek 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.
