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.

Benek

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 8 months

Benek - a big, lovable dog. Benek is about 8 years old and came to our animal shelter on February 24th. He is a dog with a strong build, who may seem serious at first glance... but it only takes a moment to see how much warmth he has inside. Initially, he can be shy and needs time to trust new people. However, once he gets to know someone - he eagerly comes for pets and shows his gentle, beloved side. Benek loves walks - it's an important part of his day. He loves sniffing and exploring the world, although he sometimes pulls the leash when something particularly interests him. He also gets great joy from playing together - especially in tug-of-war. He gets along well with selected dogs. If he were to live with another dog, a meet-and-greet walk would be necessary. We're looking for a calm, patient home for Benka, which will give him time to build trust and show him that a person can be the best friend. He is neutered, dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Benek - duży psiak do pokochania. Benek ma około 8 lat i trafił do naszego schroniska 24 lutego. To psiak o masywnej budowie, który na pierwszy rzut oka może wydawać się poważny… ale wystarczy dać mu chwilę, by zobaczyć, jak wiele ciepła w sobie kryje. Początkowo bywa nieśmiały i potrzebuje czasu, by zaufać nowym osobom. Jednak gdy już kogoś pozna - chętnie podchodzi po głaski i pokazuje swoją łagodną, kochaną stronę. Benek bardzo lubi spacery - to dla niego ważny moment dnia. Uwielbia węszyć i poznawać świat, choć zdarza mu się pociągnąć smycz, gdy coś szczególnie go zainteresuje. Czerpie też ogromną radość ze wspólnej zabawy - zwłaszcza w przeciąganie szarpaka. Dobrze odnajduje się w towarzystwie wybranych psów. Jeśli miałby zamieszkać z innym czworonogiem, konieczny będzie spacer zapoznawczy. Szukamy dla Benka spokojnego, cierpliwego domu, który da mu czas na zbudowanie zaufania i pokaże, że człowiek może być najlepszym przyjacielem. Jest wykastrowany, odrobaczony, zaszczepiony i zaczipowany.

About Benek

What life with Benek looks like

Benek is a large 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.
