BERCIK

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Bercik is a 10-year-old dog, weighing around 15 kg. He was found sitting alone in the middle of fields covered with frost. Forgotten, emaciated, and severely neglected. His body bears the marks of long suffering - anemia, a tumor in the anal area, and physical exhaustion. This was not the pain of a few days, but months, years of hunger, cold, and indifference from his "owner". He is an older, calm dog with an unusually gentle gaze. There is no trace of aggression or anger in him. He is not afraid of humans. He seeks contact, peace, and warmth. He really likes other dogs, but ignores cats completely. Bercik has already had surgery to remove the tumor. He underwent the procedure bravely and has already recovered. He really enjoys walks. They make him come alive. He needs a quiet home, regular, unhurried walks, time for full recovery, stabilization, and a sense of security.

Bercik to około 10-letni psiak, o wadze ok. 15 kg. Został znaleziony siedząc samotnie na środku pól pokrytych szronem. Zapomniany, wychudzony, skrajnie zaniedbany. Jego ciało nosi ślady długiego cierpienia – anemia, guz w okolicy odbytu, wyniszczenie organizmu. To nie był ból kilku dni, to były miesiące, lata głodu, chłodu i obojętności ze strony „właściciela”. To starszy, spokojny pies o niezwykle łagodnym spojrzeniu. Nie ma w nim cienia agresji ani złości. Nie boi się człowieka. Szuka kontaktu, spokoju, ciepła. Bardzo lubi inne psy, koty totalnie ignoruje. Bercik jest już po operacji wycięcia guza. Zabieg przeszedł dzielnie, i już doszedł do siebie. Bardzo lubi spacery. To one sprawiają, że ożywa. Potrzebuje spokojnego domu, regularnych nieśpiesznych spacerów, czasu na pełną regenerację, stabilizacji i poczucia bezpieczeństwa.

About BERCIK

What life with BERCIK looks like

BERCIK is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting BERCIK, answered.

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