How do I contact the shelter about BESTI?

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 BESTI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BESTI 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 BESTI 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 BESTI 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 BESTI 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.

BESTI

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Bestie is a charming, cheerful little dog of the Shih Tzu type who came to us very neglected. He was all matted and dirty, and his eyes were badly infected. Today he is slowly recovering and showing how nice and grateful he is. Bestie gets along well with both dogs and cats. On walks he behaves very well, and he is most interested in calm sniffing and exploring his surroundings. Apart from walks, he is definitely a lover of rest and long naps. Unfortunately, in the shelter he does not always have the opportunity to relax peacefully, because it is noisy and there is a lot going on, so he really needs his own quiet home. Bestie is a calm and friendly little dog, although during a visit to the hairdresser he can be a bit more restless, especially when it comes to trimming his paws, which he simply does not like. He then requires a calm and patient approach. Bestie has dry eye syndrome, so in a new home he will need to be given eye drops every day. This is an important part of his daily care, which the future owner should be ready to face.

Besti to uroczy, pogodny psiak w typie shih tzu, który trafił do nas bardzo zaniedbany. Był cały skołtuniony i brudny, a jego oczka były mocno zaropiałe. Dziś powoli dochodzi do siebie i pokazuje, jak fajnym i wdzięcznym psiakiem jest. Besti dobrze dogaduje się zarówno z psami, jak i kotami. Na spacerach zachowuje się bardzo ładnie, a najbardziej interesuje go spokojne węszenie i poznawanie otoczenia. Poza spacerami zdecydowanie jest miłośnikiem odpoczynku i długich drzemek. W schronisku niestety nie zawsze ma możliwość spokojnego relaksu, ponieważ jest tu głośno i dużo się dzieje, dlatego bardzo potrzebuje własnego, spokojnego domu. Besti jest spokojnym i sympatycznym psiakiem, choć podczas wizyty u fryzjera potrafi być nieco bardziej niespokojny, szczególnie kiedy przychodzi do strzyżenia łapek, którego po prostu nie lubi. Wymaga wtedy spokojnego i cierpliwego podejścia. Besti ma zespół suchego oka, dlatego w nowym domu będzie trzeba codziennie podawać mu krople do oczu. To ważny element jego codziennej opieki, z którym przyszły opiekun powinien być gotowy się zmierzyć.

About BESTI

What life with BESTI looks like

BESTI is a small 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.
