Adopt Biegun

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 18 months

Biegun is a medium-sized, black mixed breed dog who has already reached adulthood. He used to live in an apartment with his caregiver. Unfortunately, the owner's health condition deteriorated, and after so many years together, Biegun had to leave the house and end up in an animal shelter. Now, after 18 years, he starts everything over again. Fortunately, age hasn't taken away his joy of life. Biegun still has a lot of energy! He loudly begs for walks and is very happy to go out. He walks nicely on a leash, loves to sniff around. It's precisely the walks that are his greatest pleasure. He gets along well with other dogs - currently shares the room with female dog Szeryl and does very well in her company. He likes being petted, although he rarely asks for it himself. Biegun is already a retired dog. He feels quite well, but due to his age, he has a supplement for his joints. He also suffers from a cold, which is currently being treated. Like any senior, he will need careful care and attention. We are looking for a person who is aware of how to care for an older dog, ready to give him a warm, safe home and a peaceful place for the last years of his life. Although Biegun is already 18 years old, you can clearly see from his behavior that he still has many dog things left to do.

Read original (pl)

Biegun to średniej wielkości, czarny kundelek, który osiągnął już „pełnoletniość”. Dotychczas mieszkał w bloku u boku swojego opiekuna. Niestety pogorszenie stanu zdrowia właściciela sprawiło, że po tylu wspólnych latach Biegun musiał opuścić dom i trafić do schroniska. Teraz, po 18 latach, zaczyna wszystko od nowa. Na szczęście wiek nie odebrał mu radości życia. Biegun wciąż ma w sobie sporo energii! Głośno dopomina się o spacer i bardzo cieszy się na wyjścia. Ładnie chodzi na smyczy, uwielbia węszyć. To właśnie spacery są dla niego największą przyjemnością. Dogaduje się z innymi psami- obecnie dzieli pomieszczenie z suczką Szeryl i świetnie odnajduje się w jej towarzystwie. Lubi głaskanie, choć sam rzadko się o nie dopomina. Biegun to już psi emeryt. Czuje się całkiem dobrze, jednak ze względu na wiek ma wprowadzoną suplementację na stawy. Dokucza mu również katar, który jest na bieżąco leczony. Jak każdy senior, będzie potrzebował troskliwej opieki i uważności. Szukamy dla niego człowieka świadomego, jak wygląda opieka nad starszym psem, gotowego podarować mu ciepły, bezpieczny dom i spokojną przystań na ostatnie lata życia. Bo choć Biegun ma już 18 lat, po jego zachowaniu widać wyraźnie, że ma tu jeszcze wiele psich spraw do załatwienia. 🖤

About Biegun

What life with Biegun looks like

Biegun 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 Biegun, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Biegun?
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 Biegun on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Biegun 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 Biegun 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 Biegun 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 Biegun 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.
