Bolek

Shar Pei · Male · Senior · 9 years

Bolek is looking for a loving home! Bolek is 11 years old, weighs 23 kg and is a Shar Pei-type dog. He came to us because his older caregiver could no longer take care of him. He is a friendly and calm dog. He enjoys human contact and petting. He can walk on a leash, and he behaves well during veterinary visits. Bolek used to live in a house and is house-trained. He could live with a gentle dog companion, after getting acquainted. We are looking for a loving and responsible home for Bolek, which will provide him with care and ensure a peaceful old age. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LEASH AND COLLAR when adopting. The description is based on observations of the dog in the shelter. Bolek is under the care of OTOZ Animals Shelter in Tczew. Shelter ID number: 155/26 The male is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and neutered. Contact for adoption: 58 531 96 56

About Bolek

What life with Bolek looks like

Bolek is a medium-sized senior shar pei dog waiting at OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Tczewie 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 Bolek, answered.

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