How do I contact the shelter about Bolek?

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 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 — 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 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 Fundacja Puszatek 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.

Bolek

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

🚨 ON IS DYING OF FEAR AT our shelter. PLEASE CONSIDER A HOME FOR BOLKA 🚨 Bolek is about 2 years old. For most of his life, he has relied solely on himself. It's said that someone once abandoned him on the village outskirts. Since then, he has wandered the fields and nearby villages, growing up fed by the locals. He learned to survive on his own. At the end of December 2025, he was trapped. We knew we had to take him in—his companion, who also lived feral, was found dead. We didn't want him to share her fate. However, today, we see something very painful. our shelter is a different kind of suffering for him 🙁 Bolek is terribly afraid. He fears humans. He fears touch. The noise at our shelter makes him hide in his kennel and shake his entire body. Bolek needs an empathetic home that believes in him. He needs quiet, peace, predictability, and time. Someone who can show him that a hand can stroke, not hurt. We urgently seek a temporary or permanent home for him. A patient, calm one—preferably without small children and without big-city noise. Bolek: – approx. 2 years – approx. 12 kg (reaches under the belly – average-sized dog) – neutered – vaccinated – vaccinated Resides at our area animal shelter.

🚨 ON UMIERA ZE STRACHU W SCHRONISKU. BŁAGAMY O DOM DLA BOLKA 🚨 Bolek ma około 2 lat. Przez większość swojego życia był zdany wyłącznie na siebie. Na wiosce mówią, że ktoś go kiedyś wyrzucił. Od tamtej pory błąkał się po polach i okolicznych wsiach. Dorastał dokarmiany przez mieszkańców. Uczył się przetrwać. Sam. Pod koniec grudnia 2025 roku został wyłapany. Wiedzieliśmy, że musimy go zabrać — jego koleżanka, która również żyła dziko, została znaleziona martwa. Nie chcieliśmy, żeby podzielił jej los. Dziś jednak widzimy coś bardzo bolesnego. Schronisko to dla niego inny rodzaj cierpienia 🙁 Bolek jest przeraźliwie zlękniony. Boi się człowieka. Boi się dotyku. Hałas w schronisku sprawia, że chowa się w budzie i trzęsie całym ciałem. Bolek potrzebuje empatycznego domu, który w niego uwierzy. Potrzebuje ciszy, spokoju, przewidywalności i czasu. Kogoś, kto pokaże mu, że ręka może głaskać, a nie krzywdzić. Szukamy dla niego pilnie domu tymczasowego lub stałego. Cierpliwego, spokojnego — najlepiej bez małych dzieci i bez wielkomiejskiego hałasu. Bolek: – ok. 2 lata – ok. 12 kg (sięga pod kolano – średni pies) – wykastrowany – zaczipowany – zaszczepiony Przebywa w Schronisku w Choszcznie. 📞 Kontakt: Beata – 536 861 043 Prosimy o udostępnienia. Dla niego to naprawdę szansa na pierwsze w życiu poczucie bezpieczeństwa.

About Bolek

What life with Bolek looks like

Bolek 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.
