Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Buddy is slow to warm up in relationships, careful, with a character built somewhere between the past and hope for something better. He's not a dog for everyone, but for the right person, he can become truly special. He's still learning - the world, people, rules, trust. And although sometimes things overwhelm him, it's impossible not to give him your heart and his unique beauty. For whom is this dog? He's a candidate for someone who doesn't expect ready-made solutions from a dog, but wants to enter a relationship based on observation, understanding, and respect. He will best find his place with someone who has experience with dogs from difficult situations or is ready to cooperate with a behaviorist. This won't be an easy story - but it can be very valuable. We don't recommend him for a home with children - he needs peace, stability, and a caregiver who can predict his behavior and react appropriately. Who are we looking for? The new home should be a calm place - preferably without other animals or with the possibility of earlier, controlled meeting walks. He currently lives alone and we don't yet know how he will react to the constant presence of other dogs. He requires patience, but also vigilance - he's a dog that must be carefully read. The caregiver must be aware that some situations may cause stress, and then a quick but calm reaction is needed. If you have an open heart for work and you're not looking for an "easy dog" - this might be the one. What's worth knowing about him? Born in 2017, weight 18 kg - medium-sized and moderately active. Likes contact with people, but builds relationships slowly. Doesn't know commands, is just learning to walk on a leash. He comes from difficult conditions - he was taken off a chain, so not everything is obvious to him. Sometimes he withdraws, sometimes he reacts impulsively, especially when he feels cornered - he sometimes growls, grabs sleeves or shoes. But when he meets a familiar person, like his beloved caregiver Anitka, he can be completely different - cheerful, playful, open. He's a dog who really needs his person. He just doesn't know yet how to be one. Weight: 18kg leash: in progress Relationship with dogs: previous introduction required neutering/spaying: waiting for the procedure He has been castrated, dewormed, treated for parasites, vaccinated, microchipped, registered in the Safe Animal database. dog is staying at: animal shelter Funny Pets in Czartki Czartki 49b, 98-200 Sieradz powiat sieradzki, woj.

PL·Show original

Buddy jest nieśpieszny w relacjach, uważny, z charakterem zbudowanym gdzieś między przeszłością a nadzieją na coś lepszego. To nie pies dla każdego, ale dla właściwej osoby może stać się kimś naprawdę wyjątkowym. Wciąż się uczy – świata, ludzi, zasad, zaufania. I choć czasem coś go przerasta, to nie sposób odmówić mu serca i niezwykłej urody. Dla kogo jest ten psiak? To kandydat dla osoby, która nie oczekuje od psa gotowych rozwiązań, tylko chce wejść w relację opartą na obserwacji, zrozumieniu i szacunku. Najlepiej odnajdzie się u kogoś, kto ma doświadczenie z psami po przejściach lub jest gotowy na współpracę z behawiorystą. To nie będzie prosta historia – ale może być bardzo wartościowa. Nie polecamy go do domu z dziećmi – potrzebuje spokoju, stałości i opiekuna, który potrafi przewidzieć zachowania i odpowiednio zareagować. Kogo szukamy? Nowy dom powinien być spokojnym miejscem – najlepiej bez innych zwierząt lub z możliwością wcześniejszych, kontrolowanych zapoznawczych spacerów. W tej chwili mieszka sam i nie wiemy jeszcze, jak zareaguje na stałą obecność innych psów. Wymaga cierpliwości, ale też czujności – to pies, którego trzeba uważnie czytać. Opiekun musi być świadomy, że niektóre sytuacje mogą wywołać stres, a wtedy potrzebna jest szybka, ale spokojna reakcja. Jeśli masz serce otwarte na pracę i nie szukasz "łatwego psa" – to właśnie może być ten. Co warto o nim wiedzieć? Rocznik 2017, waga 18 kg – średniej wielkości i średnio aktywny. Lubi kontakt z ludźmi, ale buduje relacje powoli. Nie zna komend, dopiero uczy się chodzenia na smyczy. Pochodzi z trudnych warunków – zszedł z łańcucha, dlatego nie wszystko jest dla niego oczywiste. Czasem się wycofa, czasem zareaguje impulsywnie, zwłaszcza gdy czuje się przyciśnięty do muru – zdarza mu się warczeć, łapać za rękaw czy buty. Ale kiedy trafi na znajomą osobę, jak jego ukochana opiekunka Anitka, potrafi być zupełnie inny – wesoły, zabawowy, otwarty. To pies, który bardzo potrzebuje swojego człowieka. Po prostu jeszcze nie wie, jak się nim stać. Waga : 18kg Smycz : w trakcie Stosunek do psów : konieczne wcześniejsze zapoznanie Kastracja/Sterylizacja : czeka na zabieg Został wykastrowany, odpchlony, odrobaczony, zaszczepiony, zachipowany, zarejestrowany w bazie Safe Animal. Psiak przebywa w: Schronisko Funny Pets w Czartkach Czartki 49b, 98-200 Sieradz powiat sieradzki, woj. łódzkie 43 828 36 46 - ogólny

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a large 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 Buddy, answered.

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