BUDZIAK

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

BUDZIAK (POA) – SENIOR – Male, neutered, born approx. 2015, shoulder height approx. 60–62 cm Budziak is a large, calm male who, like many of the dogs at the shelter, unfortunately carries quite a few extra pounds. Even so, he is active and looks fit. He walks well on the leash. Whatever beauty he may have lost to his excess weight, he more than makes up for with his thoroughly positive temperament. He is a fine fellow who approaches every person openly and in a friendly way and enjoys closeness and being petted. According to his caregiver, he gets along well with both male and female dogs and is friendly toward every living creature. (06/2025 B/CS)

DE·Show original

BUDZIAK (POA) – SENIOR – Rüde, kastriert, geb. ca. 2015, Schulterhöhe ca. 60-62 cm Budziak ist ein großer, ruhiger Rüde, der leider wie viele Hunde in dem Tierheim einiges zuviel auf den Rippen hat. Trotzdem ist er aktiv und macht einen fitten Eindruck. Er läuft gut an der Leine. Was er vielleicht an Schönheit durch sein Übergewicht eingebüßt hat, macht er durch ein absolut positives Wesen wieder wett. Ein feiner Kerl, der offen und freundlich auf jedem Menschen zugeht und die Nähe und Streicheleinheiten genießt. Lt. Pflegerin ist er verträglich mit Rüden und Hündinnen und freundlich zu jedem Lebewesen. (06/2025 B/CS)

About BUDZIAK

What life with BUDZIAK looks like

BUDZIAK is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Polen in Dierkshausen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting BUDZIAK, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BUDZIAK?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe Polen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BUDZIAK on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BUDZIAK if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe Polen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is BUDZIAK 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 BUDZIAK 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 Hundehilfe Polen early rather than rehoming privately; they know BUDZIAK 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 (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
