Bursztyn

Mixed Breed · Male

BURSZTYN - a dog taken in by Urząd Miasta. Bursztyn is a large, older dog who arrived at the animal shelter after the death of his caregiver. The change in environment was a difficult experience for him, but despite this, he adapts well to human contact and eagerly forms relationships with caregivers. He is a friendly, open, and interested-in-human company dog. Despite his age, Bursztyn remains a very active and energetic dog. He loves movement and walks, so he would best find a home with someone who can provide him with an appropriate amount of daily activity. This is a dog who has not lost his zest for life and still actively participates in walks and group activities. Bursztyn can walk on a leash, but he can be quite strong and tends to pull, so the future caregiver should be prepared for further work on calm walking. Due to his size, he would best find a home with a physically strong person who can assert themselves over him. In the kennel, he tries to maintain cleanliness, suggesting that he has developed good habits related to living in a home environment. In relation to other dogs, he shows interest, but his reactions can be varied and require careful introduction into new relationships. Information about his previous life also indicates that he would sometimes attempt escapes in the home. Therefore, in his new home, appropriate security measures and responsible supervision will be necessary. Bursztyn is seeking a home that will provide him with stability, an appropriate amount of movement, and responsible, peaceful care. In return, he offers the companionship of a loyal, active dog who, despite his age, still has a lot of energy and a desire to live together with a human. ul.

BURSZTYN - psiak przyjęty na wniosek Urzędu Miasta. Bursztyn to duży, starszy pies, który trafił do schroniska po śmierci swojego opiekuna. Zmiana środowiska była dla niego trudnym doświadczeniem, jednak mimo tego bardzo dobrze odnajduje się w kontakcie z ludźmi i chętnie nawiązuje relacje z opiekunami. Jest psem przyjaznym, otwartym i zainteresowanym obecnością człowieka. Mimo swojego wieku Bursztyn pozostaje psem bardzo aktywnym i energicznym. Lubi ruch i spacery, dlatego najlepiej odnajdzie się u osoby, która będzie w stanie zapewnić mu odpowiednią dawkę codziennej aktywności. To pies, który zdecydowanie nie stracił chęci do życia i wciąż z dużym zaangażowaniem uczestniczy w spacerach oraz wspólnych aktywnościach. Bursztyn potrafi chodzić na smyczy, jednak bywa dość silny i zdarza mu się ciągnąć, dlatego przyszły opiekun powinien być przygotowany na dalszą pracę nad spokojnym spacerowaniem. Ze względu na swoje gabaryty najlepiej odnajdzie się u osoby fizycznie silnej, która będzie w stanie nad nim zapanować. W boksie stara się zachować czystość, co sugeruje, że posiada wypracowane nawyki związane z funkcjonowaniem w warunkach domowych. W stosunku do innych psów wykazuje zainteresowanie, jednak jego reakcje bywają różne i wymagają ostrożnego wprowadzania w nowe relacje. Z informacji dotyczących wcześniejszego życia psa wynika również, że w domu zdarzało mu się podejmować próby ucieczek. W nowym miejscu konieczne będzie więc zapewnienie odpowiedniego zabezpieczenia posesji oraz świadome prowadzenie psa. Bursztyn szuka domu, który zapewni mu stabilność, odpowiednią dawkę ruchu oraz spokojną, odpowiedzialną opiekę. W zamian oferuje towarzystwo wiernego, aktywnego psa, który mimo wieku wciąż ma w sobie dużo energii i chęci do wspólnego życia z człowiekiem. ul.

About Bursztyn

What life with Bursztyn looks like

Bursztyn is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Kielce in Kielce.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱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 Bursztyn, answered.

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