How do I contact the shelter about Costa?

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 Costa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Costa 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 Costa 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 Costa 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 Costa 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.

Costa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Costa is a female dog of the Belgian shepherd type, about 6 years old. At the end of February, she arrived at our shelter from the commune of Sadki. She is very lively, full of energy and ready to act. She jumps high, gets bored quickly and definitely needs an activity - both physical and mental. We are looking for a consistent and aware caregiver who wants to work with her and appropriately channel her energy. She was probably previously a yard dog, so in a new home, it may be necessary to teach her the rules of living in a house. She handles a leash quite well, although she can be a bit unsure in new situations. She can get along with other dogs, but she will not remain passive. Costa will best find herself with an active person who will provide her with movement, training and clear rules. In the right hands, she has great potential to become a wonderful companion. The female dog is vaccinated and will be spayed. Her registration number: 111/26.

PL·Show original

Costa to suczka w typie owczarka belgijskiego, w wieku około 6 lat. Pod koniec lutego trafiła do nas z gminy Sadki. Jest bardzo żywiołowa, pełna energii i gotowa do działania. Wysoko skacze, szybko się nudzi i zdecydowanie potrzebuje zajęcia – zarówno fizycznego, jak i umysłowego. Szukamy dla niej konsekwentnego i świadomego opiekuna, który będzie chciał z nią pracować i odpowiednio ukierunkować jej energię. Z dużym prawdopodobieństwem wcześniej była psem podwórkowym, dlatego w nowym domu może być konieczne nauczenie jej zasad życia w domu. Na smyczy radzi sobie całkiem dobrze, choć w nowych sytuacjach bywa jeszcze trochę niepewna. Z innymi psami potrafi się dogadać, jednak zaczepiana nie pozostanie dłużna. Costa najlepiej odnajdzie się u aktywnej osoby, która zapewni jej ruch, trening i jasne zasady. W odpowiednich rękach ma ogromny potencjał, by stać się wspaniałą towarzyszką. Suczka jest zaszczepiona i zostanie wysterylizowana. Jej numer ewidencyjny: 111/26. Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: 512 282 853 (pn-pt ).

About Costa

What life with Costa looks like

Costa is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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.
