Czarek

Male · Senior · 11 years

Health status: suffering from thyroid issues, spondylosis, and cauda equina syndrome, Czarek is a very cheerful, lively senior who loves human company. When he’s with his caregiver, he smiles and constantly wags his tail. He absolutely adores being scratched behind the ears as well as on his rear end. On walks, he trots briskly ahead, occasionally sniffing at bushes along the way. As soon as you stop, Czarek, delighted, immediately comes running over. He loves treats and knows how to sit up for them. He’s neutral toward other dogs, mostly ignoring them. He’d probably do well living with another dog that’s not overly assertive. Given his age, he’d be best suited to a home with few stairs. Czarek is looking for a peaceful place where he can enjoy the companionship of a human—someone he misses so much—and finally experience the tranquility of retirement.

PL·Show original

Czarek to bardzo wesoły, pełen życia senior, który kocha towarzystwo człowieka. Gdy jest przy opiekunie to uśmiecha się i cały czas macha ogonem. Uwielbia drapanie za uszkiem jak i po zadku. Na spacerze idzie żwawo przed siebie, wąchając co jakiś czas krzaczki. Wystarczy się zatrzymać, a Czarek uradowany od razu przybiega. Kocha smaczki, umie zrobić za nie siad. Do innych psów jest neutralnie nastawiony, raczej je ignoruje. Prawdopodobnie mógłby zamieszkać z innym, nienachalnym psem. Powinien trafić do domu z małą ilością schodów ze względu na jego wiek. Czarek szuka spokojnego miejsca, gdzie mógłby się nacieszyć towarzystwem człowieka, którego tak bardzo mu brakuje, a także zaznać spokoju na emeryturze.

About Czarek

What life with Czarek looks like

Czarek is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 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 Czarek, answered.

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