Adopt Czarek

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Unfortunately, the lady didn't cope with his character :-( 11.06.2021 I lived in Bytom :-) 07.12.2020 Hello, my name is Czarek. I'm presenting myself to you for the first time, but the animal shelter staff already know me well. I often ran around without supervision from the owners. Despite that, they always took me back. Until now! On November 3rd, 2020, I was brought in from an intervention near Obrońców Westerplatte street. The animal shelter employees along with the City Guard tried to contact the owners, but unfortunately, it turned out that I wouldn't be going home. The owner claims that he currently has to take care of his wife, not a dog. So, I, a medium-sized Czarek, born in April 2013, am looking for a home. Although my body language, caused by the fear inside, causes concerns, this is not my intention. I don't want to discourage you. I am scared myself, understand... I want to scare away all those who intend to hurt me. You can see, even my owner approached this matter. As something unnecessary... Tears are coming to my eyes, but here I have to pretend to be tough, because others will laugh at me. And although I am 7 years old, I want to say that I also dream. Just like you dream about a new car, a promotion at work, or a trip abroad. I also dream, but about having a family. I can walk nicely on a leash, I haven't had the pleasure of being with any other dog. Probably everything before me. My advantage is that I really love to cuddle. I could cuddle day and night. I respond quite well to the command: "sit", I react a little shyly to the command: "paw". I have current vaccination, deworming. I was also microchipped. I have already had the neutering procedure.

Niestety Pani nie poradziła sobie z jego charakterem :-( 11.06.2021Zamieszkałem w Bytomiu :-) 07.12.2020Witam, mam na imię Czarek. Państwu przedstawiam się po raz pierwszy, ale personel schroniska dobrze mnie już zna. Często biegałem bez nadzoru właścicieli. Mimo wszystko mnie za każdym razem mnie odbierali. Aż do teraz! 3 listopada 2020 roku zostałem przywieziony z interwencji z okolic ul. Obrońców Westerplatte. Pracownicy schroniska wraz ze Strażą Miejską podjęli próbę kontaktu z właścicielami, ale niestety w wyniku rozmowy okazało się, że nie wrócę do domu. Właściciel twierdzi, że musi obecnie zająć się żoną, a nie psem. Tak więc, ja średniej wielkości Czarek, urodzony w kwietniu 2013 roku, poszukuję domu. Choć moja postawa ciała przez otulający od środka strach budzi obawy, nie to jest moim zamiarem. Nie chcę Cię do siebie zniechęcić. Sam się boję, zrozum... Chcę odpędzić wszystkich tych, którzy mają zamiar mnie skrzywdzić. Sam widzisz, nawet mój właściciel jak do tej sprawy podszedł. Jak do czegoś niepotrzebnego.. Aż łzy same cisną się do oczu, ale tu muszę udawać twardziela, bo inni będą się ze mnie śmiać. I choć mam 7 lat, chcę powiedzieć, że również marzę. Tak jak Ty marzysz o nowym samochodzie, o awansie w pracy albo o wyjeździe za granicę. Ja również marzę, ale o posiadaniu rodziny. Potrafię ładnie chodzić na smyczy, obecnie nie miałem przyjemności przebywać z żadnym innym psem. Pewnie wszystko przede mną. Moją zaletą jest to, że strasznie uwielbiam się przytulać. Mógłbym się tak przytulać dzień i noc. Całkiem sprawnie reaguję na komendę: "siad", nieco nieśmiało reaguję na komendę: "łapa". Posiadam aktualne szczepienie, odrobaczenie. Zostałem również zaczipowany. Jestem już po zabiegu kastracji.

About Czarek

What life with Czarek looks like

Czarek is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Czarek, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Czarek?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze 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 Zabrze 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 Zabrze 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.
