How do I contact the shelter about Derek?

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

Can I adopt Derek 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 Derek 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 Derek 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 Derek 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.

Derek

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 1 month

Name: Derek Breed: mixed Age: approx. 2025 Gender: male Size: small Weight: 7 kg Derek is an approximately one-year-old dog who came to us from the commune of Brańszczyk together with his loyal companion, Bibi. He’s a friendly and gentle little fellow who shows no aggression toward either people or other animals. However, he’s somewhat shy and needs time to fully trust humans. Once he feels safe, he reveals his sensitive and loving side. Derek is very close to Bibi; in her presence, he gains confidence. Bibi provides him with support and helps him feel at ease in new situations. We’re looking for an understanding home for him—one that will give him the time he needs to open up. Perhaps the ideal solution would be to adopt Derek and Bibi together, so they can continue to provide each other with a sense of security. DON’T BUY—ADOPT! A DOG THAT ENTERS OUR SHELTER IS SUBJECT TO A 14-DAY QUARANTINE PERIOD. If the owner doesn’t pick him up within this time, the dog will be vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and we’ll start looking for a new guardian for him. The adoption process requires filling out a questionnaire available on our website, agreeing to a pre- or post-adoption home visit, and signing an adoption agreement.

Imię: Derek Rasa: mix Ur.: 2025 Płeć: samiec Wielkość: mały Waga: 7 kg Derek to około roczny psiak, który trafił do nas z gminy Brańszczyk razem ze swoją wierną towarzyszką, Bibi. To sympatyczny i łagodny malec, który nie przejawia agresji ani wobec ludzi, ani innych zwierząt. Jest jednak nieco nieśmiały i potrzebuje czasu, aby w pełni zaufać człowiekowi. Gdy po-czuje się bezpiecznie, pokazuje swoją wrażliwą i kochającą stronę. Derek jest bardzo związany z Bibi. W jej obecności nabiera odwagi. Bibi daje mu wsparcie i pomaga odnaleźć się w nowych sytuacjach. Szukamy dla niego wyrozumiałego domu, który da mu czas na otwarcie się. Być może idealnym rozwiązaniem byłaby adopcja Derka i Bibi razem, aby nadal mogli dawać sobie wzajemne po-czucie bezpieczeństwa. NIE KUPUJ – ADOPTUJ ! PIES, KTÓRY TRAFIA DO NASZEGO SCHRONISKA, OBJĘTY JEST 14-DNIOWĄ KWARANTANNĄ.

About Derek

What life with Derek looks like

Derek is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱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.
