How do I contact the shelter about Diego?

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

Can I adopt Diego 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 Diego 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 Diego 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 Diego 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.

Diego

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Diego was born around November 2022. He had a home, but fate took a different turn and he ended up in our shelter, now looking for someone to trust again. Diego is a Shar Pei-type dog, a true individualist. He's stubborn, independent, and knows exactly what he wants. Like many of his breed, he doesn't like veterinary procedures or grooming, so the future owner should be prepared for patient work and building a relationship based on trust. Diego isn't a dog that will befriend every other dog. He accepts some dogs but not all. Currently, he lives in a kennel with a male named Sonet, forming a great duo. We are looking for a home for Diego that is aware of his independent nature, respects his boundaries, and gives him time to adjust to the new reality. We don't recommend Diego for homes with children; we don't know how he reacts to cats. Maybe you could be the one who finds his forever home? DIEGO is in "Ciapkowo" Animal Shelter in Gdynia run by OTOZ Animals. *Descriptions are based on behavior observed at the shelter and may not reflect his behavior in a home environment. NAME: DIEGO (194/26) SEX: Male AGE: Born around November 2022 RACE: Shar Pei-type SIZE: Medium-sized CHIP: YES VACCINATION: YES DEWORMING: YES FLEA TREATMENT: YES HEALTH: No noticeable health issues. CHARACTER: Confident, independent, a dog with character. FOR WHO: For a calm person who enjoys walks, consistent, patient, familiar with the breed. Contact us for adoption at 58 622 25 52/786 423 527 or email .

Diego urodził się około listopada 2022 roku. Miał swój dom, jednak los potoczył się tak, że trafił do naszego schroniska i dziś ponownie szuka człowieka, któremu będzie mógł zaufać. To pies w typie rasy Shar Pei, a więc prawdziwy indywidualista. Jest uparty, niezależny i doskonale wie, czego chce. Jak wielu przedstawicieli tej rasy, nie przepada za zabiegami weterynaryjnymi i wszelkimi czynnościami pielęgnacyjnymi, dlatego przyszły opiekun powinien być przygotowany na cierpliwą pracę i budowanie z nim relacji opartej na zaufaniu. Diego nie jest psem, który zaprzyjaźni się z każdym czworonogiem. Akceptuje niektóre psy, ale nie wszystkie. Obecnie mieszka w boksie z samcem o imieniu Sonet i razem tworzą naprawdę zgrany duet. Szukamy dla Diego domu świadomego, najlepiej u osoby znającej specyfikę rasy lub gotowej ją dobrze poznać. To pies dla kogoś, kto doceni jego niezależny charakter, uszanuje jego granice i da mu czas na odnalezienie się w nowej rzeczywistości. Nie polecamy Diego do domu w którym są dzieci, nie wiemy jak psiak reaguje na koty. Może właśnie u Ciebie Diego odnajdzie swój drugi, już na zawsze, dom? DIEGO przebywa w schronisku dla bezdomnych zwierząt „Ciapkowo” w Gdyni prowadzonym przez OTOZ Animals. *opisy dotyczą zachowań obserwowanych w schronisku i mogą nie odzwierciedlać zachowania psa w warunkach domowych. IMIĘ: DIEGO (194/26) PŁEĆ: Pies WIEK: Ur. około 11.2022 rok RASA: W typie Shar pei WIELKOŚĆ: Średniej wielkości CZIP: TAK SZCZEPIENIE: TAK ODROBACZENIE: TAK ODPCHLENIE: TAK ZDROWIE: Bez zauważalnych problemów zdrowotnych. CHARAKTER: Pewny siebie, niezależny, pies z charakterem. DLA KOGO: Dla osoby spokojnej, lubiącej spacery, konsekwentnej, cierpliwej, znającej rasę. W sprawie adopcji prosimy o kontakt pod numerem telefonu: 58 622 25 52/ 786 423 527 lub mail: .

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a medium-sized 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.
