Filip

Mixed Breed · Male

FILIP – a dog found on Wikaryjska Street. Filip is a dog who is just beginning to discover that the world can be a safe and kind place. His past has made him approach people with caution, and he needs time to learn to trust. He’s not the type of dog who’ll immediately jump onto someone’s lap and demand attention—but every day, step by step, he shows that he wants to open up. He’s learning that a human hand doesn’t have to mean anything bad, that closeness can bring peace, and that walks and spending time together can be enjoyable. Filip is a very smart dog who carefully observes his surroundings and quickly draws conclusions. He needs a calm, patient guardian who will allow him to build confidence and won’t ask too much of him too soon. Walking on a leash is a new skill he’s still learning. Each walk is an important lesson for him—a further step toward independence. Over time, he’s getting better at handling new situations and is starting to understand that stepping outside his crate can be a positive experience. Filip is a calm, gentle, and exceptionally sensitive dog. He doesn’t seek conflict; he simply needs a sense of security and a person who will show him that it’s worth trusting. In the right hands, he has a great chance to become a wonderful, devoted friend. We’re looking for a home for him that will give him the time, patience, and love he may never have had before. ul.

FILIP - psiak znaleziony na Ul. Wikaryjskiej. Filip to pies, który dopiero zaczyna odkrywać, że świat może być bezpiecznym i dobrym miejscem. Jego historia sprawiła, że do człowieka podchodzi z ostrożnością i potrzebuje czasu, aby zaufać. Nie jest psem, który od razu wskoczy komuś na kolana i poprosi o uwagę, ale każdego dnia małymi krokami pokazuje, że chce się otworzyć. Uczy się, że ręka człowieka nie musi oznaczać niczego złego, że bliskość może dawać spokój, a spacer i wspólnie spędzony czas mogą być czymś przyjemnym. Filip jest bardzo mądrym psem, który uważnie obserwuje otoczenie i szybko wyciąga wnioski. Potrzebuje spokojnego, cierpliwego opiekuna, który pozwoli mu nabrać pewności siebie i nie będzie wymagał od niego zbyt wiele zbyt szybko. Chodzenie na smyczy jest dla niego nową umiejętnością, której dopiero się uczy. Każdy spacer to dla niego ważna lekcja i kolejny krok w stronę samodzielności. Z czasem coraz lepiej radzi sobie z nowymi sytuacjami i zaczyna rozumieć, że wyjście poza boks może być czymś pozytywnym. Filip jest psem spokojnym, delikatnym i niezwykle wrażliwym. Nie szuka konfliktów, potrzebuje jedynie poczucia bezpieczeństwa i człowieka, który pokaże mu, że warto zaufać. W odpowiednich rękach ma ogromną szansę stać się wspaniałym, oddanym przyjacielem. Szukamy dla niego domu, który da mu czas, cierpliwość i miłość, której być może wcześniej nie miał okazji poznać. ul.

About Filip

What life with Filip looks like

Filip is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Kielce in Kielce.

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 Filip, answered.

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