Mixed Breed · Male

FOKUS - Dogs' lives speak – and there's something in that. I'm a dog whose heart was broken by so many people that it's impossible to put together. From the start, I didn't have any luck. There was no warm home, no caring hands, no one who loved me. There was the street. There was fear. There was a sense that no one cared about me. There was hunger and doubt… Then I ended up at an animal shelter, where someone showed me that things could be different – they cared for me (even though I often made it difficult), they fed me, they taught me everything. I thought that my wandering was over, but fate seems to like playing with me. A person appeared who took me away from here, and I believed that this was my home. That it would be forever. It wasn't. My dog's heart shattered into a million pieces. One day, I found myself on the street again. My "caregiver" simply left me on the street and disappeared, as if I were an unnecessary object. As if I meant nothing. Now I'm back here, at the animal shelter. I don't know what I did wrong, I don't know why no one wants me. I'm afraid of raised hands – does that mean they ever hit me? Sometimes I lose control, I try to grab by the scruff, but it's not out of anger… it's out of fear. Then I come here, I snuggle up, I look for warmth. Because I want to love, but I don't know how to do it anymore. I don't ask for pity. I ask for a chance. Someone who won't turn away from me when it's hard. Someone who will show me that love doesn't end at the first stumble. I can live with other dogs, because I'm not confrontational. Even the smaller four-legged ones I can accept – I recently met some cats – funny creatures! I think we could be friends! Fokus takes medication for their thyroid. They periodically require antihistamine medication. Fokus receives a hypoallergenic diet. our area Street Address: Ściegiennego 20 25-116 Kielce This page uses cookies according to your browser settings.

FOKUS - Pieskie życie powiadają – i coś w tym jest. Jestem psem, którego zawiodło w życiu tyle osób, że nie sposób już chyba poskładać mojego złamanego serca. Od początku nie miałem szczęścia. Nie było ciepłego domu, nie było troskliwych rąk, nie było nikogo, kto by mnie kochał. Była ulica. Był strach. Było poczucie, że nikogo nie obchodzę. Był głód i zwątpienie… Potem trafiłem do schroniska, tutaj ktoś pokazał mi, że można inaczej – dbali o mnie (mimo że często im to utrudniałem), karmili, uczyli wszystkiego. Myślałem, że to koniec mojej tułaczki, ale los chyba lubi się ze mną igrać. Pojawił się człowiek, który zabrał mnie stąd, a ja uwierzyłem, że to mój dom. Że to już na zawsze. Nie było. Znów psie serce pękło na milion kawałków. Pewnego dnia znowu znalazłem się na ulicy. Mój „opiekun” po prostu zostawił mnie na ulicy i zniknął, jakbym był niepotrzebnym przedmiotem. Jakbym nic nie znaczył. Teraz jestem znowu tutaj, w schronisku. Nie wiem, co zrobiłem źle, nie wiem, dlaczego nikt mnie nie chce. Boję się podniesionej ręki – czy to znaczy, że kiedyś mnie nią uderzano? Zdarza mi się stracić kontrolę, próbuję chwytać po kostkach, ale to nie ze złości… To ze strachu. Potem przychodzę, wtulam się, szukam ciepła. Przecież ja chcę kochać, tylko nie wiem już, jak to się robi. Nie proszę o litość. Proszę o szansę. Kogoś, kto nie odwróci się ode mnie, kiedy będzie trudno. Kogoś, kto pokaże mi, że miłość nie kończy się na pierwszym potknięciu. Mogę zamieszkać z innymi pieskami, bo nie jestem konfliktowy. Nawet te mniejsze czworonogi mogę zaakceptować - ostatnio poznałem koty - śmieszne stworzenia! Myślę, że moglibyśmy się zaprzyjaźnić! Fokus bierze leki na tarczycę. Okresowo wymaga podawania leków przeciwalergicznych. Fokus dostaje karmę typu hypoallergenic. ul.

About Fokus

What life with Fokus looks like

Fokus 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 Fokus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fokus?
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 Fokus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fokus 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 Fokus 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 Fokus 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 Fokus 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.
