How do I contact the shelter about Fox?

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

Can I adopt Fox 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 Fox 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 Fox 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 Fox 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.

Adopt Fox

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Hi, I'm Fox. Do you remember me? I already had a home. I thought it would be forever. For almost eight years I lived with my family, I had my place, my routines, I was part of their world... and then suddenly everything ended. Someone new came along, and instead of support and help, I got a verdict. My behavior started to bother them, but no one tried to understand me. They didn't listen to the advice, they didn't give me a chance. They just gave me away. I came back shaken, no surprise - I still smelled the couch I was used to. And in an instant I lost everything: the familiar corners of the house, the bowls I used every day. The people I love, because I still love them... Only time, which will pass, will be able to heal at least superficially the wounds that were inflicted upon me by those closest to me. I need a family that will spend some time and patience on me. I am a well-behaved dog - I keep the room clean, I can be alone for several hours. I walk nicely on a leash. I have current vaccinations, I am de-sexed and had the neutering procedure. I don't understand it, but I have to go on. Now I'm waiting for someone who won't hesitate when facing the first difficulties. Someone who will give me time, patience and love that I so much desire. Someone who will be my home. This time forever. in a beloved home :-) 30.06.2017Unfortunately this time the caregiver turned out to be irresponsible. Fox often ran around without supervision. There were no consequences. 16.05.2017I came back home ;-) 07.11.

Cześć, jestem Fox.Pamiętacie mnie? Miałem już dom. Myślałem, że na zawsze. Przez prawie osiem lat żyłem u boku mojej rodziny, miałem swoje miejsce, swoje rytuały, byłem częścią ich świata… aż nagle wszystko się skończyło. Pojawił się ktoś nowy, a ja – zamiast wsparcia i pomocy – dostałem wyrok. Moje zachowanie zaczęło im przeszkadzać, ale nikt nie próbował mnie zrozumieć. Nie słuchali porad, nie dali mi szansy. Po prostu mnie oddali. Wróciłem roztrzęsiony, nic dziwnego – jeszcze czułem zapach kanapy, do której przywykłem. I w sekundę wszystko straciłem: znane kąty w domu, miski, z których codziennie korzystałem. Ludzi, których kocham, bo ja nadal ich kocham… Dopiero czas, który upłynie, zdoła zabliźnić przynajmniej powierzchownie rany, które zadali mi najbliżsi. Potrzebuję rodziny, która poświęci mi trochę czasu i cierpliwości. Jestem grzecznym psem – zachowuję czystość w pomieszczeniu, potrafię przebywać sam kilka godzin. Ładnie chodzę na smyczy. Mam aktualne szczepienia, jestem odrobaczony i po zabiegu kastracji. Nie rozumiem tego, ale muszę żyć dalej. Teraz czekam na kogoś, kto nie zawaha się przy pierwszych trudnościach. Kto da mi czas, cierpliwość i miłość, której tak bardzo pragnę. Ktoś, kto będzie moim domem. Tym razem na zawsze. się ukochanego domku :-) 30.06.2017Niestety tym razem opiekun okazał się być nieodpowiedzialny. Fox często biegał bez nadzoru. Nie obeszło się bez sankcji. 16.05.2017Wróciłem do domu ;-) 07.11.2015

About Fox

What life with Fox looks like

Fox is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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.
