How do I contact the shelter about Franek?

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

Can I adopt Franek 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 Franek 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 Franek 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 Franek 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.

Franek

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Respectfully! My name is Franek. I’m a beagle born on August 1, 2015. I came to the shelter on July 11, 2026. A family brought me here because my caretaker was hospitalized, and her health condition no longer allowed her to care for me. It wasn’t an easy transition—overnight, I lost the home I knew so well. I’m a typical representative of my breed. Beagles are cheerful, sociable dogs who are deeply attached to people. I love being close to humans, eagerly participate in everything that’s going on, and I explore the world best with my nose. I’m full of curiosity, energy, and joy for life. And when a tasty treat appears in someone’s hand... well, it’s hard for me to hide my enthusiasm! I’m a clean and very friendly dog. I walk nicely on a leash and am thrilled to go for walks. I love playing, spending time together, and every moment devoted just to me. The greatest reward for me is human attention—even though I won’t hide the fact that good treats hold a very special place in my heart. I don’t particularly enjoy being alone, as I love having my people nearby the most. In my previous home, however, I could calmly stay by myself for about five hours, so I know that sometimes you just have to patiently wait for your caregiver to return. I’m up-to-date on vaccinations and deworming. I still need more thorough diagnostics to make sure I’m completely healthy and can enjoy excellent well-being. I’m looking for a home where I can once again become part of everyday life—a place where shared walks, playtime, and relaxing moments on the couch will be completely normal. In return, I’ll give you my loyal companionship, lots of smiles, and that distinctive beagle nose that’ll curiously explore every corner of the world. Maybe it’s exactly with you that I’ll find the place where I’ll feel safe and secure once again?

Uszanowanie ! Mam na imię Franek. Jestem beaglem urodzonym 1 sierpnia 2015 roku.Do schroniska trafiłem 11 lipca 2026 roku. Przyprowadziła mnie rodzina, ponieważ moja opiekunka trafiła do szpitala, a jej stan zdrowia nie pozwalał dłużej się mną zajmować. To nie była łatwa zmiana – z dnia na dzień straciłem dom, który dobrze znałem. Jestem typowym przedstawicielem swojej rasy. Beagle to psy pogodne, towarzyskie i bardzo przywiązane do ludzi. Uwielbiam być blisko człowieka, chętnie uczestniczę we wszystkim, co się dzieje, a świat najchętniej poznaję nosem. Mam w sobie sporo ciekawości, energii i radości życia. A jeśli w dłoni pojawi się smakołyk... cóż, trudno będzie mi ukryć entuzjazm! Jestem czystym i bardzo sympatycznym psem. Ładnie chodzę na smyczy i z ogromną chęcią wybieram się na spacery. Kocham zabawę, wspólnie spędzony czas i każdą chwilę poświęconą tylko mnie. Największą nagrodą jest dla mnie uwaga człowieka – choć nie ukrywam, że dobre przysmaki zajmują tu bardzo wysokie miejsce. Nie przepadam za samotnością, bo najbardziej lubię mieć swoich ludzi w pobliżu. W poprzednim domu potrafiłem jednak spokojnie zostać sam przez około pięć godzin, więc wiem, że czasem trzeba cierpliwie poczekać na powrót opiekuna.Posiadam aktualne szczepienia i odrobaczenie. Czeka mnie jeszcze dokładniejsza diagnostyka, aby mieć pewność, że niczego mi nie brakuje i będę mógł cieszyć się dobrym zdrowiem. Szukam domu, w którym znów będę częścią codzienności. Takiego, gdzie wspólne spacery, zabawa i chwile odpoczynku na kanapie będą czymś zupełnie zwyczajnym. W zamian dam Ci swoje wierne towarzystwo, mnóstwo uśmiechu i ten charakterystyczny beagle'owy nos, który z zainteresowaniem sprawdzi każdy zakamarek świata.Może właśnie u Ciebie znajdę miejsce, w którym znów poczuję się bezpiecznie?

About Franek

What life with Franek looks like

Franek is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.
