Gilbert arrived with an advanced age and a heart condition. How he ended up on the street, we'll never know… We hope he can still rest in his own home, where he will be loved until the time he has left. Gilbert shuffles at a leisurely pace […]

Gilbert trafił do nas w bardzo zaawansowanym wieku. Z chorym sercem. Jak się znalazł na ulicy? Nigdy się nie dowiemy… Mamy nadzieję, że zdąży jeszcze odpocząć we własnym domu, który pokocha go na czas, który mu pozostał. Gilbert drepta na niespieszne […]

About Gilbert

What life with Gilbert looks like

Gilbert is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Viva Korabiewice in Korabiewice.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gilbert, answered.

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