Adopt Hektor

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Meet Hektor - a senior with a big heart. Hektor came to us on January 20. He is an older dog who instead of a peaceful autumn of life in the warmth of home, ended up in an animal shelter. Yet he deserves now a sofa, warm hands and his person exclusively. He is a real treasure. Enthusiastic, gentle and completely oriented towards people. Hektor loves being petted.

Poznajcie Hektora - seniora z ogromnym sercem. Hektor trafił do nas 20 stycznia. To starszy psiak, który zamiast spokojnej jesieni życia w domowym cieple, znalazł się w schronisku. A przecież najbardziej na świecie zasługuje teraz na kanapę, czułe dłonie i swojego człowieka na wyłączność. To prawdziwy skarb. Przekochany, łagodny i całym sobą nastawiony na ludzi. Hektor uwielbia głaski. Kontakt z opiekunem to dla niego największe szczęście. Chętnie wychodzi na spacerki. Dobrze dogaduje się z innymi psami, jest towarzyski i bezkonfliktowy. Może to właśnie Ty podarujesz mu najpiękniejszy prezent - spokojną, kochaną starość? Jeśli chcesz poznać Hektora bliżej, skontaktuj się z nami. Seniorzy kochają najmocniej.

About Hektor

What life with Hektor looks like

Hektor is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱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 Hektor, answered.

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