How do I contact the shelter about KAPITAN?

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

Can I adopt KAPITAN 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 KAPITAN 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 KAPITAN 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 KAPITAN 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.

KAPITAN

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 14 months

KAPITAN has been at the animal shelter since November 29, 2017. He was running on Szpitalna Street in Konin. He is an energetic, joyful, and enthusiastic dog. When he gets to know a person well, he can become attached to them, but he is not the type of cuddler who gives kisses. He rather enjoys spending time together, and does not need to physically express his feelings. 😊 Unfortunately, KAPITAN has elephant-like manners in a porcelain setting, so it would be better if he were to go to a home without children who he might accidentally knock over while running. KAPITAN walks very well on a leash. 😀 At first, after leaving the animal shelter, he pulls a bit, but once that initial excitement passes, he becomes a fantastic walker, with whom you happily go on walking adventures. 😍 Captain's great passion is water. 💦💧🏖️ He lies in puddles, and goes into the lake like a beaver into Carol in "The Honey Years". 😂 He reacts differently to other dogs. He can walk together with a smaller female dog (Arletka) and does not protest about her company. Everything needs to be checked out. 😊 The dog has a sick eye, which is probably a complication from a previous illness. He sees very little, if at all. The eye does not require drops, and KAPITAN manages very well on his own. He does not run into obstacles, and he navigates his surroundings well. It does not seem to be any inconvenience for him. The guy has already had the neutering operation. With a longing look, he is looking for a warm home where he will finally feel loved.

Kapitan zamieszkał w schronisku 29 listopada 2017r. Biegał po ul. Szpitalnej w Koninie. To energiczny, pełen radości i zapału psiak. Kiedy dobrze pozna człowieka, potrafi się do niego przywiązać, ale nie jest typem przytulasa rozdającego całuski. Bardziej cieszy się ze wspólnie spędzonego czasu, nie musi w sposób fizyczny manifestować swoich uczuć. 😊 Niestety Kapitan ma maniery słonia w składzie porcelany, dlatego lepiej by było, gdyby trafił do domu bez dzieci, które mógłby w rozpędzie przewrócić. Kapitan świetnie chodzi na smyczy. 😀 Na samym początku po wyjściu ze schroniska chwilę ciągnie, ale kiedy mnie ta pierwsza radość, jest rewelacyjnym spacerowiczem, z którym z przyjemnością wychodzi się na piesze wędrówki. 😍 Wielką namiętnością Kapitana jest woda. 💦💧🏖️ To pies, który kładzie się w kałużach, a do jeziora wchodzi jak Norek do Karola w „Miodowych Latach”. 😂 Na inne pieski reaguje różnie. Potrafi spacerować wspólnie z mniejszą suczką (Arletką) i nie protestuje z powodu jej towarzystwa. Wszystko do sprawdzenia. 😊 Psiak ma chore oko, jest to prawdopodobnie powikłanie po przebytej chorobie. Widzi na nie niewiele, jeśli w ogóle. Oczko nie wymaga jednak zakraplania, a sam Kapitan radzi sobie świetnie. Nie wpada na przeszkody, dobrze odnajduje się w otoczeniu. Nie widać, żeby było stanowiło to dla niego jakąkolwiek niedogodność. Chłopak przeszedł już zabieg kastracji. Tęsknym wzrokiem wypatruje ciepłego domku, w którym w końcu poczuje się kochany. ♥️🥹

About KAPITAN

What life with KAPITAN looks like

KAPITAN 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.
