Adopt KERIK

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Well. 2021 Weight 9 kg Gmina BOLIMÓW sterilization YES Other dogs YES KERIK - hurt by a human, still believes in kindness 🐾 KERIK is a tiny, weighing only 8.5 kg dog born in 2021. He came under our care from an intervention in a condition that is hard to describe with words - with a leather belt/chain embedded in the neck... It is a painful testimony of years of neglect and great suffering experienced by this little one. Despite such a traumatic past, KERIK did not completely close his heart. There is still a quiet hope in his eyes. He is very scared, trembling at the sight of sudden movements, but behind this shell of fear lies a dog who desperately craves safety and tenderness. KERIK is slowly learning that human touch does not have to mean pain, but can be a sign of care and love. Why does KERIK need you specifically? Small size: At 8.5 kg, KERIK is a dog perfect for an apartment, dreaming of a safe corner on the couch. Herd support:

Ur. ok. 2021 Waga 9 kg Gmina BOLIMÓW Kastracja TAK Inne psy TAK Kerik – skrzywdzony przez człowieka, wciąż wierzy w dobro 🐾 Kerik to maleńki, ważący zaledwie 8,5 kg piesek urodzony w 2021 roku. Trafił pod naszą opiekę z interwencji w stanie, który trudno opisać słowami – ze skórzanym paskiem/łańcuchem wrośniętym w szyję… To bolesne świadectwo lat zaniedbania i ogromnego cierpienia, jakiego doświadczył ten kruszynka. Mimo tak traumatycznej przeszłości, Kerik nie zamknął całkowicie swojego serca. W jego oczach wciąż tli się cicha nadzieja. Jest mocno wystraszony, drży na widok gwałtownych ruchów, ale pod tą skorupą lęku kryje się piesek, który rozpaczliwie pragnie bezpieczeństwa i czułości. Kerik powoli uczy się, że dotyk człowieka nie musi oznaczać bólu, a może być zapowiedzią troski i miłości. Dlaczego Kerik potrzebuje właśnie Ciebie? Niewielki format: Przy wadze 8,5 kg Kerik to piesek idealny do mieszkania, który marzy o bezpiecznym kąciku na kanapie. Wsparcie stada: Kerik akceptuje

About KERIK

What life with KERIK looks like

KERIK is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Sos Psiakowo Centrum Adopcyjne in 99-423.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting KERIK, answered.

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