KIMBO

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Kimbo is a beautiful, strong dog born in 2022, weighing about 24 kg. He was brought to our care in a heart-wrenching state: he was severely beaten, with a deep, painful wound on his head. What this young, only 4-year-old boy had to endure at the hands of the man he considered his master is forever etched in his eyes. Kimbo is currently very scared, frightened, and deeply withdrawn. Any sudden movement, raised voice or unfamiliar sound makes the boy shrink, seeking shelter in the farthest corner of the box. Despite such terrible harm, there is not a single gram of aggression in Kimbo - he is a dog with a dove's heart, who reacts to fear with complete collapse. Deep in his battered, dog's soul, Kimbo desperately needs wise rescue and someone who will show him that a human hand can feed and caress, not just cause pain. What kind of home and guide are we looking for for Kimbo? Angelic patience and no pressure: We are looking for a tolerant, calm caregiver who will give Kimbo time, space and a full sense of security. The boy must slowly, at his own pace, learn to trust again. Learning from scratch: Kimbo is completely unable to walk on a leash - at the moment, the sight of a collar or leash causes him to fear. The best solution for him would be a house with a safe, well-fenced garden in a very quiet area, where without the pressure of immediate walks he will be able to calm down and slowly get to know the surroundings. Support of a canine resident: This is a huge chance for him! Kimbo fully accepts other dogs and gets along well in their company. The presence of another, stable, gentle four-legged friend in the new home would be the best form of therapy for him - by imitating a canine friend, Kimbo would break his fear much faster. Kimbo went through real hell, and now quietly, with fear in his eyes, he waits for rescue in the shelter box. If you have the willingness, empathy and a big heart to help this hurt boy start a new, safe chapter of life - Kimbo is waiting for you. Give him a safe haven, which he dreams of!

Są w schronisku historie, które wywołują potężny gniew na ludzkie okrucieństwo i ogromne współczucie. Taki właśnie bagaż niewyobrażalnego cierpienia nosi w sobie Kimbo – przepiękny, silnej budowy pies urodzony w 2022 roku, który waży około 24 kg. Kimbo trafił pod naszą opiekę w stanie, który rozdzierał serce: został dotkliwie pobity, z głęboką, bolesną raną na głowie. To, co ten młody, zaledwie 4-letni chłopak musiał przejść z rąk człowieka, którego uważał za swojego pana, na zawsze zapisało się w jego oczach. Kimbo jest obecnie mocno wystraszony, zlękniony i głęboko wycofany. Każdy gwałtowny ruch, podniesiony głos czy nieznany dźwięk sprawiają, że chłopak kuli się w sobie, szukając schronienia w najdalszym kącie boksu. Mimo tak potwornej krzywdy, w Kimbo nie ma ani jednego grama agresji – to pies o gołębim sercu, który na strach reaguje całkowitym zamarciem. W głębi swojej poturbowanej, psiej duszy Kimbo desperacko potrzebuje mądrego ratunku i kogoś, kto pokaże mu, że ludzka ręka może karmić i głaskać, a nie tylko zadawać ból. Jakiego domu i przewodnika szukamy dla Kimbo? Anielska cierpliwość i brak presji: Szukamy wyrozumiałego, spokojnego opiekuna, który podaruje Kimbo czas, przestrzeń i pełne poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Chłopak musi powoli, we własnym tempie, uczyć się zaufania na nowo. Nauka od zera: Kimbo całkowicie nie potrafi chodzić na smyczy – na ten moment sam widok obroży czy smyczy wywołuje w nim lęk. Najlepszym rozwiązaniem byłby dla niego dom z bezpiecznym, dobrze ogrodzonym ogrodem w bardzo cichej okolicy, gdzie bez presji natychmiastowych spacerów będzie mógł wyciszyć się i powoli poznawać otoczenie. Wsparcie psiego rezydenta: To dla niego ogromna szansa! Kimbo w pełni akceptuje inne psy i świetnie odnajduje się w ich towarzystwie. Obecność drugiego, stabilnego, łagodnego czworonoga w nowym domu byłaby dla niego najlepszą formą terapii – naśladując psiego przyjaciela, Kimbo znacznie szybciej przełamałby swój strach. Kimbo przeszedł przez prawdziwe piekło, a teraz cichutko, z lękiem w oczach, czeka na ratunek w schroniskowym boksie. Jeśli masz w sobie gotowość, empatię i wielkie serce, by pomóc temu skrzywdzonemu chłopakowi rozpocząć nowy, bezpieczny rozdział życia – Kimbo czeka właśnie na Ciebie. Podaruj mu bezpieczną przystań, o jakiej marzy!

About KIMBO

What life with KIMBO looks like

KIMBO is a large puppy 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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting KIMBO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about KIMBO?
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 KIMBO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt KIMBO 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is KIMBO 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 KIMBO 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 KIMBO 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.
