KOSTEK

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

This exceptional boy is still waiting in the shelter's kennel for his chance at a new, better life. Although fate hasn't always been kind to him, he hasn't lost faith in people. He is a wonderful, extremely sociable dog who clings to humans with his whole dog's heart. He is open, friendly, and can build beautiful relationships with his owner. On a leash, he handles perfectly - he walks very nicely, doesn't pull, and adjusts his pace to the human. Walks with him are a pure pleasure! He accepts other dogs without a problem. He gets along well in their company, which is a huge plus during daily walks. Due to his size or energy, he will best find himself in a home with older children who will be able to spend time with him wisely and with respect. This is a dog with great potential - the perfect companion for both active walks and joint rest on the couch. The only thing he is missing now is his own person and a loving family that will show him what a real, safe home is. Give him a chance, and you will gain a loyal friend for life!

About KOSTEK

What life with KOSTEK looks like

KOSTEK is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Świdnica in Poland.

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 KOSTEK, answered.

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