Kostek

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Kostek is a 6-year-old boy who came to us from Ukraine. The dog is somewhat reserved and distrustful. He needs some time to open up to people. He knows how to walk on a leash. He gets along well with other dogs. He is rather not suitable for a home with children. He needs a caregiver who can show Kostkowi the world from a better side.

PL·Show original

Kostek to ok. 6 letni chłopak, który trafił do nas z Ukrainy. Psiak jest nieco wycofany i nieufny. Potrzebuje trochę czasu żeby otworzyć się na człowieka. Umie chodzić na smyczy. Rewelacyjnie dogaduje się z innymi psami. Raczej nie nadaje się do domu z dziećmi. Potrzebuje opiekuna, który ze spokojem pokarze Kostkowi świat z lepszej strony.

About Kostek

What life with Kostek looks like

Kostek is a medium-sized 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 Kostek, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kostek?
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 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 — 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 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 Fundacja Puszatek 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.
