Krecik

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 14 months

Krecik—will he ever get to know what a real home is? He’s about 14 years old and came to our shelter in 2013... For thirteen years, the world kept moving forward, while for Krecik, time seemed to stand still behind the shelter’s fence. Despite such an enormous wealth of experience, this little, wonderful old man still exudes immense warmth and trust. Krecik is loyal and devoted. He loves his caregivers deeply. Once he gets to know someone and grows fond of them, he becomes the sweetest, most grateful creature under the sun. It’s only this year that Krecik started going on regular walks—and he absolutely fell in love with them! Although age is taking its toll and he no longer needs multi-kilometer-long adventures, walks with him are peaceful, and when Krecik decides it’s time to rest, he politely shows us it’s time to head back to his safe little corner. He’s a completely conflict-free dog. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would happily live in a home with another calm, gentle four-legged companion. We don’t know his direct reaction to cats yet; given his exceptionally gentle and well-balanced nature, there’s a very good chance he’d accept feline company without any problems. For Krecik, we’re looking for a calm home filled with empathy and love. Ideally, it would be an apartment on the ground floor or a house with a garden (without having to climb many stairs). Most importantly, what this senior gentleman needs right now is a soft bed, a full food bowl, and someone who’ll gently stroke his gray muzzle. We can’t turn back time, but we can make sure that Krecik’s autumn years become the most beautiful period of his entire life. Help us write a happy ending for him! He’s neutered, dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Krecik - czy zdąży poznać, czym jest prawdziwy dom? Ma około 14 lat, a do naszego schroniska trafił w 2013 roku... Przez trzynaście lat świat szedł do przodu, a dla Krecika czas płynął za schroniskowym ogrodzeniem. Mimo tak ogromnego bagażu doświadczeń, ten mały, cudowny dziadziuś wciąż ma w sobie ogromne pokłady ciepła i zaufania. Krecik jest wierny i oddany. Bardzo kocha swoich opiekunów. Gdy kogoś pozna i polubi, staje się najmilszym, najbardziej wdzięcznym stworzeniem pod słońcem. Dopiero od tego roku Krecik zaczął wychodzić na regularne spacery i... absolutnie je pokochał! Choć wiek robi swoje i nie potrzebuje już wielokilometrowych wypraw. Spacery z nim są spokojne, a gdy Krecik uzna, że pora odpocząć, sam grzecznie pokazuje, że czas wracać do swojego bezpiecznego kącika. To pies całkowicie bezkonfliktowy. Rewelacyjnie dogaduje się z innymi psami i chętnie zamieszka w domu z innym, spokojnym czworonogiem. Nie znamy jego bezpośredniej reakcji na koty, biorąc pod uwagę jego niezwykle łagodny, zrównoważony charakter, istnieje ogromna szansa, że bez problemu zaakceptuje kocie towarzystwo. Dla Krecika szukamy domu spokojnego, pełnego empatii i miłości. Idealne byłoby mieszkanie na parterze lub dom z ogrodem (bez konieczności pokonywania wielu schodów). Najważniejsze, czego ten starszy pan teraz potrzebuje, to miękkie legowisko, pełna miska i człowiek, który pogłaszcze go po siwym pyszczku. Czasu nie cofniemy, ale możemy sprawić, by jesień życia Krecika była najpiękniejszym okresem w jego całym życiu. Pomóż nam napisać dla niego szczęśliwe zakończenie! Jest wykastrowany, odrobaczony, zaszczepiony i zaczipowany.

About Krecik

What life with Krecik looks like

Krecik is a small 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 Krecik, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Krecik?
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 Krecik on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Krecik 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 Krecik 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 Krecik 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 Krecik 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.
