How do I contact the shelter about Łatek?

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 Łatek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Łatek 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 Łatek 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 Łatek 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 Łatek 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.

LATEK IS LOOKING FOR A HOME ❤️ Latek is about 5 years old and... it's hard to believe we didn't know him from this side until recently. For 4 years he lived in a shelter without walks. He was one of the dogs from the hall - very scared, withdrawn, sometimes reacting with fear aggression. The world and people were just too difficult for him. After moving to a single kennel, small but huge things started to happen for Latek. 🥹❤️ First, he was able to put on a collar. Then the harness. And later... Latek went for a walk for the first time in his life and felt the grass under his paws. 🌱🐕 And that's why today we can say: Latek is ready to start looking for his human. ❤️ But we won't pretend that he will immediately jump on a stranger's lap and run with them around the world. Latek needs a moment to trust. He needs a calm, patient person who won't rush anything and will let him discover at his own pace that a person can mean something good. He's just making up for four lost years. Every walk, every calm approach, every moment when he chooses contact instead of escape - it's a huge step for him. 🥹 We are looking for a conscious and patient home for Latek, who will be ready to give him time. In return, you can get something really special - the opportunity to observe how a dog that has been afraid for years finally starts to trust. ❤️ 📞 For adoption: 84 641 12 86 783 856 089 Latek has already taken his first step. Now we hope that someone will help him take the next one. 🐾❤️

🐾 ŁATEK SZUKA DOMU ❤️ Łatek ma około 5 lat i… aż trudno uwierzyć, że jeszcze niedawno nie znaliśmy go z tej strony. Przez 4 lata mieszkał w schronisku bez spacerów. Był jednym z psów z hali – mocno wystraszonych, wycofanych, czasem reagujących agresją ze strachu. Człowiek i cały świat były dla niego po prostu zbyt trudne. Po przeprowadzce do pojedynczego kojca zaczęły dziać się małe, ale dla Łatka ogromne rzeczy. 🥹❤️ Najpierw udało się założyć mu obrożę. Potem szelki. A później… Łatek po raz pierwszy w swoim życiu wyszedł na spacer i poczuł pod łapami trawę. 🌱🐕 I właśnie dlatego dzisiaj możemy powiedzieć: Łatek jest gotowy, żeby zacząć szukać swojego człowieka. ❤️ Ale nie będziemy udawać, że od razu będzie psem, który wskoczy obcej osobie na kolana i pobiegnie z nią przez świat. Łatek potrzebuje chwili, żeby zaufać. Potrzebuje spokojnego, cierpliwego człowieka, który nie będzie niczego przyspieszał i pozwoli mu we własnym tempie odkrywać, że człowiek może oznaczać coś dobrego. On dopiero nadrabia cztery lata straconego czasu. Każdy spacer, każde spokojne podejście, każda chwila, w której wybiera kontakt zamiast ucieczki – to dla niego ogromny krok. 🥹 Szukamy dla Łatka świadomego i cierpliwego domu, który będzie gotowy dać mu czas. W zamian można dostać coś naprawdę wyjątkowego – możliwość obserwowania, jak pies, który przez lata się bał, zaczyna wreszcie ufać. ❤️ 📞 W sprawie adopcji: 84 641 12 86 783 856 089 Łatek już zrobił swój pierwszy krok. Teraz mamy nadzieję, że znajdzie się ktoś, kto pomoże mu zrobić kolejne. 🐾❤️

About Łatek

What life with Łatek looks like

Łatek 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.
