How do I contact the shelter about Lolek?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lolek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lolek if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie 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 Lolek 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 Lolek 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 Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lolek 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.

Lolek

Mixed Breed · Male

Lolek is an elderly dog being treated for severe hypothyroidism. Continuity of treatment is necessary for this condition, so in a new home, the treatment must be continued and regular blood tests to check hormone levels are required. He arrived at the Shelter in January 2024 from Tarnow. He is very social, even companionable towards people, but does not tolerate the presence of other dogs in close proximity, so he is looking for a home where he will be the only dog. Lolek is one of the invisible dogs that often walk with visitors, but no one has considered adoption. His temperament can be humorously described by the saying "It doesn't matter how old he is, it matters how he feels," because despite his age, he is an energetic dog, eager to explore and play. During his time in the yard, you often see him happily running and finding his own entertainment. He easily forms a relationship with people. Walks with him are pleasant, and he has no strong tendency to pull on the leash. He will adjust to a house and apartment. The presence of school-age children does not discomfort him. At the Shelter since: January 2024 Relationship with people: social, open Temperament: cheerful, joyful Relationship with dogs: does not tolerate other dogs Relationship with cats: unknown, possible to check Relationship with children: accepts teenagers Identification number: P 34/2024 Kennel:

Lolek jest psem w podeszłym wieku, który jest leczony z powodu silnej niedoczynności tarczycy. W leczeniu tej przypadłości konieczne jest zachowanie ciągłości leczenia, dlatego w nowym domu konieczna będzie kontynuacja leczenia i regularne badania krwi sprawdzające poziom hormonów tarczycy. Trafił do Azylu w styczniu 2024 roku z Tarnowa. Jest bardzo socjalny, wręcz towarzyski w stosunku do ludzi, jednak nie toleruje obecności innych psów w bliskiej przestrzeni, dlatego szuka domu, w którym będzie jedynym psem. Lolek jest jednym z niewidzialnych psów, które często spacerują z odwiedzającymi, jednak nikt nie rozważał adopcji. Jego usposobienie można żartobliwie ująć w powiedzeniu „nieważne ile ma lat, ważne na ile się czuje”, ponieważ mimo swojego wieku, jest psem pełnym energii, skorym do eksploracji i zabawy. Podczas pobytu na wybiegu często widać jak radośnie biega i sam znajduje sobie zabawę. Bardzo płynnie wchodzi w relację z człowiekiem. Spacery z nim są przyjemne, nie ma większej tendencji do ciągnięcia na smyczy Odnajdzie się w domu i w mieszkaniu. Obecność młodzieży w wieku szkolnym nie sprawia mu dyskomfortu. W Azylu od: stycznia 2024 Stosunek do ludzi: socjalny, otwarty Usposobienie: pogodny, radosny Stosunek do psów: nie toleruje innych psów Stosunek do kotów: nieznany, możliwe sprawdzenie Stosunek do dzieci: akceptuje młodzież Numer ewidencyjny: P 34/2024 Boks: 11 Zdjęcia powstały dzięki Tarnowskiemu Towarzystwu Fotograficznemu i Aleksandrze Małochleb

About Lolek

What life with Lolek looks like

Lolek is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Azyl dla Zwierząt w Tarnowie in Tarnów.

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.
