How do I contact the shelter about Marco?

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

Can I adopt Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco 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.

Marco

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Marco is looking for a responsible home! Marco is about 4 years old and arrived at our animal shelter on April 14th of this year. This is a beautiful, well-built dog weighing around 23 kg, with characteristics typical of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. From the very first day, he quickly trusted his new caretakers. We quickly fell in love with his wonderful personality. Marco is a very social, loving, and yearning for human closeness dog. He enjoys spending time with people and builds beautiful relationships with those he trusts. Unfortunately, we do not know his past. However, we do know that Marco has a hard time in contact with other dogs and sometimes reacts with fear and aggression. It is important to remember that the animal shelter is a very difficult place: noise, stress, and constant emotions often exacerbate such behaviors. We believe that Marco has great potential, and with proper handling, a lot can be developed with him. We are looking for a home for him that is aware, responsible, and active. Ideally, with someone who knows the specifics of dogs of this breed or ready to work with a behaviorist. Marco deserves a person who will show him peace, safety, and give him a chance at a new life. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Marco szuka odpowiedzialnego domu! Marco ma około 4 lat i trafił do naszego schroniska 14 kwietnia tego roku. To piękny, masywnie zbudowany psiak ważący około 23 kg, w którym można dostrzec cechy w typie Staffordshire Bull Terriera. Od pierwszego dnia bardzo szybko zaufał nowym opiekunom. My równie szybko pokochaliśmy jego cudowny charakter. Marco jest psiakiem bardzo kontaktowym, kochanym i spragnionym bliskości człowieka. Uwielbia spędzać czas z ludźmi i pięknie buduje relację z osobami, którym zaufa. Niestety nie znamy jego przeszłości. Wiemy jednak, że Marco źle odnajduje się w kontakcie z innymi psami i zdarza mu się reagować lękiem i agresją. Trzeba jednak pamiętać, że schronisko jest bardzo trudnym miejscem: hałas, stres i ciągłe emocje często potęgują takie zachowania. Wierzymy, że Marco ma ogromny potencjał i przy odpowiednim prowadzeniu można wypracować z nim naprawdę wiele. Szukamy dla niego domu świadomego, odpowiedzialnego i aktywnego. Najlepiej u osoby znającej specyfikę psów w typie tej rasy lub gotowej do pracy z behawiorystą. Marco zasługuje na człowieka, który pokaże mu spokój, bezpieczeństwo i da mu szansę na nowe życie. Jest wykastrowany, odrobaczony, zaszczepiony i zaczipowany.

About Marco

What life with Marco looks like

Marco is a large 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.
