Merlin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 1 month

Meet Merlin! This little volcano of energy came into our care on July 3rd from Sompolno. Merlin is about a year old, weighs 11 kg and is absolutely unique! He has a lovely yellow coat and an overbite. This young dog is bursting with life. He's everywhere! Since his first day at the shelter, he has unconditionally trusted the caregivers. He begs for attention from the doorway, demands petting and wants to be as close to humans as possible. ❤️ Merlin loves walks! Every time he leaves the kennel, it's a big adventure for him. Because he's very curious about everything around him and is full of energy, he can still pull quite hard on the leash. Most dogs accept him. If he were to live in a home where there is already another dog, a prior introductory walk would be necessary. 🐕 We don't know his reaction to cat company, because we haven't had the opportunity to check this in the shelter. Merlin is the perfect candidate for an active person or family who is looking for a cheerful, lively companion for long trips and is willing to devote time to training a young dog and working on leash walking. He is neutered, dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Poznajcie Merlina! Ten mały wulkan energii trafił pod naszą opiekę 3 lipca z gminy Sompolno. Merlin ma około roku, waży 11 kg i jest absolutnie wyjątkowy! Ma śliczną, żółtą sierść oraz przodozgryz. To młodziutki piesek, który wprost rozpiera radość życia. Wszędzie go pełno! Od pierwszego dnia w schronisku bezgranicznie zaufał opiekunom. Od progu prosi o uwagę, dopomina się głaskania i chce być jak najbliżej człowieka. ❤️ Merlin kocha spacery! Każde wyjście z kojca to dla niego wielka przygoda. Ponieważ jest bardzo ciekawy wszystkiego wokół i roznosi go energia, potrafi jeszcze dość mocno pociągnąć na smyczy. Większość psiaków akceptuje. Jeśli miałby zamieszkać w domu, w którym jest już inny pies, konieczny będzie wcześniejszy spacer zapoznawczy. 🐕 Nie znamy jego reakcji na kocie towarzystwo, ponieważ nie mieliśmy okazji tego sprawdzić w schronisku. Merlin to idealny kandydat dla osoby lub rodziny aktywnej, która szuka wesołego, żywiołowego kompana na długie wycieczki i chętnie poświęci czas na ułożenie młodego psa oraz pracę nad nauką chodzenia na smyczy.💛 Jest wykastrowany, odrobaczony, zaszczepiony i zaczipowany.

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin 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 Merlin, answered.

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