How do I contact the shelter about Michaś?

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

Can I adopt Michaś 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 Michaś 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 Michaś 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 Michaś 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.

Michaś

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Meet 12-year-old Michasi, we already know this boy, he has been with us for about 5 years and is a true resident of the animal shelter. Unfortunately, few people can see more than that in this black, larger dog, who also needs a little time to be convinced by someone. Michaś is a great walker and although he has his years, really long walks make him very happy. Michaś loves his stuffed bear, and if someone catches his eye, he turns into it himself, so his initial distance is just an illusion. Unfortunately, no one has ever seriously considered his adoption, even though he is a very kind, smiling and wise dog. In previous years, he could show his temperament in contact with other dogs, but right now it can be said that his social skills are at a good level. He keeps waiting, always waiting and we don't know if he still dreams of having a home, but we are counting on it. We are looking for a place for him away from noise, in a quiet neighborhood and people who simply want to look into his eyes. Michaś is currently located near Poznan and is under the care of the Association From the Forest Area, which manages the adoption process and reserves the right to choose the caregiver.

Poznajcie Michasia, z tym Chłopakiem już się trochę znamy, jest z nami około 5 lat i jest prawdziwym rezydentem schroniska. Michaś to świetny spacerowicz i choć ma już swoje lata, to naprawdę długie wędrówki sprawiają mu ogromną radość. Michaś uwielbia swoje pluszowe Misie, a jak ktoś wpadnie mu w oko, to sam się w niego zamienia, więc jego początkowy dystans to tylko pozory. Niestety nikt, nigdy poważnie się nie zastanawiał nad Jego adopcją, chociaż jest bardzo miłym i uśmiechniętym i mądrym psem. Czeka, ciągle czeka i nie wiemy czy w ogóle jeszcze marzy o tym, że będzie kiedyś miał dom, ale my bardzo na to liczymy. Michaś urodzony w 2014 roku jest średniej wielkości psem. Szukamy dla niego miejsca z dala od hałasów, w spokojnej okolicy i ludzi, którzy po prostu będą chcieli przeglądać się w jego oczach. Chłopak dogada się również z miłym i spokojnym psem. Michaś przebywa aktualnie niedaleko Poznania i znajduje się pod opieką Stowarzyszenia Ze Skraju Lasu, które prowadzi proces adopcyjny i zastrzega sobie prawo do wyboru opiekuna. Prosimy o kontakt sms-owy pod nr oddzwonimy!)

About Michaś

What life with Michaś looks like

Michaś is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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.
