Mike

Male · Senior · 11 years

Meet Mike the older dog, who still has a huge reserve of energy and joy. Although his youth is behind him, his heart beats like that of a young man. In the kennel it's hard for him to find his way, he circles around and gets excited, but just going out for a walk makes all the tension disappear. Then he becomes a completely different dog, friendly, social and curious about the world. Mike will be a great companion for people who value long walks and activity, but also know how to appreciate an older dog. He is not a dog who is satisfied with just "running around the yard", he needs contact with a person and shared activities. Perfect for someone who wants a loyal companion in everyday life, and at the same time understands that an older dog deserves peace and care. We are looking for a home where Mike will not be left alone, because he loves people and their presence the most. He gets along well with children, and if you have a dog, it's worth coming for a meeting, there's a good chance they will like each other. For Mike, what matters most is to have his own person and to be able to spend time with him every day.

Poznaj Mike’a starszego psa, który wciąż ma w sobie ogromne pokłady energii i radości. Choć lata młodości ma już za sobą, serce bije mu jak u młodego chłopaka. W kojcu trudno mu się odnaleźć, kręci się w kółko i wariuje z emocji, ale wystarczy wyjść z nim na spacer, a całe napięcie znika. Wtedy staje się zupełnie innym psem, towarzyskim, kontaktowym i ciekawym świata. Mike będzie świetnym towarzyszem dla osób, które cenią długie spacery i aktywność, ale też potrafią docenić dojrzałego psa. To nie jest psiak, któremu wystarczy samo „latanie” po podwórku, on potrzebuje kontaktu z człowiekiem i wspólnych zajęć. Idealny dla kogoś, kto chce mieć wiernego kompana w codziennym życiu, a przy tym rozumie, że starszy pies zasługuje na spokój i troskę. Szukamy domu, w którym Mike nie będzie zostawiany sam sobie, bo najbardziej na świecie kocha ludzi i ich obecność. Świetnie dogaduje się z dziećmi, a jeśli macie psa, warto przyjechać na zapoznanie, jest duża szansa, że się polubią. Dla Mike’a najważniejsze będzie to, by mieć swojego człowieka i codziennie móc dzielić z nim czas.

About Mike

What life with Mike looks like

Mike is a small senior dog waiting at Funny Pets Czartki in Poland.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mike, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mike?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Funny Pets Czartki handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mike on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mike if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Funny Pets Czartki 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 Mike 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 Mike 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 Funny Pets Czartki early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mike 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.
