Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Adopt Mike vel. Pępuszek

American Bully · Male · Adult · 8 years

Mike vel. Pępuszek is a dog of the American Bully XL type, so he has the corresponding dimensions 🙂. He came to us because his previous owners decided they would no longer take care of him. We do not understand this decision, because Mike is a gentle dog who loves people very much. On walks he nicely walks on a leash, he easily finds his way in the city, but he does not like other dogs, which combined with his size means that his caregiver should be someone who is physically able to handle such a dog. In 2023 at the Adopt Warsaw Dog event in Skaryszewski Park, he behaved perfectly, despite the crowds and a large number of dogs. Similarly perfectly showed himself in 2024 at the same event in Agrykola Park, even brilliantly showing himself on television by exposing his belly in front of the camera in anticipation of cuddles. Mike had hopes for a permanent home. He was adopted. However, his happiness did not last long, because although we informed about Mike's attitude towards other animals, he returned, because... for example, he ran along the fence after a cat located on the other side, and followed people step by step, happy that he had a home again. Unfortunately, he did not get a chance from the people he trusted and returned to the shelter box after three days. Mike vel. Pępuszek, in a home, should be an only dog due to his attitude towards other animals. Additionally, due to his size, we are looking for a home for him without small children.

Mike vel. Pępuszek to pies w typie american bully xl, więc posiada stosowne gabaryty 🙂. Trafił do nas, ponieważ poprzedni opiekunowie uznali, że nie będą się nim dłużej zajmować. Nie rozumiemy tej decyzji, bo Mike to przemiły pies, który bardzo mocno kocha ludzi. Na spacerach ładnie chodzi na smyczy, dobrze odnajduje się w mieście, natomiast nie przepada za innymi psami, co w połączeniu z jego gabarytem sprawia, że jego opiekunem powinien być ktoś, kto fizycznie podoła prowadzeniu takiego psa. W roku 2023 na akcji Adoptuj Warszawiaka w parku Skaryszewskim zachowywał się wzorowo, pomimo tłumów i dużej ilości psów. Tak samo wzorowo pokazał się w roku 2024 na tej samej akcji w Parku Agrykola, nawet rewelacyjnie pokazując się w telewizji pokazując swój prawdziwy charakter czyli wystawiając przed samą kamerą brzuch w oczekiwaniu na pieszczoty. Mike przez chwilę miał nadzieję na stały dom. Został adoptowany. Jego radość jednak nie trwała długo, ponieważ mimo, że informowaliśmy o stosunku Mikea do innych zwierząt ten wrócił, ponieważ… m.in. ganiał wzdłuż płotu za kotem znajdującym się po drugiej stronie oraz podążał za ludźmi krok w krok ciesząc się, że znów ma dom. Niestety, nie otrzymał szansy od ludzi, którym zaufał i wrócił do schroniskowego boksu po trzech dniach. Mike vel. Pępuszek, w domu powinien jedynakiem ze względu na stosunek do innych zwierząt. Dodatkowo ze względu na jego gabaryt szukamy dla niego domu bez małych dzieci. Agata 602395583 Marcin 535920620

About Mike vel. Pępuszek

What life with Mike vel. Pępuszek looks like

Mike vel. Pępuszek is a large adult american bully dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Needs to be only pet, requires physically strong handler, not suitable for homes with small children

🇵🇱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.
