How do I contact the shelter about OLAF?

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

Can I adopt OLAF 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 OLAF 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 OLAF 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 OLAF 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.

OLAF

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Olaf is a small, gentle boy born in 2016 (now around 10 years old) who has lost everything in one moment. He was brought to Psiakowo after the death of his beloved owner. From a warm, safe couch and familiar arms, he was thrown into the noisy, foreign world of a shelter box. Olaf weighs only 10 kg - a fragile, small dog who is very lost and disoriented in his new reality. Despite great sadness and traumatic stress, there is no aggression in Olaf. He is an incredibly gentle, quiet and delicate dog. He is a bit lost - with a longing gaze, he looks for a familiar face and seeks a point of support in the form of a kind human. In contact with volunteers, he is very nice and very accommodating, accepting every caress, calm and warm gesture with great gratitude. He simply does not understand why he lost everything he knew. The shelter box and hard bedding are the worst places to spend the autumn of life for such a sensitive senior. Olaf urgently needs home peace to quietly mourn his loss and slowly open his heart to new hope. Why does the fate-afflicted Olaf need you? A small, handy treasure: Weighing only 10 kg, Olaf is a compact dog that will fit perfectly in any apartment or house. An oasis of gentleness and culture: Olaf is a well-mannered dog with wonderful manners - he does not impose himself, does not make noise, is infinitely delicate and balanced. A chance to rebuild the world: Adopting a senior after the death of a caregiver is the most beautiful gesture you can make. Olaf needs only time, patience and a quiet daily rhythm to believe again that he is safe. We are looking for a home for Olaf

Są w schronisku adopcje, które nie są zwykłym przygarnięciem psa, ale prawdziwym ratowaniem życia. Olaf to drobny, przemiły chłopak urodzony w 2016 roku (ma obecnie około 10 lat), dla którego świat w jednej chwili legł w gruzach. Trafił do Psiakowa po śmierci swojej ukochanej właścicielki. Z ciepłej, bezpiecznej kanapy i znanych ramion został wrzucony w hałaśliwy, obcy świat schroniskowego boksu. Olaf waży zaledwie 10 kg – to kruchutki, mały piesek, który w nowej rzeczywistości jest mocno zagubiony i zdezorientowany. Mimo wielkiego smutku i przeżytego traumatycznego stresu, w Olafie nie ma ani krzty agresji. To piesek niesamowicie łagodny, cichutki i delikatny. Jest ciut zagubiony – tęsknym wzrokiem wypatruje znanej twarzy i szuka punktu zaczepienia w postaci życzliwego człowieka. W kontakcie z wolontariuszami jest przemiły i bardzo ugodowy, z ogromną wdzięcznością przyjmując każde głaskanie, spokój i ciepły gest. On po prostu nie rozumie, dlaczego stracił wszystko, co znał. Schroniskowy boks i twarde legowisko to najgorsze miejsce na spędzanie jesieni życia dla tak wrażliwego seniora. Olaf pilnie potrzebuje domowego spokoju, by w ciszy opłakać swoją stratę i powolutku otworzyć serce na nową nadzieję. Dlaczego skrzywdzony przez los Olaf potrzebuje właśnie Ciebie? Niewielki, poręczny skarbek: Ważąc zaledwie 10 kg, Olaf to kompaktowy piesek, który perfekcyjnie odnajdzie się w każdym mieszkaniu czy domu. Oaza łagodności i kultury: Olaf to pies ułożony, o wspaniałych manierach – nie narzuca się, nie hałasuje, jest bezgranicznie delikatny i zrównoważony. Szansa na odbudowanie świata: Adopcja seniora po śmierci opiekuna to najpiękniejszy gest, jaki można wykonać. Olaf potrzebuje jedynie czasu, cierpliwości i spokojnego rytmu dnia, by na nowo uwierzyć, że jest bezpieczny. Szukamy dla Olafa domu

About OLAF

What life with OLAF looks like

OLAF is a small 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.
