Adopt Papcio

Male

Virtual caregivers Papia are Ola and Paweł Papcio, who is an approximately 5-year-old puppy that arrived with us from Gmina Ostrów Mazowiecka, from the premises of Stare Lubiejewo at School Street 15. As of today, he approaches his new environment with a distance, which is evident from the photos and the absence of a caregiver on them, so we must patiently wait until he gets a little more accustomed. Papcio had no problem being put on a leash to go out into the yard and get to know his new surroundings. Despite the noise he found here, he was not aggressive towards other dogs, and he showed no interest in the kittens under his nose. We are certain about one thing—when the dog gets more accustomed to his new environment and new faces, he will definitely be a great friend. It’s clear from him that he very much wants a person nearby. Slowly but surely, we are making progress 😊 DO NOT BUY – ADOPT!

Wirtualnymi opiekunami Papcia są Ola i Paweł Papcio to około 5 letni piesek, który przyjechał do nas z Gmin Ostrów Mazowiecka, z terenu Stare Lubiejewo z ulicy Szkolnej 15. Na dzień dzisiejszy z dystansem podchodzi do nowego otoczenia co widać po zdjęciach i braku obecności opiekuna na nich, więc musimy cierpliwie czekać aż piesio troszeczkę się oswoi. Papcio bez problemu dał sobie założyć smycz aby wyjść na teren i zapoznać się z nowym otoczeniem. Pomimo hałasu jaki tu zastał nie był agresywny do innych piesków, nie przejawiał w żaden sposób zainteresowania zwierzaczkami, które ma pod nosem. Jesteśmy pewni co do jednego- gdy piesio oswoi się już z nowym otoczeniem i nowymi twarzami to na pewno będzie super przyjacielem widać po nim, że bardzo chce mieć człowieka koło siebie, powolutku robimy postępy 😊 NIE KUPUJ – ADOPTUJ!

About Papcio

What life with Papcio looks like

Papcio is a large adult dog waiting at Fundacja Przyjaciele Braci Mniejszych in Poland.

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.

🇵🇱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 Papcio, answered.

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