‼SENIOR PICUŚ HAS SPENT HALF HIS LIFE BEHIND BARS – WILL SOMEONE LOVE THIS CHATTERBOX DACHSHUND?⁉️ He once had a home and his own person. It was not a good place, because he served as a free alarm system😗 He was supposed to bark and be fierce, and that was the only reason he got food. One day his usefulness as a free alarm came to an end🖤 He ended up on the street, and as a result behind the bars of the Shelter, where he still lives. Unfortunately, he carried over a talkative nature from his previous life – it's his curse, and it means nobody wants to take him home💔 He has spent half his life behind bars because nobody asks about him. All his youth slipped away in a shelter pen😗 His muzzle has turned gray, he has aged, and the end is getting closer. He is now 12 years old and still homeless and alone. Nobody wants a talking dachshund – after all, why would anyone want such a dog? He still waits, though with less and less faith that he won't leave this life behind bars🖤 That someone special will come along and hold his little paw as he passes away🆘 Will someone give me a chance at a happy life? Will a good home be found for me? He is:🔹shy at first contact, but has no aggression in him🔹needs time to get to know his new family🔹and once he does, he gives his whole heart🔹knows how to walk on a leash and enjoys active walks🔹after getting acquainted, he can live with another dog or female dog What kind of home he is looking for:▪️full of love and family warmth▪️patient, giving him time to adjust at first▪️active, because despite his age he still loves long walks▪️without small children, because from excitement he sometimes nips▪️he will be a wonderful companion for a family or a single person▪️preferably a home with a garden – because of his talkativeness – not a pen or a doghouse▪️where he will be a full member of the family WILL A SPECIAL HOME FULL OF LOVE AND FAMILY WARMTH BE FOUND FOR PICUŚ? Picuś is:✔️ vaccinated✔️ microchipped✔️ neutered WHO WILL GIVE PICUŚ A SPECIAL HOME? 📍 He is waiting for a new home at the Shelter in Zawiercie 📞Adoption contact: 730 505 255, 515 131 350

‼SENIOREK PICUŚ PÓŁ ŻYCIA ZA KRATAMI – CZY KTOŚ POKOCHA JAMNIKA GADUŁĘ⁉️ Kiedyś miał dom i swojego człowieka. Nie było to dobre miejsce, bo służył jako darmowy alarm😗Miał szczekać i być groźny, to był bo za to dostawał jeść. Pewnego dnia jego przydatność jako darmowego alarmu się skońćzyła🖤Trafił na ulicę, a w efekcie za kraty Schroniska, gdzie nadal mieszka. Niestety z poprzedniego życia zostało mu gadulstwo – to jego przekleństwo, które sprawia, że nikt go nie chce zabrać do domu💔 Pół życia spędził za kratami, bo nikt o niego nie pyta. Cała młodość mu uciekła w schroniskowym kojcu😗Posiwiał mu pyszczek, postarzał się, coraz mu bliżej za TM. Obecnie ma 12 lat i nadal jest bezdomny i samotny. Nikt nie chce gadającego jamnika – bo po co komuś taki pies? On nadal czeka chociaż z coraz mniejszą wiarą, że nie odejdzie za kratami🖤Że znajdzie się ktoś wyjątkowy, kto potrzyma go za łapkę, gdy będzie odchodził za TM🆘Czy ktoś da mi szansę na szczęśliwe życie? Czy znajdzie się dla mnie dobry domek? Jaki jest:🔹nieśmiały w pierwszym kontakcie, ale nie ma w nim agresji🔹potrzebuje czasu na poznanie nowej rodzinki🔹a jak pozna to oddaje całe swoje serduszko🔹umie chodzić na smyczy i lubi aktywne spacerki🔹po zapoznaniu może zamieszkać z innym psem lub suczką Jakiego domu szuka:▪️pełnego miłości i rodzinnego ciepła▪️cierpliwego, który da mu czas na początkową aklimatyzację▪️aktywnego, bo pomimo swojego wieku nadal kocha długie spacerki▪️bez małych dzieci, bo z ekscytacji zdarza mu się uszczypać▪️będzie wspaniałym towarzyszem dla rodziny, lub osoby samotnej▪️preferowany dom z ogrodem – ze względu na jego gadulstwo – nie do kojca ani do budy▪️gdzie będzie pełnoprawnym członkiem rodziny CZY ZNAJDZIE SIĘ WYJĄTKOWY DOMEK PEŁEN MIŁOŚCI I RODZINNEGO CIEPŁA DLA PICUSIA? Picuś jest:✔️ zaszczepiony✔️zachipowany✔️wykastrowany KTO PODARUJE PICUSIOWI WYJĄTKOWY DOMEK? 📍 Na nowy domek czeka w Schronisku w Zawierciu 📞Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: 730 505 255, 515 131 350

About Picuś

What life with Picuś looks like

Picuś is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Zawierciu 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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Picuś, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Picuś?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Zawierciu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Picuś on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Picuś if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Zawierciu 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Picuś 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 Picuś 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 Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Zawierciu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Picuś 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.
