Adopt Pusiak

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Pusiak came to the animal shelter on January 11, 2022 from Kotlisk. Pusiak is a very shy and timid dog. He is cautious in contact with people, almost impossible. One of the staff members took on working with Pusiak, which requires a lot of time. He can now be touched and petted, but when a person crosses his safe zone, he can bite. He definitely doesn't do it out of aggression, but for self-defense. The presence of another dog in the cage makes Pusiak come out of the kennel. He shows him that the world is not so scary. However, as we wrote before, time is needed and again time... Pusiak would surely feel better if he had his own home. Without stress, noise, shelter bars and with a lot of love and safety. And that's exactly the home we are looking for for him. A home where he will start living anew!

Pusiak trafił do Schroniska 11 stycznia 2022 roku z Kotlisk. Pusiak jest bardzo wycofanym i lękliwym psem. Jest ostrożny w kontakcie z człowiekiem, wręcz jest to niemożliwe. Jedna z pracownic podjęła się pracy z Pusiakiem, wymaga to ogromu czasu. Daje się już dotykać i głaskać, jednak gdy człowiek przekroczy jego strefę bezpieczeństwa, potrafi ugryźć. Na pewno nie robi tego z powodu agresji a obrony. Obecność drugiego psa w boksie sprawia, że Pusiak wychodzi z budy. Pokazuje mu, że świat nie jest aż taki straszny. Jednak tak jak pisaliśmy wcześniej, potrzebny jest czas i jeszcze raz czas... Pusiak na pewno poczułby się lepiej, gdyby miał swój dom. Bez stresu, hałasu, schroniskowych krat a z ogromem miłości i bezpieczeństwa. I takiego właśnie domu szukamy dla niego. Domu, w którym zacznie żyć na nowo!

About Pusiak

What life with Pusiak looks like

Pusiak is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Konin 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 Pusiak, answered.

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