How do I contact the shelter about Rafik?

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

Can I adopt Rafik 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 Rafik 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 Rafik 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 Rafik 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.

Rafik

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Rafik is approximately 5 years old, a fox terrier type. On walks, he goes nicely on the leash at a moderate pace, sniffs around a lot, and takes treats willingly and rather gently, though sometimes he gets excited and jumps up for them 😉 He looks uncertain when passing cars. We don't know his relation to children and cats. He seems to be partially blind in one eye, possibly partially deaf as well. He needs to be accustomed to medical procedures, as he arrived at the animal shelter very neglected, likely having been a stray but maintaining cleanliness in his kennel run. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoption requires three introductory walks—possibly more than three for Rafik. The animal shelter does not release dogs for chaining, possession, or land where no one lives. A pre- or post-adoption visit is possible.

PL·Show original

Rafik to ok 5 letni pies w typie foksteriera. Na spacerze ładnie idzie na smyczy, średnim tempem, bardzo dużo węszy. Smaczki bierze chętnie i dość delikatnie choć czasami się o nie upomina wysoko skacząc 😉 Niepewnie spogląda na mijane samochody. Nie znamy stosunku do dzieci i kotów. Na jedno oczko chyba nic nie widzi, być może niedosłyszy. Do zabiegów pielęgnacyjnych trzeba go przyzwyczaić, bo do schroniska trafił bardzo zaniedbany wiec pewnie nikt nie zadbał o niego, wyglądał na burka podwórkowego ale czystość w kojcu zachowuje. Jest wykastrowany, zaszczepiony, odrobaczony i zachipowany. Przed adopcją wymagane 3 spacery zapoznawcze - w przypadku Dizla być może będzie potrzebne więcej niż 3. Schronisko nie wydaje psów na łańcuch ani na posesję czy działkę, gdzie nikt nie mieszka. Możliwa wizyta przed- lub poadopcyjna. Kontakt w godzinach 8-14 (pn-pt), 8-11 (sb).

About Rafik

What life with Rafik looks like

Rafik 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.
