Reks

Male · Senior · 9 years

Rex, an abandoned dog, is looking for a peaceful home for his golden years. Rex is over 13 years old and weighs about 8 kg. His story is sad - his owner abandoned him, leaving him tied to a bench, and then moved away. Despite what happened to him, Rex has not lost trust in humans. He is a very friendly dog who enjoys the sight of his caregivers and enjoys spending time with them. For his age, he still has a lot of energy. He also loves treats. Rex gets along with other dogs, so he can live in a home where there is already a canine companion. We are looking for a peaceful and loving home for Rex in his golden years, where he can feel safe and have his human forever. The description is written based on observations of the dog in the shelter. Rex is under the care of OTOZ Animals Shelter in Tczew. Registration number in the shelter: 163/26 The male is vaccinated, chipped, dewormed and neutered. Contact for adoption: 58 531 96 56

Porzucony Reks szuka spokojnego domu na jesień życia. Reks ma powyżej 13 lat i waży około 8 kg. Jego historia jest smutna - właścicielka porzuciła go, zostawiając przywiązanego do ławki, a następnie się wyprowadziła. Mimo tego, co go spotkało, Reks nie stracił zaufania do człowieka. To bardzo sympatyczny pies, który cieszy się na widok swoich opiekunów i chętnie spędza z nimi czas. Jak na swój wiek ma jeszcze sporo energii. Uwielbia również smaczki. Reks dogaduje się z innymi psami, dlatego może zamieszkać w domu, w którym jest już psi towarzysz. Szukamy dla Reksa spokojnego i kochającego domu na jesień jego życia, w którym będzie mógł poczuć się bezpiecznie i mieć swojego człowieka już na zawsze. Opis jest napisany względem obserwacji psa w schronisku. Reks przebywa pod opieką OTOZ Animals Schroniska w Tczewie. Numer ewidencyjny w schronisku: 163/26 Samiec jest zaszczepiony, zaczipowany, odrobaczony oraz wykastrowany. Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: 58 531 96 56

About Reks

What life with Reks looks like

Reks is a small senior dog waiting at OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Tczewie 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 Reks, answered.

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