RICO

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Friendly RICO is looking for a home! RICO is about 5 years old, weighing approximately 30 kg. He is cheerful and friendly, and spending time with a person brings him great joy. 😊 He walks nicely on a leash and clearly enjoys walks. He loves activity - he gladly plays with the caregiver, and after playing, he enjoys being petted and being close. At the moment, his relationship with other dogs is unknown. We are looking for an active caregiver for RICO, who will provide him with the appropriate amount of movement and shared time. For adoption, we ask that you have your own leash and collar. The description is based on observations of the dog in the animal shelter. RICO is under the care of OTOZ Animals animal shelter in Tczew. Shelter registration number: 7/26 The male is vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. RICO will be neutered soon.

About RICO

What life with RICO looks like

RICO is a large 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting RICO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about RICO?
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 RICO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt RICO 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 RICO 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 RICO 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 RICO 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.
