RIKI

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Riki is a young, incredibly moving gentleman born in 2024, which means he is currently just about 2 years old. Riki is at the threshold of adulthood: this young dog, instead of growing up in the warmth of a loving family, has known the cold and the din of the shelter. He weighs about 22 kg - a harmonious, elegant and elegant format of a solid medium-sized dog, made directly for safe laying on a soft, home cushion. Riki is walking gentleness, defenseless tenderness and an ocean of modesty! He is a very withdrawn, shy and cautious dog towards new people and unknown situations. There is not a bit of aggression in his behavior; it is a completely defenseless, quiet and submissive being that simply withdraws in the face of fear and needs time to feel the ground under his paws. Beneath this shyness, however, lies a great desire to learn and a great, thirsty good heart. Because of his strong withdrawal, he most dreams of a quiet home with a safely fenced garden. Such a safe, quiet enclave away from the city noise will allow him to freely explore the surroundings, slowly build confidence and establish a bond with the caregiver without unnecessary pressure. The shelter box and ubiquitous din is too overwhelming for such a sensitive young man - Riki is eagerly looking for his man! Why does modest and sensitive Riki need you? Genius relationship with other dogs (Key asset!): Riki gets along very well with other dogs - the presence of a stable, gentle resident dog will be a huge support for him, give him courage and show him how to find his way in the new world. Dream home with garden: A quiet, safely fenced space is the ideal conditions for him to adapt peacefully, psychologically regenerate and tame the world at his own pace. Pure dove's gentleness: Completely devoid of anger or nervousness; it is a submissive, delicate dog with a heart in his hand, who wants only peace and understanding. Solid medium-sized format (about 22 kg): A harmonious, harmonious silhouette - a non-intrusive tenant who will bring peace to the house. Young age and a whole life ahead (about 2 years): A young dog with great potential - in patient, loving hands he will slowly blossom and make up for lost time. The most beautiful reward of trust: Watching how Riki gradually sheds his withdrawal armor and for the first time trustingly rests his head on your knees will be an invaluable experience for a lifetime. We are looking for a very calm, understanding and full of deep empathy home for Riki - people who are patient, sensitive and aware, who will give him as much time as he needs, will not force anything and will surround him with a safe arm. Give him a safe haven, and this delicate boy will repay you with the deepest, boundless loyalty and devotion!

Są młodziutkie psy, w których spojrzeniu nie ma jeszcze beztroski – nie skaczą do krat, nie narzucają się swoją obecnością, lecz z cichym niepokojem wycofują się w głąb boksu, obserwując świat z bezpiecznego dystansu. Poznajcie Rikiego – młodego, niezwykle poruszającego kawalera urodzonego w 2024 roku, co oznacza, że ma obecnie zaledwie około 2 lata. Riki znajduje się na samym progu dorosłości: to młodziutki pies, który zamiast dorastać w cieple kochającej rodziny, poznał chłód i zgiełk schroniska. Waży około 22 kg – to harmonijny, zgrabny i elegancki format solidnego średniaka, wprost stworzonego do bezpiecznego ułożenia na miękkim, domowym posłaniu. Riki to chodząca łagodność, bezbronna czułość i ocean skromności! Jest psem mocno wycofanym, nieśmiałym i ostrożnym wobec nowych osób oraz nieznanych sytuacji. W jego zachowaniu nie ma ani krzty agresji; to istota całkowicie bezbronna, cicha i uległa, która w obliczu lęku po prostu się wycofuje i potrzebuje czasu, by poczuć grunt pod łapami. Pod tą nieśmiałością kryje się jednak ogromna chęć do nauki i wielkie, spragnione dobra serce. Ze względu na jego silne wycofanie, najbardziej marzy o spokojnym domu z bezpiecznie ogrodzonym ogrodem. Taka bezpieczna, cicha enklawa z dala od miejskiego hałasu pozwoli mu na swobodne poznawanie otoczenia, powolne budowanie pewności siebie i nawiązywanie więzi z opiekunem bez niepotrzebnej presji. Schroniskowy boks i wszechobecny zgiełk to dla tak wrażliwego młodzieńca miejsce stanowczo zbyt przytłaczające – Riki pilnie wygląda swojego człowieka! Dlaczego skromny i wrażliwy Riki potrzebuje właśnie Ciebie? Genialny stosunek do innych psów (Kluczowy atut!): Riki bardzo dobrze dogaduje się z innymi czworonogami – obecność stabilnego, łagodnego psa rezydenta będzie dla niego ogromnym wsparciem, doda mu odwagi i wskaże, jak odnaleźć się w nowym świecie. Wymarzony dom z ogrodem: Cicha, bezpiecznie ogrodzona przestrzeń to dla niego idealne warunki do spokojnej adaptacji, regeneracji psychicznej i oswajania świata we własnym tempie. Czysta, gołębia łagodność: Całkowicie pozbawiony złości czy nerwowości; to uległy, delikatny pies z sercem na dłoni, pragnący wyłącznie spokoju i zrozumienia. Format solidnego średniaka (ok. 22 kg): Zgrabna, harmonijna sylwetka – nienarzucający się lokator, który wniesie do domu wyciszenie. Młody wiek i całe życie przed nim (ok. 2 lata): Młodziutki pies o wielkim potencjale – w cierpliwych, kochających rękach powoli rozkwitnie i nadrobi stracone chwile. Najpiękniejsza nagroda zaufania: Obserwowanie, jak Riki krok po kroku zrzuca pancerz wycofania i po raz pierwszy z ufnością opiera głowę na Twoich kolanach, będzie bezcennym doświadczeniem na całe życie. Szukamy dla Rikiego domu bardzo spokojnego, wyrozumiałego i pełnego głębokiej empatii – ludzi cierpliwych, wrażliwych i świadomych, którzy dadzą mu tyle czasu, ile będzie potrzebował, nie będą niczego wymuszać i otoczą go bezpiecznym ramieniem. Podaruj mu bezpieczną przystań, a ten delikatny chłopak odwdzięczy się najgłębszą, bezgraniczną lojalnością i oddaniem!

About RIKI

What life with RIKI looks like

RIKI is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱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 RIKI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about RIKI?
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 RIKI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt RIKI 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is RIKI 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 RIKI 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 RIKI 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.
