Adopt Rubik

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

DOG Rubik – a small dog with a big heart to discover 🐾 Rubik is a small dog who came to the animal shelter at the beginning of 2025, about 2 years old. He is one of our "special care" residents – a shy dog who needs time and patience to trust. At first, he will be cautious, but he is curious – he loves to sniff and explore the world on walks. And walks are his element! He always looks for volunteers and sometimes happily barks, as if forgetting his fears for a moment 💛 Rubik will not immediately approach for petting – his trust has to be built step by step. But when he opens up, the relationship with him is really special.

🐶 Rubik – mały piesek z wielkim sercem do odkrycia 🐾 Rubik to nieduży pies, który trafił do schroniska na początku 2025 roku, mając około 2 lata. To jeden z naszych podopiecznych „specjalnej troski” – piesek lękowy, który potrzebuje czasu i cierpliwości, by zaufać. Na początku będzie ostrożny, ale jest ciekawski – uwielbia węszyć i poznawać świat na spacerach. A spacery to jego żywioł! Zawsze wypatruje wolontariuszy i zdarza mu się radośnie brykać, jakby na chwilę zapominał o swoich lękach 💛 Rubik nie od razu podejdzie po głaskanie – jego zaufanie trzeba budować krok po kroku. Ale kiedy już się otworzy, to relacja z nim jest naprawdę wyjątkowa. Mógłby zamieszkać z łagodnym psem lub suczką, którzy pomogą mu nabrać pewności siebie 🐶 ✔ wykastrowany ✔ zaczipowany ✔ zaszczepiony ✔ odrobaczony ✔ odpchlony 📞 Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: 510 170 787 🕒 pon.–pt.: 🕒 sobota:

About Rubik

What life with Rubik looks like

Rubik is a medium-sized 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 Rubik, answered.

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