Staszek

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Staszek is a large, strong dog with a golden heart. He is about 6 years old, weighs 23 kg and is 50 cm tall. At first glance, he may seem intimidating. He barks loudly and seems confident - but these are just appearances. After a short walk, you can see what he's really like. A sudden sound, a falling branch, is enough to show his more gentle side. He is a typical "wolf in sheep's clothing" - looks threatening, but underneath is a sensitive dog. Staszek is not the type of dog that will come running to your knees. Instead, he shows trust in his own way - he relaxes in the presence of the caregiver, occasionally glances to see if they are still there, and subtly turns his neck for scratching in the kennel. And when you start... better don't stop, because Staszek will stubbornly offer his paw until you pay attention to him again. He is an energetic and strong dog who needs movement to release emotions. He will best find his place with someone who likes to actively and spend long hours in nature. Gets along well with other dogs, although sometimes he can be too enthusiastic in contact. He is not the type of any trendy breed and does not attract attention at first glance - but he has something much more valuable inside - a golden heart. He just needs a person who wants to see it. We recommend for adoption!

PL·Show original

Staszek to większych rozmiarów, silny pies o złotym sercu. Jest w wieku około 6 lat, wagowo 23 kg i 50 cm. Na pierwszy rzut oka może budzić respekt. Głośno szczeka i sprawia wrażenie pewnego siebie- ale to tylko pozory. Już po krótkim spacerze widać, jaki jest naprawdę. Wystarczy nagły dźwięk, spadająca gałązka, żeby pokazał swoją delikatniejszą stronę. To typowa, owca w wilczej skórze"- wygląda groźnie, ale pod spodem kryje się wrażliwiec. Staszek nie jest typem psa, który będzie wchodziła na kolana. zamiast tego zaufanie okazuje na swój sposób- rozluźnia się w obecności opiekuna, zerka co jakiś czas, czy nadal jest obok, a w boksie subtelnie nastawia szyję do drapania. A kiedy już zaczniesz...lepiej nie przestawaj, bo Staszek będzie Ci uparcie podawał łapkę dopóki znowu nie zwrócisz na niego uwagi. To energiczny i silny psiak, który potrzebuje ruchu, by rozładować emocje. Najlepiej odnajdzie się u osoby, która lubi aktywnie i długo spędzać nas na łanie natury. Dobrze dogaduje się z innymi psami, choć czasami bywa zbyt entuzjastyczny e kontaktach. Nie jest w typie żadnej modnej rasy ani nie przyciąga wzroku na pierwszy rzut oka-ale ma w sobie coś znacznie cenniejszego- złote serce. Potrzebuje tylko człowieka, który zechce to dostrzec. Polecamy do adopcji!

About Staszek

What life with Staszek looks like

Staszek is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Staszek, answered.

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