Szafir

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Szafir was found in the area of the municipality Brańszczyk in very poor condition - neglected, with a severely matted, dull coat and visible signs of long-term lack of care. At first glance, it is clear that for a long time no one took care of him as he should have. Despite his difficult past, he is calm and gentle. He allows people to approach him, shows no aggression, and even gives the impression of needing human contact and a sense of security. We are looking for a responsible home for him, which will show him patience, care, and give him a chance for a new, better life.

Szafir został znaleziony na terenie gminy Brańszczyk w bardzo złym stanie – zaniedbany, z mocno skołtunioną, zmatowiałą sierścią i widocznymi oznakami długotrwałego braku opieki. Na pierwszy rzut oka widać, że przez długi czas nikt się nim nie zajmował tak, jak powinien. Mimo trudnej przeszłości jest spokojny i łagodny. Pozwala do siebie podejść, nie wykazuje agresji, wręcz sprawia wrażenie, jakby bardzo potrzebował bliskości człowieka i poczucia bezpieczeństwa. Szukamy dla niego odpowiedzialnego domu, który okaże mu cierpliwość, troskę i da szansę na nowe, lepsze życie. Jeśli możesz pomóc lub znasz kogoś, kto mógłby go przygarnąć – skontaktuj się.

About Szafir

What life with Szafir looks like

Szafir 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 Szafir, answered.

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