Adopt Szarik

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 14 years

Szarik is a cute medium-sized dog, born in 2012, with a long grey coat and a characteristic white cravat on his chest. Szarik came to the shelter in the fall of 2024 as a twelve-year-old senior dog. The caretakers of ZRZEKLI gave him up because they no longer wanted such an old dog, and apparently he even nipped children. It's hard to believe, because he is a very calm and gentle dog and will best find his place in a quiet home. This senior dog needs a warm place where he can spend the autumn of his life surrounded by care and love. Szarik is an ideal companion for people looking for a faithful, devoted friend with a gentle temperament. He calmly walks on a loose leash during walks, does not pull, and also does not react to bicycles and cars. He responds to calls and knows how to shake hands.

Szarik to uroczy psiak średniej wielkości, urodzony w 2012 roku, o złocistorudej sierści, z charakterystycznym białym krawatem na piersi. Szarik trafił do schroniska jesienią 2024, jako dwunastoletni psi senior. Opiekunowie ZRZEKLI się go, bo nie chcieli już takiego starego psa, a podobno i podgryzał dzieci. Aż trudno w to uwierzyć, bo jest to pies bardzo spokojny i stonowany i najlepiej odnajdzie się w spokojnym domu. Ten psi senior potrzebuje ciepłego miejsca, gdzie będzie mógł spędzić jesień swojego życia, otoczony troską i miłością. Szarik to idealny towarzysz dla osób, które szukają wiernego oddanego przyjaciela o łagodnym usposobieniu. Na spacerze spokojnie idzie na luźnej smyczy, nie szarpie, nie reaguje też na rowery i samochody. Reaguje na zawołanie i umie podawać łapę.

About Szarik

What life with Szarik looks like

Szarik is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku in Poland.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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 Szarik, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Szarik?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Szarik on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Szarik if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku 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 Szarik 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 Szarik 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 Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Słupsku early rather than rehoming privately; they know Szarik 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.
