About Szrek

What life with Szrek looks like

Szrek is a small puppy/kitten dog waiting at Fundacja Małych Braci św. Franciszka in Poland.

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 Szrek, answered.

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