How do I contact the shelter about Tadek?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tadek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tadek if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Tadek 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 Tadek 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 Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tadek 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.

Tadek

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Tadek is a gentle old dog who was brought to the shelter on June 30, 2026 after an intervention in the area of Tarnopolska Street. He is a medium-sized senior bachelor with several health issues, including thyroid problems. Tadek enjoys comfort and considers a rug his true treasure! On tiles, my paws sometimes do a little unplanned breakdance, but I definitely prefer a quiet rest. I have my own opinion on doctors and medications - after all, every older gentleman knows best what's good for him! Fortunately, with a bit of cunning and tasty treats, I can be persuaded. On the daily basis, I am a very polite and beloved senior. I keep clean, love sweet naps and really enjoy petting. When on a leash, I walk calmly and don't pull. Tadek is looking for a home where someone will love this peaceful old dog and provide me with a soft place to rest, care and lots of closeness. In return, I will repay you with my calm, good heart.

Hej, mam na imię Tadek i jestem poczciwym psim dziadziemJestem średniej wielkości starszym kawalerem, który 30 czerwca 2026 roku trafił do schroniska po interwencji w okolicy ul. Tarnopolskiej.Mam już swoje lata i kilka dolegliwości – między innymi problemy z tarczycą. Lubię wygody, dlatego dywanik to dla mnie prawdziwy skarb! Na kafelkach moje łapki czasem urządzają sobie mały, nieplanowany breakdance, a ja zdecydowanie wolę spokojny odpoczynek. Z lekarzami i lekami mam swoje zdanie – przecież każdy starszy pan wie najlepiej, co dla niego dobre! Na szczęście przy odrobinie sprytu i smacznych sposobach daję się przekonać.Na co dzień jestem bardzo grzecznym i kochanym seniorem. Zachowuję czystość, uwielbiam słodkie drzemki i bardzo lubię głaskanie. Na smyczy chodzę spokojnie i nie ciągnę.Szukam domu, w którym ktoś pokocha spokojnego psiego dziadka i zapewni mi miękkie miejsce do odpoczynku, troskę oraz dużo bliskości. Odwdzięczę się swoim spokojnym, dobrym serduszkiem.

About Tadek

What life with Tadek looks like

Tadek is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.
