How do I contact the shelter about Tobi?

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 Tobi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tobi 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 Tobi 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 Tobi 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 Tobi 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.

Tobi

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

Tobi is a small, beautiful puppy. A bit of a shy one. At first glance - happy and very friendly. However, his soul is severely wounded. Like any sensitive being that has experienced trauma, Tobi has unhealed, painful scars. Negative experiences with humans have made it hard for him to fully trust. Despite his openness to building contact with humans, he is very afraid - it's clear that he doesn't know what to expect from humans. His anxiety is worsened by enclosed spaces, where the possibility of escape is strongly limited. Despite his difficult experiences, Tobi can quickly open up to new people, additionally during training in the animal shelter we notice significant progress, which makes us suspect that with the right approach, continuation of training and work on building his sense of safety and confidence, especially in contact with people, a new family will be able to change Tobie's emotions, and thus also his behavior. Tobi has never bitten. So we are looking for a home for Tobie that will show understanding, patience and common sense, giving this lost little dog a chance for a good and safe life. We are looking for a person who will combine love with patience and understanding. He is really a wonderful dog and it's very unfair that human cruelty broke his life. If you would like to meet him in person - call. The adoption caregiver will answer questions and arrange a meeting walk. The puppy is under the care of the animal shelter - adoption procedures apply.

Tobi to niewielki, śliczny piesek. Trochę jamnikowaty. Na pierwszy rzut oka - radosny i bardzo przyjazny Jednak jego dusza jest okrutnie poraniona. Jak każda wrażliwa istota, która doświadczyła traumy Tobi ma niezaleczone, bolesne blizny. Negatywne doświadczenia z człowiekiem spowodowały, że trudno mu w pełni zaufać. Mimo jego otwartości na budowanie kontaktu z człowiekiem, mocno się obawia - widać, że nie wie czego może się po człowieku spodziewać. Jego niepokój potęgują zamknięte pomieszczenia, gdzie możliwość ucieczki jest mocno ograniczona. Mimo przykrych doświadczeń Tobi potrafi dość szybko otworzyć się na nowe osoby, dodatkowo podczas ćwiczeń w schronisku zauważamy spore postępy, co sprawia że możemy podejrzewać, że przy odpowiednim podejściu, kontynuacji ćwiczeń i pracy nad budowaniem jego poczucia bezpieczeństwa i pewności siebie zwłaszcza w kontakcie z ludźmi, nowa rodzina będzie w stanie zmienić emocje Tobiego, a co za tym idzie - także jego zachowanie. Tobi nigdy nie ugryzł. Szukamy więc dla Tobiego domu, który wykaże się zrozumieniem, cierpliwością i rozsądkiem dając temu zagubionemu psiakowi szanse na dobre i bezpieczne życie. Szukamy człowieka, który miłość połączy z cierpliwością i zrozumieniem . To naprawdę cudny psiak i to bardzo niesprawiedliwe, że ludzkie okrucieństwo złamało mu życie. Jeśli chcesz poznać go osobiście - dzwoń. Opiekun adopcyjny odpowie na pytania i umówi spacer zapoznawczy. Piesek jest podopiecznym schroniska - obowiązują procedury adopcyjne. Kontakt w sprawie adopcji w godzinach pracy schroniska tzn do 15:00 - później prosimy o smsa a oddzwonimy następnego roboczego dnia.

About Tobi

What life with Tobi looks like

Tobi is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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.
