How do I contact the shelter about Toffik?

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

Can I adopt Toffik if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Zwierzęca Polana 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 Toffik 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 Toffik 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 Zwierzęca Polana early rather than rehoming privately; they know Toffik 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.

Toffik

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Story Where to start the story of Tofik? From the first thing that catches the eye: from the crushed spinal cord due to a car accident, paralyzed hind legs and lack of control over physiological functions? From the fact that Tofik will never walk like a normal dog? But Tofik is not just his disability. Tofik is a spirit of joy, energy, happiness and appetite for life. Tofik is a speed that some healthy dogs cannot keep up with, and he loves movement (it's impossible not to smile when Tofik rushes onto the yard with his cart and happily runs around). Tofik is a friendliness towards the whole world - people, other dogs, even cats. Tofik is a desire for adventures and curiosity. Tofik is 13 years old - there is still a lot ahead of him to experience in happiness. It's us humans who have a problem with his disability, and if Tofik could, he would probably laugh - he doesn't have time to worry, there are so many places to visit, so many people to love, so many animals to play with! We realize that finding a home for Tofik will not be easy. However, we do not lose faith - just like Tofik does not lose it - and we hope that somewhere there is a person who will love him despite all difficulties.

Historia Od czego zacząć historię Tofika? Czy od tego, co pierwsze rzuca się w oczy: od zniszczonego w wyniku wypadku samochodowego rdzenia kręgowego, sparaliżowanych tylnych łapek i braku kontroli nad czynnościami fizjologicznymi? Od tego, że Tofik nigdy nie będzie chodził jak normalny pies? Ale przecież Tofik to nie tylko kalectwo. Tofik to pogoda ducha, energia, radość i apetyt na życie. Tofik to śmiganie tak prędkie, że niektóre zdrowe psy nie mogą za nim nadążyć i uwielbienie ruchu (nie da się nie uśmiechnąć, kiedy Tofik wpada na wybieg ze swoim wózkiem i uszczęśliwiony gania dookoła). Tofik to sympatia do całego świata – ludzi, innych psów, nawet kotów. Tofik to głód przygód i ciekawość. Tofik ma 13 lat – jeszcze wiele przed nim do przeżycia w szczęściu. To my, ludzie, mamy problem z jego kalectwem, a Tofik, gdyby mógł, pewnie parsknął by śmiechem – on nie ma czasu się martwić, jest tyle miejsc do zwiedzenia, tyle ludzi do kochania, tyle zwierząt do zabawy! Zdajemy sobie sprawę, że znalezienie domu dla Tofika nie będzie łatwe. Nie tracimy jednak wiary – tak jak nie traci jej Tofik – i mamy nadzieję, że gdzieś jest człowiek, który pokocha go mimo wszystkich trudności.

About Toffik

What life with Toffik looks like

Toffik is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Zwierzęca Polana in Warszawa.

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.
