Tolek

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

If you’ve been saying for ages, “Someday I’ll have a dachshund,” you absolutely must meet TOLK! He’s an approximately 3-year-old dachshund-type dog who exudes joy and has even more love to give to people. As soon as a human appears nearby, it’s immediately obvious. His tail wags furiously, his eyes sparkle, and he’s ready to greet you as if he’s known you forever. He simply adores people. It’s just that his trust in new people is a bit different—it doesn’t come right away. He needs a moment to make sure it’s truly safe and that this person isn’t planning on leaving anytime soon. TOLK gets along quite well with other dogs, though occasionally a canine companion just doesn’t win his favor. After all, dogs—just like people—have their favorites and those with whom they simply don’t click. We already know that TOLK keeps the house clean, which is a huge plus. What remains for us to find out is how he’ll handle the hustle and bustle of city life and how he’ll cope with car rides. We’re looking for a home for TOLK that will give him some time to settle into his new reality—a home where he can just be a dog, enjoying everyday life, walks, and the company of his human.

Jeśli od dawna mówisz „kiedyś będę mieć jamnika”, to koniecznie poznaj TOLKA! To około 3-letni psiak w typie jamnika, który ma w sobie mnóstwo radości i jeszcze więcej miłości do ludzi. Gdy tylko w pobliżu pojawia się człowiek, od razu to widać. Ogon pracuje, oczy błyszczą, a on sam jest gotowy przywitać się tak, jakby znał Cię od dawna. Ludzi po prostu uwielbia. Tylko z tym największym zaufaniem jest trochę inaczej, ono nie pojawia się od razu. Potrzebuje chwili, żeby upewnić się, że już jest bezpiecznie i że ten człowiek nigdzie się nie wybiera. Relacje z innymi psami układają się u TOLKA całkiem dobrze. Zdarza się jednak, że jakiś psi kolega po prostu nie wzbudzi jego sympatii. W końcu psy, tak jak ludzie, też mają swoich ulubieńców i tych, z którymi nie nadają na tych samych falach. Wiemy już, że w domu zachowuje czystość, co jest ogromnym atutem. Przed nami jeszcze sprawdzenie, jak odnajdzie się w miejskim zgiełku i jak znosi jazdę samochodem. Szukamy dla TOLKA domu, który da mu chwilę na odnalezienie się w nowej rzeczywistości. Takiego, w którym będzie mógł być po prostu psem i cieszyć się codziennością, spacerami i obecnością swojego człowieka.

About Tolek

What life with Tolek looks like

Tolek 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tolek, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tolek?
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 Tolek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tolek 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 Tolek 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 Tolek 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 Tolek 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.
