Adopt Tomek

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Happy, balanced with people he trusts. Other dogs: positive. At the previous animal shelter since January 2016; Tomek needs a lot of time to trust a new person; a home with another dog would be welcome, which would be a support for Tomka.

About Tomek

What life with Tomek looks like

Tomek is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Miluszków Schronisko Piła in Poland.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tomek, answered.

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