Mixed Breed · Unknown

I returned to the shelter after six months. Unfortunately, I have a difficult temperament, and my owner's health problems meant I couldn't stay with them anymore. 26/10/2026 I have my home in Zabrze :-) 7.04.2026 Hi, my name is Wesley and I am a 10-year-old cocker spaniel. I came to the shelter on February 26, 2026 after an intervention by the Society for the Protection of Animals in Zabrze, because I had not been provided with adequate living conditions or proper care. When I arrived at the shelter, the staff had a lot of work with me. My fur was in poor condition, but fortunately, a groomer visited me and thanks to her, I felt much lighter and look much better now. I am a typical cocker spaniel with character. To live well with me, you first have to get to know me well. I sometimes defend my resources, so I'm looking for an experienced caregiver who can understand me and lead me in a calm, wise way. I am currently undergoing diagnostics to check my health status and take care of me as best as possible. I hope that somewhere out there is someone who will give me a safe home, patience and a chance at a peaceful, good life. Maybe it's you?

Po 6-ciu miesiącach wróciłem do schroniska. Niestety mam trudny charakter, a w dodatku problemy zdrowotne mojego właściciela spowodowały, że nie mogłem dłużej przy nim pozostać. 26/10/2026Mam swój dom w Zabrzu :-) 7.04.2026Cześć, mam na imię Wesley i jestem 10-letnim cocker spanielem. Do schroniska trafiłem 26 lutego 2026 roku po interwencji Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami w Zabrzu, ponieważ wcześniej nie miałem zapewnionych odpowiednich warunków do życia ani właściwej opieki. Kiedy przyjechałem do schroniska, personel miał ze mną sporo pracy. Moja sierść była w kiepskim stanie, ale na szczęście odwiedziła mnie pani groomer i dzięki niej poczułem się dużo lżej i wyglądam teraz o niebo lepiej.Jestem typowym cocker spanielem z charakterem. Żeby dobrze ze mną żyć, trzeba mnie najpierw dobrze poznać. Zdarza mi się bronić swoich zasobów, dlatego szukam doświadczonego opiekuna, który będzie potrafił mnie zrozumieć i poprowadzić w spokojny, mądry sposób.Obecnie przechodzę jeszcze diagnostykę, żeby dokładnie sprawdzić mój stan zdrowia i zadbać o mnie jak najlepiej. Mam nadzieję, że gdzieś tam czeka na mnie ktoś, kto da mi bezpieczny dom, cierpliwość i szansę na spokojne, dobre życie.Może to właśnie Ty?

About Wesley

What life with Wesley looks like

Wesley is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Wesley, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Wesley?: 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 Wesley on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Wesley 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Wesley 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 Wesley 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 Wesley 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.
