How do I contact the shelter about Ząbek?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ząbek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ząbek if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) 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 Ząbek 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 Ząbek 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 Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ząbek 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.

Ząbek

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Ząbek, a dog born in 2013 Ząbek is a cute, white and red mixed breed who doesn't look his age at all. This is a dog with a very positive attitude towards the world - cheerful, gentle and extremely friendly towards people. He is sociable, polite and compliant, which allows him to quickly establish contact and feel comfortable in the presence of humans. Ząbek loves walks and walks beautifully on a leash, deriving great joy from them. He has a medium energy level - he would gladly go for a walk, but he can also calmly rest by the caregiver's side. He is friendly towards other dogs. His attitude towards cats is unknown to us. During grooming, he remains calm and causes no problems. The health of Ząbka is good. The dog has practically no teeth, but this does not interfere with his daily functioning - he has a good appetite and eats well. Currently weighs 19.5 kg. When he arrived at the animal shelter, he was very neglected, severely underweight and had signs of bites. Today he is in much better condition and despite the difficult experiences, he has retained his cheerful disposition and trust in people. He shows no trauma and enjoys life with joy. Ząbek is a wonderful, calm companion who will certainly repay with great devotion and love. We are looking for a warm, responsible home for him, where he can spend the next years surrounded by care and closeness of humans. Ząbek is microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and spayed.

PL·Show original

Ząbek, pies urodzony w 2013r. Ząbek to uroczy, biało-rudy mieszaniec, który mimo swojego wieku w ogóle na niego nie wygląda. To pies o bardzo pozytywnym nastawieniu do świata – pogodny, łagodny i niezwykle przyjazny wobec ludzi. Jest towarzyski, grzeczny oraz uległy, dzięki czemu szybko nawiązuje kontakt i dobrze odnajduje się w obecności człowieka. Ząbek bardzo lubi spacery i pięknie chodzi na smyczy, czerpiąc z nich dużą radość. Ma średni poziom energii – chętnie wybierze się na spacer, ale równie dobrze potrafi spokojnie odpoczywać u boku opiekuna. Jest przyjazny w stosunku do innych psów. Jego stosunek do kotów nie jest nam znany. Podczas pielęgnacji zachowuje się spokojnie i nie sprawia problemów. Stan zdrowia Ząbka jest dobry. Pies praktycznie nie ma zębów, jednak zupełnie nie przeszkadza mu to w codziennym funkcjonowaniu – ma dobry apetyt i ładnie je. Obecnie waży 19,5 kg. Kiedy trafił do schroniska, był bardzo zaniedbany, mocno wychudzony i miał ślady po pogryzieniach. Dziś jest już w dużo lepszej kondycji i mimo trudnych doświadczeń zachował pogodne usposobienie oraz zaufanie do ludzi. Nie wykazuje żadnych traum i z radością korzysta z życia. Ząbek to wspaniały, spokojny towarzysz, który z pewnością odwdzięczy się ogromem oddania i miłości. Szukamy dla niego ciepłego, odpowiedzialnego domu, w którym będzie mógł spędzić kolejne lata otoczony troską i bliskością człowieka. Ząbek jest odrobaczony, odpchlony, zaszczepiony, zaczipowany i wykastrowany.

About Ząbek

What life with Ząbek looks like

Ząbek is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) 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.
