How do I contact the shelter about Zawias?

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 Zawias on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zawias 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 Zawias 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 Zawias 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 Zawias 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.

Zawias

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Zawias is looking for a home. In 2024 he found his home. Today, unfortunately, he has to come back to us. He is a 7-year-old dog of the type terrier/whippet. Given up, loyal and very attached to his people - he is capable of unconditional love and builds a strong relationship with the caregiver. Zawias knows basic commands such as "sit", "stay" and "place", and reacts very well to calling. He loves car rides and gladly accompanies people in various activities. The reason for his return is his strong territoriality and defensive instinct. On his territory he needs clear rules and appropriate conditions in which he can be separated from strangers. Outside his territory, he does not show aggressive behavior. He gets along with other dogs, but can also find his way as a single dog. He can live both in an apartment and in a house with a garden - the most important thing is a conscious approach and understanding of his needs. This is a wonderful dog who needs a stable, responsible home. One that will give him a sense of security, love and clear rules. We are looking for a person for Zawias who will be ready to understand him and guide him.

Zawias szuka domu. W 2024 roku trafił do swojego domu. Dziś, niestety, musi do nas wrócić. To 7-letni pies w typie wyżła/teriera. Oddany, lojalny i bardzo związany ze swoimi ludźmi – potrafi kochać bezwarunkowo i buduje silną relację z opiekunem. Zawias zna podstawowe komendy, takie jak „siad”, „waruj” i „na miejsce”, bardzo dobrze reaguje na przywołanie. Uwielbia jazdę samochodem i chętnie towarzyszy człowiekowi w różnych aktywnościach. Powodem powrotu jest jego silna terytorialność i instynkt obronny. Na swoim terenie potrzebuje jasnych zasad i odpowiednich warunków, w których będzie mógł być odseparowany od obcych. Poza swoim terenem nie przejawia zachowań agresywnych. Dogaduje się z innymi psami, ale równie dobrze odnajdzie się jako jedynak. Może zamieszkać zarówno w mieszkaniu, jak i w domu z ogrodem – najważniejsze jest świadome podejście i zrozumienie jego potrzeb. To cudowny pies, który potrzebuje stabilnego, odpowiedzialnego domu. Takiego, który da mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa, miłość i jasne zasady. Szukamy dla Zawiasa człowieka, który będzie gotowy go zrozumieć i poprowadzić.

About Zawias

What life with Zawias looks like

Zawias is a large 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.
