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 · Senior · 10 years

Meet Zawisza, a unique 10-year-old dog (born around 2016) weighing an ideal 9 kg. Zawisza is a dog with an extraordinary charm, whose rough-haired appearance immediately catches the eye. If you are looking for a calm, steady friend who above all values human closeness and a warm bed, Zawisza is waiting for you! He is a very gentle dog. As a senior, Zawisza no longer has any crazy antics in his head - he dreams of peaceful walks, good food and a person who always finds time to stroke him behind the ear. Despite his age, he still has a lot of love to give. Why is Zawisza the perfect dog? Mature stability: He is 10 years old, which means he is a very well-behaved dog. He knows the rules of the house, can enjoy the moment and does not require as much intense activity as younger dogs. Pocket size: At a weight of 9 kg, Zawisza is a handy dog who will find his place even in a small apartment. Rough-haired charm: His beauty is one of a kind - this is a dog with a character who will surely steal the hearts of fans of terriers and rough-haired beauties. Loyal nature: Seniors love the most - Zawisza will appreciate every gesture of kindness and will repay with the sincerest devotion. We are looking for a peaceful home for Zawisza, preferably alongside someone who appreciates the charm of an older dog. Zawisza deserves to spend the rest of his life in warmth, surrounded by care and respect.

About ZAWIAS

What life with ZAWIAS looks like

ZAWIAS is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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.
