Alba

Female · Young · 1 year

Alba is a beautiful female German shepherd, but her beauty is only the beginning of what she has to offer. She has an enormous, loving heart. Every day, locked in a shelter cage, she is looking for her person. The one who will see not just a dog in her, but a faithful friend for life. As soon as someone approaches - her eyes light up with hope. Alba loves people with all her heart. She loves closeness, touch and shared moments. She is gentle, kind and extremely loyal. She gets along well with other dogs - she is friendly and gladly goes on walks together. But above all, she needs a person - someone who will show her that she no longer has to miss love. Let's not let her life pass behind bars... Give Albie a home, and she will give you everything she has most precious - unconditional love.

Alba to przepiękna sunia w typie owczarka niemieckiego, ale jej uroda to tylko początek tego, co ma do zaoferowania. To przede wszystkim ogromne, spragnione miłości serce. Każdego dnia, zamknięta w schroniskowym boksie, wypatruje swojego człowieka. Tego jedynego, który zobaczy w niej nie tylko psa, ale wiernego przyjaciela na całe życie. Gdy tylko ktoś się zbliża – jej oczy rozbłyskują nadzieją. Alba kocha ludzi całym sobą. Uwielbia bliskość, dotyk i wspólne chwile. Jest czuła, łagodna i niezwykle oddana. Dobrze odnajduje się w towarzystwie innych psów – jest przyjaźnie nastawiona i chętnie wybiera się na wspólne spacery. Najbardziej jednak potrzebuje człowieka – kogoś, kto pokaże jej, że nie musi już tęsknić za miłością. Nie pozwólmy, by jej życie dalej mijało za kratami…Podaruj Albie dom, a ona odda Ci wszystko, co ma najcenniejsze – bezwarunkową miłość.

About Alba

What life with Alba looks like

Alba is a large young adult dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alba, answered.

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