Alicja

Female · Young · 3 years

Alice's story is very sad. She came to the shelter after her owner died and there was no one who could take care of her. Alice is really struggling and can't accept how unfair her fate has been. Sunia always stands by the bars, barks and whines trying to get attention. During walks she constantly looks around trying to spot her former caretaker among the people passing by. 🥺 Alice is 3 years old, has a beautiful muzzle and an interesting black, brown and white coat. Sometimes we laugh saying she looks like an image generated by AI. 😉 Ala is a wonderful sun - smart and sensitive. Contact with humans is very important for her and she clearly seeks it. After leaving the enclosure she can pull, letting out accumulated energy but later during the walk she can focus on the surrounding attractions. She sniffs very nicely. Her favorite walking place is a nearby forest where she always finds and smells something interesting and being there clearly calms her down. We are just starting to observe her reactions to other dogs and we will update the information after further observations. For now we are looking for her home without other animals. We don't know her attitude towards children.

Historia Alicji jest bardzo smutna. Trafiła do schroniska po tym jak zmarł jej właściciel i nie było nikogo, kto mógłby się nią zająć. Alicja bardzo to przeżyła i nie umie zaakceptować tego jak niesprawiedliwy spotkał ją los. Sunia stale stoi przy kratach, popiskuje i szczeka próbując zwrócić na siebie uwagę. Na spacerach cały czas się rozgląda próbując wypatrzeć wśród mijanych osób swojego byłego opiekuna 🥺 Alicja ma 3 lata, piękny pyszczek oraz ciekawe biało - brązowo - czarne umaszczenie Czasem śmiejemy się, że przypomina swoim wyglądem obraz wygenerowany przez AI 😉 Ala jest cudowną sunią - mądrą i wrażliwą. Kontakt z człowiekiem jest dla niej bardzo ważny i wyraźnie do niego dąży. Po wyjściu z boksu potrafi pociągnąć dając upust nagromadzonej energii ale w dalszej części spaceru potrafi już skupić się na mijanych atrakcjach. Bardzo ładnie węszy. Jej ulubionym spacerowym miejscem jest pobliski lasek gdzie zawsze wypatrzy i wywącha coś interesującego a pobyt w nim wyraźnie ją uspokaja. Dopiero przyglądamy się jej reakcjom na inne psy i będziemy aktualizować informacje po dalszych obserwacjach. Na obecną chwilę poszukujemy jej domu bez innych zwierząt. Nie znamy jej stosunku do dzieci.

About Alicja

What life with Alicja looks like

Alicja is a medium-sized 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. 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alicja, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alicja?
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 Alicja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alicja 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 Alicja 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 Alicja 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 Alicja 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.
