Marusia

Female · Adult · 5 years

Marusia is a tiny female dog who spent the first few weeks of her stay in the animal shelter in the hospital. Now she is waking up, having also undergone a neutering procedure. With each day, she gains strength and trust in her volunteer caretakers, whom she joyfully anticipates when she sees them. Walking with her is a delight; she walks calmly, getting to know the new place. She also doesn't shy away from human contact, snuggling gently and asking for pets. Marusia was caught after wandering the city; we don't know her past, but she was definitely not colorful. The female dog is withdrawn and shy, so she will need warmth and patience to find her place in a new home. However, she deserves the best, and it would be ideal if she could recover fully in a quiet, warm, and most importantly, her own home.

Marusia to malutka sunia, która pierwsze tygodnie pobytu w schronisku spędza w szpitalu. Powolutku dochodzi do siebie, jest już też po zabiegu kastracji. Z każdym dniem nabiera sił i zaufania do swoich wolontariuszy, na których widok nieśmiało się cieszy. Spacerki z nią to sama przyjemność, chodzi spokojnie, poznając nowe dla siebie miejsce. Nie pogardzi też kontaktem z człowiekiem, delikatnie wtulając się i prosząc o głaski. Marusia została złapana po tułaczce po mieście, nie znamy jej przeszłości, ale na pewno nie była ona kolorowa. Sunia jest wycofana i nieśmiała, będzie więc potrzebować ciepła i cierpliwości aby odnaleźć się w nowym domu. Jednak zasługuje już tylko na najlepsze i najlepiej żeby dochodziła do pełnego zdrowia już w cichym, ciepłym i co najważniejsze własnym domu. W miarę poznawania suni będziemy uaktualniać opis, jednak już zapraszamy do kontaktu i poznawania malutkiej. Poznaj lepiej psiaki na 6: Facebook: Instagram: TikTok:

About Marusia

What life with Marusia looks like

Marusia is a small adult dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

An 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 Marusia, answered.

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