How do I contact the shelter about Alba?

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 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 — 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 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 Fundacja Puszatek 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.

Alba

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

Alba- the person who abandoned her already once, we will not allow it to happen again. Alba is a 9-year-old female dog of American Staffordshire Terrier type, weighing 30 kg. When she came to us, her body was covered with wounds. That is now in the past, but she still needs medication (which we will obviously pay for). Alba initially observed every one of our movements, at the veterinarian she lay on her back showing "I will be good, don't hurt me". However, with each week she notices that life can be beautiful. Alba likes to ride in a car, she does not have a locomotion disease, walks beautifully on a leash, very attentive to her human. She stays alone at home, does not destroy anything. Alba would prefer to be an only dog, unless someone consciously decides to work on the relationships between dogs. We are looking for a temporary home for her with an option for a permanent one. The animal shelter takes financial responsibility for further treatment.

Alba- człowiek zawiódł ja już raz, nie pozwolimy, aby się to powtórzyło. Alba to 9 letnia sunia w typie amstaffa, waży 30 kg. Gdy do nas trafiła jej ciałko pokryte było ranami. Teraz to już przeszłość, lecz nadal wymaga ona leków (które oczywiście opłacimy). Alba początkowo obserwowała każdy nasz ruch, u weterynarza kładła się na plecy pokazując „będę grzeczna, nie rób mi krzywdy”. Jednak z każdym tygodniem zauważa, że życie może być piękne. Alba lubi jeździć autem, nie ma choroby lokomocyjnej, pięknie chodzi na smyczy bardzo zwracając uwagę na swojego człowieka. Sama zostaje w domu, nie niszczy. Alba wolałaby być jedynaczką, chyba, że ktoś świadomie podejmie decyzję o pracy nad relacjami między psami. Szukamy dla niej domu tymczasowego z opcją stałego. Schronisko bierze na siebie odpowiedzialność finansową za dalsze leczenie.

About Alba

What life with Alba looks like

Alba 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.
