Alma

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 3 months

The ALMY story shouldn't happen. And yet, it happens every single day. Another dog mom. Another batch of unwanted puppies. This isn't bad luck. It's not a coincidence. It's the consequence of human decisions—lack of spaying and neutering, uncontrolled dog breeding. Animals always pay the price for these mistakes. They end up in shelters, have more litters, and wait... waiting for someone to finally give them a chance at a better life. Meet ALMA. She’s just 2.5 years old and weighs around 13 kg. A few weeks ago, she arrived at the shelter along with her seven adorable puppies. The puppies have already found loving homes. But ALMA? Despite everything she’s been through, she hasn’t closed herself off from people. On the contrary: she’s incredibly gentle, trusting, and eager for human companionship. She loves human contact, walks beautifully on a leash, and seeks affection with great tenderness. Looking at her, it’s hard to believe that anyone ever let her down. She’s already fulfilled her purpose. She raised her pups and did everything she could for them. Now it’s time for someone to do something for her. We dream of a home where ALMA can finally be someone’s beloved companion. A place where she can peacefully fall asleep on her own bed, go for walks by her person’s side, and never again know loneliness. If you can’t adopt her, please help in another way. Share this post. Sometimes, just one click is all it takes to change an entire life.

Historia ALMY nie powinna się wydarzyć. A jednak wydarza się każdego dnia. Kolejna psia mama. Kolejne niechciane szczenięta. To nie pech. To nie przypadek. To konsekwencja ludzkich decyzji, braku kastracji, sterylizacji i niekontrolowanego rozmnażania psów. Za te błędy zawsze płacą zwierzęta. Trafiają do schronisk, rodzą kolejne mioty i czekają... aż ktoś w końcu da im szansę na lepsze życie. Poznajcie ALMĘ. Ma zaledwie 2,5 roku i waży około 13 kg. Kilka tygodni temu trafiła do schroniska razem ze swoimi siedmioma szczeniakami. Szczeniaki znalazły kochające domy. Została ona Mimo tego, co przeszła, ALMA nie zamknęła się na ludzi. Wręcz przeciwnie. Jest niezwykle łagodna, ufna i spragniona bliskości. Uwielbia kontakt z człowiekiem, pięknie spaceruje na smyczy i z ogromną delikatnością szuka czułości. Patrząc na nią, trudno uwierzyć, że ktoś kiedyś ją zawiódł. Swoje zadanie już wypełniła. Wychowała dzieci i zrobiła dla nich wszystko, co mogła. Teraz przyszła pora, by ktoś zrobił coś dla niej. Marzymy o domu, w którym ALMA będzie wreszcie czyjąś ukochaną przyjaciółką. O miejscu, gdzie będzie mogła spokojnie zasnąć na własnym posłaniu, wyjść na spacer u boku swojego człowieka i już nigdy nie zaznać samotności. Jeśli nie możesz jej adoptować, pomóż w inny sposób.

About Alma

What life with Alma looks like

Alma is a medium-sized 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alma, answered.

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