Amik

Male · Senior · 12 years

Amik is a small, vulnerable creature and a sweet little one - she is happy to see people and loves being held, especially when we tuck her under our arm. Human warmth is exactly what Amik needs the most. She came to the animal shelter together with equally tiny Mika - they get along well, but are not inseparable companions. Therefore, we decided that for adoption they can go separately. Winter is a very difficult time for them and we would like them to find loving homes as soon as possible. Amik has spondylosis and crooked hind legs. Despite this, she walks bravely and manages perfectly. She gets joint supplements and a thyroid medication. Overall, she is a healthy puppy and we hope she still has many years of life ahead. If someone is looking for a tiny, lap-sized cuddle buddy, then Amik will be an ideal choice. She can live with another small dog after prior meeting.

Amik to małe bezbronne stworzonko i słodka kruszynka – cieszy się na widok człowieka i uwielbia być brany na ręce, szczególnie gdy chowamy go za pazuchę. Ludzkie ciepełko to to, czego Amik najbardziej potrzebuje. Do schroniska trafił razem z równie maleńką Miką – dobrze się dogadują, ale nie są papużkami nierozłączkami. Dlatego zdecydowaliśmy się, że do adopcji mogą pójść osobno. Zima to dla nich bardzo trudny czas i chcielibyśmy, aby jak najszybciej znalazły kochające domy. Amik ma spondylozę i krzywe tylne łapki. Mimo to chodzi dziarsko i radzi sobie doskonale. Dostaje suplementy na stawy i lek na tarczycę. Ogólnie to piesek w dobrej formie i mamy nadzieję, że przed nim jeszcze wiele lat życia. Jeśli ktoś szuka maleńkiego, nakolankowego przytulaska to Amik będzie idealnym wyborem. Może zamieszkać z innym niedużym psem po wcześniejszym zapoznaniu.

About Amik

What life with Amik looks like

Amik is a small senior dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Has spondylosis and crooked hind legs, receives joint supplements and thyroid medication

🇵🇱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 Amik, answered.

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