Adopt Asteria

Mixed Breed · Female

Asteria is a timid female dog who came to the shelter from Animal Shelter Kocham Psisko. Her life so far was probably very limited – Asteria arrived at our shelter as a female dog "closed off from the world", for whom everything new was a source of great fear. Today, thanks to the work of the caretakers, she is slowly starting to stick her nose out of her shell. In the shelter, Asteria has made great progress. Although new people still scare her, with a gentle and calm approach she allows herself to be known as a curious female dog who really wants contact. She is extremely food motivated (she loves treats!), which helps build trust. On walks she does not pull, she walks slowly and passionately enjoys sniffing. In interactions with other animals, she is a model of calmness – she treats both dogs and cats with gentle indifference. In a room with dog roommates, she feels safe and comfortably shares the space with them. We are looking for a home for Asterii that understands the needs of a fearful dog and will give her as much time as she needs. She is an ideal candidate for someone who can read a dog's body language and respects the moments when the female dog says "stop". Asteria needs a calm guide who will lead her on the right path and show her that the world is not so scary. The presence of another stable dog could be a great support for her. — METRYCZKA — 🧮 Age: 10/2022 🚻 Gender: female dog 🐾 Size: 18 kg 🏀 Activity: high ❤️ Neutered: yes ℹ️ Chip: yes 💉 Vaccinations: yes 📍 Location: Azyl pod Płońskiem CONTACT WITH ADOPTERS 730 116 503 The phone is answered from Monday to Friday between 10-19, on weekends between 12-16.

Asteria to subtelna sunia, która do Azylu trafiła ze schroniska Kocham Psisko. Jej życie do tej pory było prawdopodobnie bardzo ograniczone – Asteria przyjechała do nas jako sunia „zamknięta na świat”, dla której wszystko, co nowe, było źródłem ogromnego lęku. Dziś, dzięki pracy opiekunów, powoli zaczyna wystawiać nos ze swojej skorupy. W Azylu Asteria poczyniła ogromne postępy. Choć nowe osoby wciąż ją przerażają, przy delikatnym i spokojnym podejściu daje się poznać jako sunia ciekawska, która bardzo chce kontaktu. Jest niezwykle łasa na jedzenie (płucka to jej słabość!), co świetnie pomaga w budowaniu zaufania. Na spacerach nie ciągnie, idzie powoli i z pasją oddaje się węszeniu. W relacjach z innymi zwierzętami jest wzorem spokoju – zarówno psy, jak i koty traktuje z łagodną obojętnością. W pokoju z psimi współlokatorami czuje się bezpiecznie i bezproblemowo dzieli z nimi przestrzeń. Szukamy dla Asterii domu, który rozumie potrzeby psa lękowego i da jej tyle czasu, ile będzie potrzebowała. To idealna kandydatka dla kogoś, kto potrafi czytać psią mowę ciała i uszanuje momenty, w których sunia mówi „stop”. Asteria potrzebuje spokojnego przewodnika, który wyprowadzi ją na prostą i pokaże, że świat nie jest taki straszny. Obecność innego, stabilnego psa mogłaby być dla niej świetnym wsparciem. — METRYCZKA — 🧮 Wiek: 10/2022 🚻 Płeć: suczka 🐾 Wielkość: 18 kg 🏀 Aktywność: wysoka ❤️ Kastracja: tak ℹ️ Czip: tak 💉 Szczepienia: tak 📍 Miejsce pobytu: Azyl pod Płońskiem 𝐊𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐓 𝐖 𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐖𝐈𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐂𝐉𝐈 𝟕𝟑𝟎 𝟏𝟏𝟔 𝟓𝟎𝟑 Telefon odbierany jest od poniedziałku do piątku w godzinach 10-19, w weekendy w godzinach 12-16.

About Asteria

What life with Asteria looks like

Asteria is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu in Poland.

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 Asteria, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Asteria?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Asteria on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Asteria if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu 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 Asteria 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 Asteria 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 Judyta dla Psiego Losu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Asteria 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.
