How do I contact the shelter about Celinka?

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 Celinka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Celinka 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 Celinka 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 Celinka 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 Celinka 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.

Celinka

Female · Senior · 9 years

Celinka was found in the bushes on Ursynów - alone, abandoned, terrified. Probably some "good soul" brought her from a village or another animal shelter and left her in Warsaw. No one was looking for her, no one even asked about her - and so this female dog was transported to Paluch and officially became a homeless dog... She came to us in a terrible condition - emaciated, neglected, with a matted coat that had not been brushed for an unknown time. Our hearts broke. What did this poor girl have to go through in life... However, despite undoubtedly a difficult past, Celinka still has hope. And although pain and sadness literally emanate from her eyes, this female dog still approaches us with trust, timidly begs for pats, hesitantly takes treats from our hands. And we want to do everything to show her that things will be good again. That she will meet a person who will invite her into their life, surround her with love and never let her down. We are asking for a home for our Celinka! By the way, we invite you to our volunteers' social media group, where you will find stories about the lives of the shelter's residents, information about adoptions, greetings from homes, educational posts and much more! • Instagram Odmień Świat Czterech Łap: • Instagram Paluszaki: • Facebook: • TikTok:

Celinka znaleziona została w krzakach na Ursynowie - sama, porzucona, przerażona. Prawdopodobnie jakaś "dobra dusza" przywiozła ją z jakieś wsi albo innego schroniska i wyrzuciła w Warszawie. Nikt jej nie szukał, nikt o nią nawet nie spytał - i tak oto sunia przewieziona została na Paluch i oficjalnie stała się psem bezdomnym… Trafiła do nas w fatalnym stanie - wychudzona, zaniedbana, z niewyczesaną od niewiadomo jak dawna sierścią. Nasze serca pękły. Co ta biedna dziewczyna musiała w życiu przejść… Jednak mimo niewątpliwie trudnej przeszłości, Celinka wciąż ma nadzieję. I choć z jej oczu dosłownie bije ból i smutek, sunia i tak z ufnością podchodzi do nas, nieśmiało zabiega o głaski, niepewnie bierze z naszych rąk smaczki. A my chcemy zrobić wszystko, by pokazać jej, że jeszcze będzie dobrze. Że pozna człowieka, który zaprosi ją do swojego życia, otoczy miłością i już nigdy nie zawiedzie. Prosimy o dom dla naszej Celinki! Przy okazji, zapraszamy na media społecznościowe naszej grupy wolontariuszy, gdzie znajdziecie relacje z życia podopiecznych Schroniska, informacje o adopcjach, pozdrowienia z domów, posty edukacyjne i wiele innych! • Instagram Odmień Świat Czterech Łap: • Instagram Paluszaki: • Facebook: • TikTok:

About Celinka

What life with Celinka looks like

Celinka is a large 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: Requires patient rehabilitation due to abandonment trauma

🇵🇱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.
