Demi

Female · Senior · 11 years

DOG FOR FURTHER SOCIALIZATION. Demi is a withdrawn and shy dog who needs time to trust a human and gain confidence. She does not know how to walk on a leash, and outside of her crate she is paralyzed by fear. She is not very outgoing, she allows being petted but does not demand it. She likes to lie in the sun on the grass. A home without small children would be better for her - she needs quiet and peace. She will find her place in a house with a garden, as well as an apartment, but she should live inside with people. This is a female dog that needs someone to show her the way and prove that people are good. This is a dog with a baggage of experiences that is not visible at first glance, especially in a photo, but which affects every aspect of her daily life. Anxious, withdrawn, avoiding contact - not because she does not want to be loved, but because life has taught her caution. If you are looking for a dog "ready to be loved" from the first day - this is not the case. This dog will not greet you wagging its tail or lie down next to you after five minutes. She needs time, peace, consistency and great patience.

PIES DO DALSZEJ SOCJALIZACJI. Demi jest wycofaną i lękliwą sunią, potrzebuje czasu, żeby zaufać człowiekowi i nabrać pewności siebie. Nie umie chodzić na smyczy, poza kojcem “paraliżuje” ją strach. Nie jest wylewna, daje się głaskać, ale nie domaga się tego. Lubi wylegiwać się w słońcu na trawie. Lepszy będzie dla niej dom bez małych dzieci - potrzebuje ciszy i spokoju. Odnajdzie się w domu z ogrodem, jak i w mieszkaniu, ale powinna żyć wewnątrz z ludźmi. To sunia, która potrzebuje, by wskazać jej drogę i udowodnić, że ludzie są dobrzy. To pies z bagażem doświadczeń, którego nie widać na pierwszy rzut oka, szczególnie na zdjęciu, ale który wpływa na każdy aspekt jego codzienności. Lękowy, wycofany, unikający kontaktu – nie dlatego, że nie chce być kochany, ale dlatego, że życie nauczyło go ostrożności. Jeśli szukasz psa „gotowego do kochania” od pierwszego dnia – to nie ten przypadek. Ten pies nie przywita Cię merdającym ogonem ani nie położy się przy Tobie po pięciu minutach. Potrzebuje czasu, spokoju, konsekwencji i ogromu cierpliwości.

About Demi

What life with Demi looks like

Demi is a small senior dog waiting at Funny Pets Czartki in Poland.

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.

🇵🇱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 Demi, answered.

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