Demi

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 11 months

Demi is a withdrawn and shy sun, needs time to trust humans and gain confidence. She can't walk on a leash, outside the crate "paralyzes" her with fear. She isn't outgoing, she allows petting but doesn't demand it. She likes to lie in the sun on the grass. A home without small children would be better for her - she needs silence and calm. She will find her way in a house with a garden, as well as an apartment, but should live inside with people. This is a female dog, who needs to be shown the way and prove that humans are good. This is a dog with a baggage of experiences that isn't visible at first glance, especially in photos, but which affects every aspect of her daily life. Timid, withdrawn, avoiding contact - not because she doesn't want to be loved, but because life has taught her caution. If you're looking for a dog "ready to love" from the first day - this is not the case. This dog won't greet you wagging its tail or lie down next to you after five minutes. It needs time, calm, consistency and a lot of patience. Adopting such a dog doesn't start with signing a contract. It's a process that requires full commitment even at the stage of staying at the animal shelter - many meetings, building the relationship step by step, without pressure. Only then, when the dog itself shows that it's ready for the next step, can we talk about a home. This won't be an easy path. But for a person who is aware and ready to give the dog exactly the time it needs - it could be one of the most beautiful stories you can write together. Are you ready? Have you already had experience working with a nervous dog, do you know what it involves? Fill out the questionnaire. Weight: 10kg Leash: no Relationship with dogs: positive Spayed, deparasitized, vaccinated, microchipped, registered in the Safe Animal database. Located at: animal shelter Funny Pets in Czartki Czartki 49b, 98-200 Sieradz powiat sieradzki, woj.

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. Adopcja takiego psa nie zaczyna się od podpisania umowy. To proces, który wymaga pełnego zaangażowania jeszcze na etapie pobytu w schronisku – wielu spotkań, budowania relacji krok po kroku, bez presji. Dopiero wtedy, gdy pies sam pokaże, że jest gotowy na kolejny etap, można mówić o domu. To nie będzie prosta droga. Ale dla osoby świadomej i gotowej, by dać psu dokładnie tyle czasu, ile potrzebuje – może to być jedna z najpiękniejszych historii, jakie można razem napisać. Jesteś gotowy? Miałeś już doświadczenie w pracy z psem lękowym, wiesz, z czym to się wiąże? Wypełnij ankietę. Waga : 10kg Smycz : nie Stosunek do psów : pozytywny Została wysterylizowana, odpchlona, odrobaczona, zaszczepiona, zachipowana, zarejestrowana w bazie Safe Animal. Przebywa w: Schronisko Funny Pets w Czartkach Czartki 49b, 98-200 Sieradz powiat sieradzki, woj. łódzkie 43 828 36 46 - ogólny

About Demi

What life with Demi looks like

Demi is a small 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 Demi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Demi?
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 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 — 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 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 Fundacja Puszatek 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.
