Diana

Female · Adult · 7 years

Diana is a rough-coated terrier - a medium-sized female dog who will steal your heart from the first meeting. She is adorable, charming and completely focused on people. If you are looking for a dog that loves closeness and contact, Diana will be a perfect match. She jumps onto your knees by herself, wraps her paws around your neck and cuddles with you as if saying: "You are my world." She loves being brushed and petted - she comes to you, leans in and absorbs your attention with great joy. She is very people-oriented and longs for contact. Diana walks nicely on a leash, knows a few basic commands (e.g., "sit"), although sometimes her emotions and curiosity for the world win over concentration. She enthusiastically explores her surroundings, and when there are strange sounds, it can awaken her "annoyed terrier" side - she is alert, expressive and amusingly reacts (e.g., to a siren... barking along with it 😄). When it comes to other dogs, she can be yappy, but with a wagging tail - not aggressive, rather emotional. She may probably live with cats - she previously lived in a house where there were also cats. Interestingly, Diana seems to know public transportation - she got into the bus with great enthusiasm, even amusing the driver. Diana ended up in the animal shelter not because of her own fault - her previous caregiver was hospitalized and could no longer take care of her. She really needs to feel like someone's again. For Diana, we are looking for a home where the person has time and willingness for closeness, cuddling and shared moments, but also understands that a dog needs space and respect for boundaries; a caregiver who understands the emotional, sensitive dog. Diana is a terrier-type dog, so she needs movement and interesting, longer walks. We are looking for a quiet home for her, with consistent but warm guidance. We do not recommend her for a home with small children, a loud home where a lot happens and which often receives guests. If Diana were to go to a home where there is already another pet, an introduction with the resident will be required.

Diana to szorstkowłosa iskierka miłości – średniej wielkości suczka w typie teriera, która absolutnie skradnie Ci serce od pierwszego spotkania. Jest urocza, rozbrajająca i totalnie skupiona na człowieku. Jeśli szukasz psa, który kocha bliskość i kontakt, Diana będzie strzałem w dziesiątkę. To sunia, która sama wskakuje na kolana, obejmuje szyję dwiema łapkami i tuli się całą sobą, jakby chciała powiedzieć: „jesteś moim światem”. Uwielbia głaskanie i mizianie – sama przychodzi, nastawia się i chłonie uwagę z ogromną radością. Jest bardzo proludzka i spragniona kontaktu. Diana ładnie chodzi na smyczy, zna kilka podstawowych komend (np. „siad”), choć bywa, że emocje i ciekawość świata wygrywają z koncentracją. Z zainteresowaniem poznaje otoczenie, a przy dziwnych dźwiękach potrafi obudzić się w niej „wkurzony terier” – jest czujna, ekspresyjna i zabawnie reaguje (np. na syrenę… wyjąc razem z nią 😄). W stosunku do innych psów bywa szczekliwa, ale z merdającym ogonem – bez agresji, raczej z emocji. Prawdopodobnie może zamieszkać z kotami – wcześniej mieszkała w domu, gdzie były także koty. Co ciekawe, Diana chyba zna komunikację miejską – do autobusu pakowała się z wielkim entuzjazmem, rozbawiając tym nawet kierowcę. Diana trafiła do schroniska nie ze swojej winy – jej była opiekunka trafiła do szpitala i nie mogła się dłużej nią zajmować. Bardzo potrzebuje znów poczuć się czyjaś. Dla Diany szukamy domu, w którym człowiek ma czas i chęć na bliskość, przytulanie i wspólne chwile, ale też rozumie, że psiak potrzebuje przestrzeni i poszanowania granic; opiekuna, który rozumie emocjonalnego, wrażliwego psa. Diana to pies w typie teriera, więc potrzebuje ruchu i ciekawych, dłuższych spacerów. Szukamy dla niej spokojnego domu, z konsekwentnym, ale ciepłym prowadzeniem. Nie polecamy jej do domu z małymi dziećmi, do domu głośnego, w którym dużo się dzieje i który często przyjmuje się gości. Jeśli Diana miałaby trafić do domu, gdzie jest już inne zwierzę, wymagane będzie zapoznanie z rezydentem.

About Diana

What life with Diana looks like

Diana is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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 Diana, answered.

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