ERNA

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 1 month

If you want to change the fate of a defenseless, young creature and give a safe haven to a heart that most needs peace, tenderness and understanding right now - meet Erna! This beautiful girl was born around 2025, which means she is only about a year old. Erna is at the beginning of her adult life - she should spend years by the side of a loving guide, not behind shelter bars. She weighs about 12.5 kg, representing an ideal, medium-sized and very elegant format that will fit in any home or apartment! Erna is a dog with an unusual, natural beauty and a very sensitive soul. At the moment she is very scared, uncertain and intimidated by the reality of the shelter. However, there is no trace of aggression in her behavior - it is a quiet, defenseless creature that masks paralyzing fear with withdrawal and needs a moment to feel the ground under her paws. Erna still can't walk on a leash - for her it's a complete novelty that she will only learn alongside a tolerant caregiver. The shelter box is a huge stress for such a young and fearful female dog - Erna urgently needs a warm home, peace and time to open her wounded heart in a safe environment and trust a human! Why does unique and subtle Erna need you? Excellent relationship with other dogs: Erna accepts other dogs wonderfully! In the company of a calm, four-legged friend, she feels much more confident and safe, so the presence of a balanced resident dog in a new home will be invaluable support for her in overcoming fears. Youth and pure potential: At just about a year old, she absorbs everything in the blink of an eye - with a patient and affectionate person, she will quickly master the household rules and learn cleanliness and walking on a leash. Compact size and golden heart: Weighing 12.5 kg, she is a handy, wonderful female dog who will repay the love and patience shown to her with the most beautiful, lifelong love forever. We are looking for a peaceful, safe and empathetic home for Erna - a family that is understanding and will not exert pressure and allow her to open up to the world at her own pace. Give her a safe haven, and this charming girl will become your most loyal friend forever!

Jeśli pragniesz odmienić los bezbronnej, młodej istoty i podarować bezpieczny azyl serduszku, które najbardziej na świecie potrzebuje teraz spokoju, czułości i zrozumienia – poznaj Ernę! Ta śliczna panienka urodziła się około 2025 roku, co oznacza, że ma obecnie zaledwie około roku. Erna znajduje się na samym początku dorosłego życia – przed nią całe lata, które powinna spędzić u boku kochającego przewodnika, a nie za schroniskowymi kratami. Waży około 12,5 kg, reprezentując idealny, średniej wielkości i bardzo zgrabny format, który bez problemu odnajdzie się w każdym domu czy mieszkaniu! Erna to sunia o niezwykłej, naturalnej urodzie i bardzo wrażliwej duszy. Na ten moment jest mocno wystraszona, niepewna i onieśmielona schroniskową rzeczywistością. W jej zachowaniu nie ma jednak ani cienia agresji – to cicha, bezbronna istotka, która paraliżujący lęk maskuje wycofaniem i potrzebuje chwili, by poczuć grunt pod łapkami. Erna nie potrafi jeszcze chodzić na smyczy – na ten moment to dla niej zupełna nowość, której dopiero będzie się uczyć u boku wyrozumiałego opiekuna. Schroniskowy boks to dla tak młodej i lękliwej suczki ogromny stres – Erna pilnie potrzebuje ciepłego domu, spokoju i czasu, by w bezpiecznych warunkach otworzyć swoje zranione serduszko i zaufać człowiekowi! Dlaczego wyjątkowa i subtelna Erna potrzebuje właśnie Ciebie? Genialny stosunek do innych psów: Erna wspaniale akceptuje inne psy! W towarzystwie spokojnego, czworonożnego przyjaciela czuje się znacznie pewniej i bezpieczniej, dlatego obecność zrównoważonego psa rezydenta w nowym domu będzie dla niej nieocenionym wsparciem w przełamywaniu lęków. Młodość i czysty potencjał: Mając zaledwie około roku, chłonie wszystko w mgnieniu oka – przy cierpliwym i serdecznym człowieku szybko opanuje domowe zasady oraz naukę czystości i chodzenia na smyczy. Kompaktowy rozmiar i złote serce: Ważąc 12,5 kg, to poręczna, wspaniała sunia, która za okazane serce i cierpliwość odwdzięczy się najpiękniejszą, dozgonną miłością na całe życie. Szukamy dla Erny domu spokojnego, bezpiecznego i pełnego empatii – rodziny wyrozumiałej, która nie będzie wywierać presji i pozwoli jej otwierać się na świat we własnym tempie. Podaruj jej bezpieczną przystań, a ta urocza dziewczyna stanie się Twoją najwierniejszą przyjaciółką na zawsze!

About ERNA

What life with ERNA looks like

ERNA is a medium-sized 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 ERNA, answered.

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