Etna

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 10 months

Etna is a female dog of the shepherd type, approximately 10 years old. Her owner decided to get rid of her and tied her to a tree. She was neglected, dirty and had a large tumor on her belly. She was bathed, had the tumor removed and is now ready to start a new chapter in her life. ❤️ Despite her difficult experiences, Etna remains gentle and friendly. She is happy to approach people, asks for pets and calmly tolerates grooming and veterinary procedures. She does not like other animals, so she will best find herself as the only pet in the house. She is vaccinated and spayed, her number: 336/26. Contact for adoption: 512 281 853 (Mon-Fri).

Etna to sunia w typie owczarka, ma około 10 lat. Jej właściciel postanowił jej się pozbyć i przywiązał ją do drzewa. Była zaniedbana, brudna i miała duży guz na brzuchu. Została wykąpana, przeszła zabieg usunięcia guza i dziś jest gotowa rozpocząć nowy rozdział swojego życia. ❤️ Mimo trudnych doświadczeń Etna pozostała łagodna i przyjazna. Chętnie podchodzi do ludzi, prosi o głaski i spokojnie znosi zabiegi pielęgnacyjne oraz weterynaryjne. Nie przepada za innymi zwierzętami, dlatego najlepiej odnajdzie się jako jedyna pupilka w domu. Jest zaszczepiona i wysterylizowana, jej numer:336/26. Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: 512 281 853 (pn-pt ).

About Etna

What life with Etna looks like

Etna is a large 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 Etna, answered.

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