Adopt Fibi

Female · Senior · 15 years

Fibi is being adopted at the age of 2 years from an animal shelter after 13 returned to the starting point, only 13 years older 🙁 We don't know why – Fibi is a friendly, gentle and surprisingly in good shape. She is bold and energetic, gladly goes for walks, and handles the leash very well. She is coping not the worst with this drastic life change, trying to maintain her style. She arrived at the animal shelter underweight, but we hope she will soon regain her proper weight. She has had diagnostics and is taking medication to support her kidneys. Who will fall in love with this elegant gray lady and take her to a warm home?

Fibi adoptowana w wieku 2 lat ze schroniska po 13 wróciła do punktu wyjścia, tylko o 13 lat starsza 🙁 Nie wiemy dlaczego – Fibi jest sunią miłą, łagodną i w zaskakująco dobrej formie. Jest dziarska i energiczna, chętnie idzie na spacer, na smyczy radzi sobie świetnie. Z tą drastyczną życiową zmianą radzi sobie nie najgorzej, stara się zachować fason. Do schroniska trafiła wychudzona, ale mamy nadzieję, że niedługo odzyska prawidłową wagę. Przeszła diagnostykę i przyjmuje lek na wsparcie nerek. Kto pokocha tę elegancką siwą damę i zabierze ją do ciepłego domu?

About Fibi

What life with Fibi looks like

Fibi is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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.

Note from the shelter: Takes kidney support medication

🇵🇱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 Fibi, answered.

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