How do I contact the shelter about Figa?

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 Figa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Figa 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 Figa 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 Figa 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 Figa 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.

Figa

Female · Young · 1 year

Recently a little beauty joined us! This female dog received the name Figa from us and is slowly trying to find her way in the shelter world. We don't know the history of this puppy and we don't know why the first months of her life were spent behind the bars of a cage. The tiny one currently has a hard time adjusting to her new reality - she is unsure, on one hand she wants to trust, on the other hand, she seems to always be afraid that a human hand might hurt her... Fortunately, after a few minutes spent together in the cage, Figa approaches us and allows us to put on her harness, although she is still most often carried on our arms when going for a walk outside the animal shelter. Only away from the shelter's noise she can relax a bit, although she still nervously looks around and listens... Once we get to know each other better, we will start looking for this wonderful new home - but we invite you to fall in love already now! Figa is looking for a home where it won't be the first dog in her life. The home must be patient and located in a quiet area. This female dog won't find herself in a house with small children (under 10 years old). We don't know her attitude towards cats. However, she will probably get along well with a nice and supportive dog resident. By the way, we invite you to our volunteers' social media groups, where you will find reports about the lives of the shelter's residents, information about adoptions, greetings from homes, educational posts and much more! • Instagram Odmień Świat Czterech Łap: • Instagram Paluszaki: • Facebook: • TikTok:

Niedawno dołączyła do nas taka mini-piękność! Sunia dostała od nas na imię Figa i powoli próbuje odnaleźć się w schroniskowym świecie. Nie znamy historii tego psiego dziecka i nie wiemy, dlaczego pierwsze miesiące życia przyszło spędzać jej za kratą boksu. Malutka póki co kiepsko znosi swoją nową rzeczywistość - jest niepewna, z jednej strony chce zaufać, z drugiej tak jakby cały czas bała się, czy ludzka ręka aby na pewno nie zrobi jej krzywdy… Na szczęście po kilku minutach spędzonych razem w boksie Figa podchodzi do nas i pozwala założyć sobie szeleczki, choć na spacer poza schronisko cały czas najchętniej wynoszona jest na rękach. Dopiero z dala od schroniskowego zgiełku potrafi trochę się zrelaksować, choć wciąż nerwowo rozgląda się dookoła i nasłuchuje… Gdy tylko poznamy się lepiej, zaczniemy szukać tej cudowności nowego domu - ale do zakochiwania się zapraszamy już teraz! Figa szuka domu, dla którego nie będzie to pierwszy w życiu psi podopieczny. Dom musi być cierpliwy i w spokojnej okolicy. Sunia nie odnajdzie się w domu z małymi (poniżej 10 roku życia) dziećmi. Nie znamy jej stosunku do kotów. Prawdopodobnie natomiast dogadałaby się z miłym i wspierającym psem rezydentem. Przy okazji, zapraszamy na media społecznościowe naszej grupy wolontariuszy, gdzie znajdziecie relacje z życia podopiecznych Schroniska, informacje o adopcjach, pozdrowienia z domów, posty edukacyjne i wiele innych! • Instagram Odmień Świat Czterech Łap: • Instagram Paluszaki: • Facebook: • TikTok:

About Figa

What life with Figa looks like

Figa is a small young adult dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient home in quiet area, fearful and needs socialization

🇵🇱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.
