Freja

Female · Adult · 4 years

Freja is a pleasant, strong female dog - a candidate for a wonderful life companion! We've recently met, but it's clear that Freja was once lucky with people - someone made her squint her eyes with joy at the sight of humans. The dog likes petting, compliments and admiration of her beauty and numerous assets. She's smart, doesn't seek trouble, is somewhat afraid of dogs, which she manifests by avoiding direct contact with those she doesn't know. She may growl at those she fears. Freja has character and won't hesitate to show it. She walks nicely on a leash - doesn't pull, stays close to her human, sniffs a lot, but also simply enjoys freedom and likes to frolic carelessly in the grass. She's great material for a devoted, tender companion for small and big adventures, very likely she would find herself in a larger family. We don't know how she reacts to children - she's a female who likes to have her way and be somewhat bossy, so small children may not be the best company for her. Remember that she probably didn't live in an apartment or city before, so expect that the adaptation period to new conditions may be longer, and things like car rides or elevators may initially confuse her greatly. Despite this, we're convinced that Freja will quickly find herself alongside nice people and nothing will stop her from being a super-dog!

Freja – wesoła, inteligenta i z charakterem. Pies o ludzkim spojrzeniu! Odkąd trafiła do schroniska, Freja zrobiła gigantyczne postępy! Wyrosła na zrównoważoną, świetnie zsocjalizowaną suczkę, która w kontaktach z innymi psami jest prawdziwą mistrzynią. Prawdziwa profesjonalistka w psim świecie: • Wszechstronna w stadzie: Freja uwielbia spacery grupowe. Działa jak najlepsza terapeutka – dla psów słabszych i niepewnych jest wspaniałym oparciem. • Zna zasady savoir-vivre’u: Nachalne i natrętne czworonogi szybko przywoła do porządku, a młode, rozbrykane szczylki szybko ustawi w szeregu. • Dusza towarzystwa: Choć jest już dojrzała, gdy trafi na miłego i kulturalnego psa, potrafi bez pamięci zatracić się w wesołych zapasach i po prostu poszaleć! Pies, z którym chciałoby się porozmawiać... Freja to niezwykle wesoła i mądra dziewczyna. Patrzy na człowieka w tak głęboki, wyrazisty sposób, że czasem można mieć wrażenie, jakby miała ludzki wzrok. Aż żałujesz, że nie potrafi mówić – na pewno miałaby do przekazania mnóstwo wartościowych przemyśleń! Ta jej głęboka inteligencja ma też drugą stronę: Freja doskonale obserwuje ludzi i... lubi ich testować. Sprawdza, na ile może sobie pozwolić i jak daleko przesunie granice, bo po prostu lubi stawiać na swoim. Jakiego domu szukamy? Freja szuka człowieka mądrego, dobrego, ale i stabilnego, który nie da się owinąć wokół palca. Potrzebuje opiekuna, który doceni jej inteligencję, da jej poczucie bezpieczeństwa i dotrzyma kroku jej silnej osobowości. Jeśli szukasz psa wybitnie mądrego, z którym stworzysz prawdziwe partnerstwo – Freja czeka właśnie na Ciebie! Małgosia 664923311

About Freja

What life with Freja looks like

Freja 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.

Note from the shelter: Needs adaptation time to urban/indoor living, may be stressed by cars and elevators

🇵🇱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 Freja, answered.

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