Kama

Female · Senior · 12 years

The animal is under the care of the foundation and does not reside in an animal shelter. People interested in adoption are kindly asked to contact the foundation directly. Hello! This is Kama! I am a beautiful 12-year-old Corgi who has had it easy all her life... I once had a home. But it was not a good home. I lived with a person who did not know how to or wanted to take care of me. I didn't go for walks, no one pet me, brushed me, or took care of my health. My teeth rotted, my fur matted into clumps, and lumps grew on my belly. My soul also suffered because, like every Corgi, I really need human contact. Eventually, I was given up to the animal shelter. I ended up at Paluch, in a concrete kennel, behind bars. In a way, life was the same as before, only in constant noise... But a new element also appeared - volunteers and caregivers who said I needed to be taken care of. They started brushing me, petting me, taking me to the vet, showing me the world by taking me on trips. And I really liked all of this! It turned out I play with toys like a puppy! In September 2025, luck smiled at me, I left the animal shelter and am now under the care of the Foundation Przyjaciele Palucha. I live in a home hotel near Warsaw, I have a warm bed, great care, and the company of many dog friends. I regularly go for rehabilitation, had dental cleaning and a complete check-up. We already know that I get along well both in the city and outside of it. I need some time to trust a new person, but when that happens, you will gain the most faithful friend for life, I promise! What else about me? I'm not a fan of long walks, my paws are already weak, but I like to lie on the grass and observe the world. I think I would get along with a resident dog, and even with a cat. Due to my health condition, I must live in a house with a garden or an apartment building with an elevator. The foundation is looking for a home for me where I will stay forever - with financial and logistical support from the foundation for my new caregiver. By the way, my volunteers invite you to their social media, where you will find stories about the lives of the animal shelter's wards, information about adoptions, greetings from homes, educational posts, and much more!

Zwierzę jest pod opieką fundacji i nie przebywa w Schronisku. Osoby zainteresowane adopcją prosimy o bezpośredni kontakt z fundacją. Serwus! Tu Kama! Jestem śliczną, 12-letnią owczareczką, która całe życie miała pod górkę… Kiedyś miałam dom. Ale to nie był dobry dom. Mieszkałam z osobą, która nie potrafiła i nie chciała się mną zajmować. Nie wychodziłam na spacery, nikt mnie nie głaskał, nie czesał, nie dbał o moje zdrowie. Psuły mi się zęby, sierść zbijała się w kołtuny, na brzuchu wyrosły guzki. Cierpiała też moja dusza, bo, jak każdy owczarek, bardzo potrzebuję kontaktu z człowiekiem. W końcu zostałam oddana do schroniska. Trafiłam na Paluch, do betonowego boksu, za kraty. W sumie życie jak wcześniej, tylko w wiecznym hałasie… Ale pojawił się też nowy element – wolontariusze i opiekunowie, którzy powiedzieli, że trzeba o mnie zadbać. Zaczęli mnie czesać, głaskać, zabierać do weterynarza, pokazywać świat, zabierając na wycieczki. No i całkiem mi się to wszystko spodobało! Okazało się, że zabawkami bawię się jak szczeniaczek! We wrześniu 2025 r. szczęście się do mnie uśmiechnęło, opuściłam Schronisko i obecnie jestem podopieczną Fundacji Przyjaciele Palucha. Mieszkam w domowym hoteliku pod Warszawą, mam ciepłe posłanko, świetną opiekę i towarzystwo wielu psich kolegów. Regularnie jeżdżę na rehabilitację, miałam sanację ząbków i komplet badań. Wiemy już, że świetnie odnajduję się zarówno w mieście, jak i poza nim. Potrzebuję chwili, by zaufać nowej osobie, ale kiedy tak się stanie – zyskasz najwierniejszego przyjaciela na całe życie, obiecuję! Co jeszcze o mnie? Nie jestem fanką długich spacerów, moje łapki są już słabe, ale lubię poleżeć na trawie i poobserwować świat. Myślę, że dogadałabym się z pieskiem-rezydentem, a nawet z kotem. Ze względu na stan zdrowia muszę mieszkać w domu z ogrodem lub w bloku z windą. Fundacja szuka dla mnie domu, w którym zostanę już na zawsze - przy finansowym i logistycznym wsparciu Fundacji dla mojego nowego opiekuna. Przy okazji, moi wolontariusze zapraszają na swoje media społecznościowe, gdzie znajdziecie relacje z życia podopiecznych Schroniska, informacje o adopcjach, pozdrowienia z domów, posty edukacyjne i wiele innych!

About Kama

What life with Kama looks like

Kama is a large 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: Weak legs, needs house with garden or apartment with elevator, requires ongoing veterinary care and rehabilitation

🇵🇱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 Kama, answered.

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