Kawa

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

KAWA is a beautiful female dog of the American Staffordshire Terrier type, with a distinctive coffee-colored coat. She arrived at the shelter relatively recently, but spending time in a kennel clearly doesn't suit her well. She’s a strong, energetic girl who desperately needs plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a human companion with whom she can feel safe. On walks, she’s very lively and full of energy. She can walk nicely on a leash, but when something catches her attention or she senses an interesting scent, her natural strength comes to the fore—so her future guardian should be consistent and have a bit of strength in their hands. KAWA knows basic commands such as “sit” and “shake,” and she can calm down beautifully when given these cues. Learning new things comes easily to her. Due to her temperament, it can sometimes be challenging for her to stay focused, but she’s intelligent and eager to cooperate with her human companion. With the right guidance, she’ll certainly make great progress. In her interactions with people, she needs time to adjust. At first, she tends to keep her distance and avoids close contact, but once she trusts someone, she gives them her whole heart. She’s incredibly loyal and forms deep bonds with her human. We’re looking for a home that’s fully aware of the needs of dogs of the American Staffordshire Terrier type. At this time, KAWA doesn’t get along well with other dogs. She also has more difficulty interacting with men. It’s possible that in the past she experienced mistreatment, which is why she reacts with intense fear and defensive behavior toward certain individuals. She requires a patient guardian who respects her boundaries, dedicates time to her, helps her find peace, and shows her that humans can be a source of support—not a threat. In return, she’ll gain a faithful, devoted friend who, with the right person by her side, has the chance to truly blossom and finally experience what a real home feels like.

KAWA to piękna suczka w typie amstaffa o wyjątkowym, kawowym umaszczeniu. Do schroniska trafiła stosunkowo niedawno, jednak pobyt w boksie zdecydowanie jej nie służy. To silna, pełna energii dziewczyna, która najbardziej potrzebuje ruchu, zajęcia i człowieka, przy którym będzie mogła poczuć się bezpiecznie. Na spacerach jest bardzo żywiołowa. Potrafi ładnie iść na smyczy, jednak gdy coś ją zainteresuje lub wyczuje, daje o sobie znać jej siła,dlatego przyszły opiekun powinien być osobą konsekwentną i mieć trochę siły w rękach. KAWA zna podstawowe komendy takie jak „siad” czy „podaj łapę” przy których bardzo ładnie potrafi się wyciszyć. Nauka nowych rzeczy przychodzi jej z łatwością. Ze względu na swój temperament czasami trudno jej się skupić, ale jest inteligentna i chętnie współpracuje z człowiekiem. Przy odpowiednim prowadzeniu z pewnością zrobi duże postępy. W relacji z ludźmi potrzebuje czasu. Na początku bywa zdystansowana i unika bliższego kontaktu, jednak kiedy zaufa, oddaje człowiekowi całe swoje serce. Jest niezwykle lojalna i mocno przywiązuje się do swojej osoby. Szukamy dla niej domu świadomego potrzeb psów w typie amstaffa. KAWA nie akceptuje na tą chwilę innych psów Trudniejsze relacje ma również z mężczyznami. Możliwe, że w przeszłości doświadczyła złego traktowania, dlatego wobec niektórych reaguje bardzo silnym lękiem i obroną. Wymaga cierpliwego opiekuna, który uszanuje jej granice, poświęci czas i pomoże odnaleźć spokój oraz pokaże, że człowiek może być dla niej wsparciem, a nie zagrożeniem. W zamian zyska wierną, oddaną przyjaciółkę, która przy odpowiednim człowieku ma szansę rozkwitnąć i w końcu poczuć, czym jest prawdziwy dom.

About Kawa

What life with Kawa looks like

Kawa is a medium-sized 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 Kawa, answered.

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