Lamia

Female · Adult · 5 years

Lamia is a small, very sensitive female dog. At first, she did not allow anyone to approach her - she hid in the kennel, and the constant noise from dogs in neighboring cages only worsened her condition. Only after moving to a separate house did we manage to gradually establish contact with her and start going out for walks. Lamia turned out to be a very charming girl - she walks well on a leash, listens to people and is open to contacts with other dogs. Unfortunately, in a noisy environment, among barking dogs, she again withdraws and is very afraid, so Lamia urgently needs to leave the animal shelter. This is a female dog that will require patience and space from her future caregiver, but we have already seen how gentle and delicate she can be. We are looking for a quiet home and empathetic people willing to help her start everything over again.

Lamia to mała, bardzo wrażliwa suczka. Na początku nie pozwalała się do siebie zbliżyć — chowała się w budzie, a ciągły hałas od psów z sąsiednich boksów tylko pogarszał jej stan. Dopiero po przeniesieniu do osobnego domku udało nam się stopniowo nawiązać z nią kontakt i zacząć wychodzić na spacery. Lamia okazała się niezwykle uroczą dziewczynką — dobrze chodzi na smyczy, słucha człowieka i jest otwarta na kontakty z innymi psami. Niestety w hałaśliwym otoczeniu, wśród szczekających psów, ponownie się zamyka i bardzo się boi, dlatego Lamia pilnie potrzebuje opuścić schronisko. To suczka, która będzie wymagała cierpliwości i przestrzeni ze strony przyszłego opiekuna, jednak już widzieliśmy, jak czuła i delikatna potrafi być. Szukamy dla niej spokojnego domu oraz empatycznych ludzi, gotowych pomóc jej zacząć wszystko od nowa.

About Lamia

What life with Lamia looks like

Lamia 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: Requires quiet environment, patient owner due to anxiety and noise sensitivity

🇵🇱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 Lamia, answered.

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