Lucynka

Female · Adult · 5 years

This is a beautiful, sensitive and extremely delicate female dog who loves people - although she gives her trust slowly, with great caution. On walks she opens up step by step, walking calmly on a leash, always close to the caregiver, as if wanting to make sure she will not be left alone. In the kennel run, however, she is a different dog... She lies quietly, staring at one point. Without complaints, without noise. Only that look - full of sadness, which breaks the heart. This is the look of a dog who so desperately needs home, closeness and arms where she can feel safe. Lucynka loves to be cuddled, touch brings her comfort. She gets along well with other dogs, she is gentle and unobtrusive. She came to us together with her puppy - from the beginning she showed how big her heart is. Now she is waiting... Waiting for someone who will see in her not only sadness, but also a huge love that she has to offer. Someone who will give her time, patience and a real home.

PL·Show original

To przepiękna, wrażliwa i niezwykle delikatna sunia, która bardzo kocha ludzi — choć swoje zaufanie oddaje powoli, z ogromną ostrożnością. Na spacerach otwiera się krok po kroku, idąc spokojnie na smyczy, zawsze blisko opiekuna, jakby chciała upewnić się, że nie zostanie sama. W kojcu jest jednak innym psem… Leży cicho, wpatrzona w jeden punkt. Bez skarg, bez hałasu. Tylko ten wzrok — pełen smutku, który łamie serce. To spojrzenie psa, który tak bardzo potrzebuje domu, bliskości i ramion, w których będzie mógł poczuć się bezpiecznie. Lucynka uwielbia być przytulana, dotyk daje jej ukojenie. Dobrze dogaduje się z innymi pieskami, jest łagodna i nienarzucająca się. Trafiła do nas razem ze swoim szczeniakiem — już od początku pokazała, jak wielkie ma serce. Teraz czeka… Czeka na kogoś, kto zobaczy w niej nie tylko smutek, ale też ogromną miłość, jaką ma do zaoferowania. Kogoś, kto da jej czas, cierpliwość i prawdziwy dom.

About Lucynka

What life with Lucynka looks like

Lucynka 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 patient, gentle approach due to emotional trauma and trust issues

🇵🇱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 Lucynka, answered.

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