Maja

Female · Senior · 10 years

Maja is a super female dog, who falls in love with each new Volunteer. She is friendly and kind even to a newly met person. She happily jumps onto laps and eagerly accepts every petting. She causes no trouble, it seems like she's just the perfect dog. J Runs happily on walks, sniffs a lot, but also enjoys relaxing on the grass next to her human. Throughout the walk, the human's face never loses the smile - a female dog who infects others with her joy of life. She lives in a kennel with a canine companion and gets along well, so she could live in a home with another dog, after an initial meeting. In October she was at the Adopt a Warsaw Dog event, during which she stole many hearts. She behaved perfectly, was calm and polite, but also played in the sand, offered herself for petting, and was friendly to everyone, including children. She enjoyed playing with other dogs. She went on a trip by bus, as if she had done it all her life. She showed herself as a city dog. She was happy for a while, unfortunately she had to return to the shelter kennel. Maja is an energetic and cheerful girl, but also needs careful attention to her health. She had changes removed from the mammary gland, but they turned out to be harmless lipomas. She feels good now. Come for a meet and greet walk with sweet Maja. Female dog under the care of Group G1.

Maja to super sunia, która rozkochuje w sobie kolejnych Wolontariuszy. Nawet do nowo poznanego człowieka jest życzliwa i przyjacielska. Chętnie ładuje się na kolana i przyjmuje z ochotą każde drapanko. Nie sprawia żadnych kłopotów, wygląda na to, że to po prostu pies idealny J Radośnie biegnie na spacer, dużo wącha, ale nie pogardzi także relaksem na trawce obok człowieka. Przez cały spacer patrząc na Maję uśmiech człowiekowi nie schodzi z twarzy – sunia zaraża swoją radością życia. Mieszka w boksie z psim kolegą i dogadują się, mogłaby zatem zamieszkać w domu z drugim psiakiem, po uprzednim zapoznaniu. W październiku była na akcji Adoptuj Warszawiaka, podczas której skradła wiele serc. Zachowywała się idealnie, była spokojna i grzeczna, ale także brykała po piasku, nadstawiała się do głaskania, zachowywała się życzliwie do wszystkich, także do dzieci. Chętnie bawiła się z innymi psiakami. Na wycieczkę pojechała autobusem, jakby robiła to od zawsze. Pokazała się jako miejski piesek. Była przez chwilę szczęśliwa, niestety potem musiała wrócić do schroniskowego boksu. Maja jest energiczną i wesołą sunią, ale potrzebuje także troskliwego zadbania o jej zdrowie. Miała usuwane zmiany na listwie mlecznej, ale okazały się niegroźnymi tłuszczakami. Teraz czuje się już dobrze. Zapraszamy na spacerek zapoznawczy ze słodką Mają. Sunia pod opieką Grupy G1.

About Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja is a medium-sized 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: Previous benign fatty lumps removed from mammary glands, currently healthy

🇵🇱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 Maja, answered.

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