Marusia

Female · Young · 3 years

Marusia went from domestic life to a cold kennel. She had her home and thought she'd stay forever, but humans disappointed and abandoned her. She still doesn't understand why. When alone in her kennel, her eyes say everything - she despairs, cries, longs for humans, warmth, and safe arms. For Marusia, humans are everything - she's a completely domestic dog who learned to love and trust despite being hurt. At home she's ideal: loves petting, play, walks, grateful for every moment with humans. She handles apartments and houses well. She likes children and previously lived with them. Marusia needs support with other dogs - currently fears them and sometimes reacts nervously, but we're teaching her dogs can be friends. Otherwise she loves play and is a true home ideal - calm, obedient, devoted to humans. She needs a patient, loving home ready to work with her sensitive heart.

Marusia marzy o domu w spokojnej okolicy, z dala od zgiełku i hałasu. Nie potrzebuje luksusów ani wielkich atrakcji. Marzy tylko o własnym kącie, ciepłym posłaniu i ludziach, którzy już nigdy jej nie zawiodą. Kiedyś miała swój dom. Niestety straciła go nie ze swojej winy i od tej pory każdy dzień spędza za schroniskowymi kratami - smutna i stęskniona za bliskością człowieka. To niezwykle delikatna i wrażliwa sunia, co sprawia, że schroniskowy rozgardiasz jest dla niej coraz bardziej nie do zniesienia. Tym pilniej szukamy dla niej domu - na dobre i na złe. Takiego, w którym będzie pełnoprawnym członkiem rodziny, kochanym i szanowanym przez całe życie. Szukamy rodziny gotowej dać jej czas, zrozumienie i poczucie bezpieczeństwa, którego tak bardzo potrzebuje. Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: Tonia 602 763 034 Ida 694 689 970 Dorota 534 308 839

About Marusia

What life with Marusia looks like

Marusia is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

An young 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 patience with dog socialization due to fear and nervous reactions around other dogs

🇵🇱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 Marusia, answered.

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