How do I contact the shelter about Matcha?

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 Matcha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Matcha 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 Matcha 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 Matcha 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 Matcha 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.

Matcha

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

I am Matcha. I am a shy little girl who is looking for my forever home. I am around 3-4 years old and I am a medium-sized dog. I am not the type of dog that immediately runs up, jumps on your lap and says "Hey, we are the best friends!". 🥺 I need a little more time. For a long time I was very afraid of the world. People, new sounds, gestures, everything I didn't know. Trust didn't come easily... But someone gave me time. And patience. And thanks to that I started to take small but for me huge steps. ❤️ Today I am more often seeking contact with people. 👀🐾 I observe, learn, get to know everyday life and slowly discover that the world doesn't have to be so scary. I now live in a temporary home with our volunteer and it is here that I have really started to flourish. 🌿❤️ I also get along with cats. 🐱🐶 But the temporary home is just a stop. I really want to finally have my own home. A quiet one. Without hurry. Without expectations that I will be brave and perfect on the first day. I need a person who will let me be myself. Who will understand that sometimes instead of approaching, I will need to withdraw. That my small steps will be great successes. And that one day I can come to you myself, put my head next to your hand and say in my own way: "I trust you now". 🥹❤️ I don't know what life in my own home looks like. But I really want to learn. Maybe you will show me that I don't have to be afraid of the world anymore? 🏡🌿🐾 📍 I am currently in a temporary home with our volunteer. 📞 If you want to meet me and give me a chance: 84 641 12 86 I am not looking for a perfect home. I am looking for a person who will have enough patience to wait until my heart opens on its own. ❤️🐾

🌿🐾 Cześć… jestem Matcha. Trochę nieśmiało szukam swojego człowieka. 🐾🌿 Mam około 3–4 lat i jestem średniej wielkości sunią. Nie jestem typem psa, który od razu podbiegnie, wskoczy Ci na kolana i powie: „Hej, jesteśmy najlepszymi przyjaciółmi!”. 🥺 Ja potrzebuję trochę więcej czasu. Przez długi czas bardzo bałam się świata. Ludzi, nowych dźwięków, gestów, wszystkiego, czego nie znałam. Zaufanie nie przyszło mi łatwo… Ale ktoś dał mi czas. I cierpliwość. I dzięki temu zaczęłam robić małe, ale dla mnie ogromne kroki. ❤️ Dziś coraz częściej sama szukam kontaktu z człowiekiem. 👀🐾 Obserwuję, uczę się, poznaję codzienność i powoli odkrywam, że świat wcale nie musi być taki straszny. Teraz mieszkam w domu tymczasowym u naszej wolontariuszki i właśnie tutaj zaczęłam naprawdę rozkwitać. 🌿❤️ Dogaduję się również z kotami. 🐱🐶 Ale dom tymczasowy jest tylko przystankiem. Ja bardzo chciałabym w końcu mieć swój własny dom. Taki spokojny. Bez pośpiechu. Bez oczekiwań, że pierwszego dnia będę odważna i idealna. Potrzebuję człowieka, który pozwoli mi być sobą. Który zrozumie, że czasami zamiast podejść, będę potrzebowała się wycofać. Że moje małe kroczki będą wielkimi sukcesami. I że pewnego dnia mogę przyjść do Ciebie sama, położyć głowę obok Twojej ręki i powiedzieć po swojemu: „Już Ci ufam”. 🥹❤️ Nie wiem jeszcze, jak wygląda życie w swoim domu. Ale bardzo chciałabym się tego nauczyć. Może właśnie Ty pokażesz mi, że nie muszę już bać się świata? 🏡🌿🐾 📍 Aktualnie przebywam w domu tymczasowym u naszej wolontariuszki. 📞 Jeśli chcesz mnie poznać i dać mi szansę: 84 641 12 86 Nie szukam domu idealnego. Szukam człowieka, który będzie miał wystarczająco dużo cierpliwości, żeby poczekać, aż moje serduszko samo się otworzy. ❤️🐾

About Matcha

What life with Matcha looks like

Matcha 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.
