Mija

Female · Adult · 6 years

Has Mija already lost hope that anyone will ever notice her? Has she come to terms with an eternity behind bars? We’re hoping not... but we haven’t received a single call about her. Zero interested parties—even just one question... 😞 Mija herself would probably tell you best about herself 🦦 Hi there! If you’re looking for a dog who’s truly special and one-of-a-kind—well, here I am! I promise you’ve never met anyone with such a complex personality 😀 You know what’s most important? Water and snow are my element! Puddles? My specialty. A stream? Right this way 🩵 I don’t want to brag (but maybe just a little bit)—I’m an otter in dog’s clothing. I swim, splash, wade, and roll around in the mud. My nose is always wet—and that’s no accident! Actually... my nose is my second-favorite tool after my tail. I sniff every bush, every patch of grass—I’m a detective on four paws 🔍 I love walks, especially when I’m out with bigger dogs, because being part of a pack makes everything better: running, rolling around, and of course, sniffing trees together! I also have a soft spot for treats—but not just any treats! First, I’ll play with them, toss them up, roll them around like a ball... and only then do I elegantly crunch them down 🥓 I really enjoy learning, too. Especially if the person is nice, speaks to me in a warm voice, and has yummy snacks in their pocket. I’m a bit impatient, but ultimately, I’m really eager to cooperate. There’s just one thing that puzzles me... Why hasn’t anyone asked yet: “Hey, is that striped beauty with the wet nose available?” Well, I am! I’m waiting, ready for new adventures—with a sparkle in my eye, energy in my paws, and a heart full of hope. I’m looking for a home in a quiet neighborhood, with people who aren’t afraid of puddles or snowy shenanigans. So? See you soon? Maybe even sooner than you think? Your Mija—wet nose, wet paws, big heart. ☎️ Contact for adoption: Magda 609 266 951 Wanda 792 886 672 Behaviorist 514 360 970 Magda 609266951 Wanda 792886672 Behaviorist 514360970

Czy Mija już straciła nadzieję, że ktoś ją wypatrzy? Czy pogodziła się z wiecznością za kratkami? Mamy nadzieję, że nie...ale nie odebraliśmy żadnego telefonu w jej sprawie. Zero zainteresowanych, nawet jednego pytania... 😞 Najlepiej opowie o sobie sama Mija 🦦 Cześć, jeśli szukacie pieska bardzo wyjątkowego i niepowtarzalnego- to jestem! Obiecuję, że nie poznaliście nikogo o tak skomplikowanej osobowości 😀 Wiecie co jest najważniejsze? Woda i śnieg to mój żywioł! Kałuże? Moja specjalność. Strumień? Proszę bardzo 🩵 Nie chcę się chwalić (ale trochę chcę) – jestem wydrą w przebraniu psa. Pływam, chlapię, brodzę, tarzam się. Nos zawsze mam mokry – i to nie przypadek! Zresztą... nos to moje drugie ulubione narzędzie po ogonie. Obwąchuję każdy krzak, każdą kępkę trawy to ja detektywka na czterech łapach 🔍 Kocham spacery, szczególnie z większymi psiakami, bo w stadzie wszystko jest lepsze: bieganie, tarzanie, no i wspólne obwąchiwanie drzew! Mam też słabość do smaczków, ale nie byle jak! Najpierw się takim żwaczem pobawię, podrzucę, poturlam jak piłką… a dopiero potem elegancko schrupię 🥓 Lubię się uczyć, naprawdę. Zwłaszcza jeśli człowiek jest fajny, mówi do mnie ciepłym głosem i ma smaczki w kieszeni. Jestem trochę niecierpliwa, ale ostatecznie bardzo chcę współpracować. Tylko jedno mnie dziwi… Czemu jeszcze nikt nie zapytał: „Ej, a ta pręgowana piękność z mokrym nosem to wolna?” No bo jestem. Czekam gotowa na nowe przygody. Z błyskiem w oku, energią w łapach i sercem pełnym nadziei. Szukam domu w spokojnej okolicy z ludźmi, którzy nie boją się kałuż oraz śnieżnych szaleństw Zatem? Do zobaczenia? Może niedługo? Wasza Mija – mokry nos, mokre łapy, wielkie serducho. ☎️ Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: Magda 609 266 951 Wanda 792 886 672 Behawiorystka 514 360 970 Magda 609266951 Wanda 792886672 Behawiorystka 514360970

About Mija

What life with Mija looks like

Mija 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 quiet rural environment, requires extended adoption process for trust building

🇵🇱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 Mija, answered.

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