Adopt Mika

Female · Young · 1 year

Mika is cautious and distant at first contact. However, after a while she shows her wonderful, gentle nature. She still hesitates when leaving the kennel, but she loves walks and opens up the most on them. When she moves away from the shelter noise, she happily approaches people for pets and cuddles. She loves play! She encourages everyone around her. She looks for sticks and happily carries them. She likes treats - they give her courage. Mika is an active, young female dog. However, she does not pull on the leash and watches over the caregiver. Other dogs are not a problem for her. She does not get into fights. She is still getting to know Mika, but she has already captured the hearts of all volunteers. We see how the animal shelter stresses her...

Read original (pl)

Mika w pierwszym kontakcie jest ostrożna i zdystansowana. Jednak już po chwili pokazuje swoją cudowną, łagodną naturę. Z boksu wychodzi jeszcze niepewnie, ale kocha spacery i na nich najbardziej się otwiera. Gdy odejdzie od schroniskowego hałasu, chętnie podchodzi do człowieka na głaskanie i przytulanie. Uwielbia zabawę! Zachęca do niej wszystkich wokoło. Szuka patyczków i radośnie je nosi. Lubi smakołyki – one dodają jej odwagi. Mika to aktywna, młoda sunia. Jednak na smyczy nie ciągnie i pilnuje opiekuna. Inne psy nie stanowią dla niej problemu. Nie wchodzi w sprzeczki. Z Miką jeszcze się poznajemy, ale już złapała za serce wszystkich wolontariuszy. Widzimy, jak schronisko ją stresuje…

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika 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.

🇵🇱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 Mika, answered.

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