Mirella

Female · Young · 2 years

Mirella suddenly appeared in Ursynów. She’s a frightened little dog who has certainly been through some tough times. Her coat is neglected, her ribs are visibly sunken, and she’s covered with ticks. For now, we’re getting to know each other and doing our best to care for her. We suspect that in a calm environment—perhaps a home with a garden—she’d recover much more quickly. It’s possible she once had a home but simply forgot what it’s like not to be afraid of people, to go for walks, and to have a warm bed. So far, it seems Mirella has no experience walking on a leash and approaches people with great caution. However, she feels comfortable around dogs in the play area.

Mirella pojawiła się nagle na Ursynowie. Wystraszona sunia, która na pewno ma za sobą jakiś niedobry czas. Sierść zaniedbana, boki zapadnięte i mnóstwo kleszczy. Na razie się zaprzyjaźniamy i staramy się zadbać o sunię. Podejrzewamy, że w spokojnych warunkach, być może w domu z ogrodem, doszłaby do siebie dużo szybciej. Możliwe, że jakiś dom miała tylko zapomniała jak to jest nie bać się ludzi, chodzić na spacery i mieć ciepłe posłanko. Póki co wygląda na to, że Mirella nie ma doświadczenia w chodzeniu na smyczy a do ludzi podchodzi z dużą ostrożnością. Za to z psami na wybiegu czuje się dobrze.

About Mirella

What life with Mirella looks like

Mirella 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 Mirella, answered.

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