Modi

Male · Adult · 4 years

Modi is a small, cute puppy who was most likely raised as a stray. At first, he was very confused and easily excited - he didn't know about walks or leashes, and every dog he met seemed like a threat. Today, he is a completely different Modi! He has made great progress - he walks nicely on a leash, listens to people and is getting better at handling daily situations. Although too much contact with people can still slightly excite him, he has learned to calm down quickly, and in new or more difficult moments, he clearly seeks support from the caregiver. In relationships with other dogs, he is still a bit unsure, but he is making consistent progress - he already participates in group walks, and even had the opportunity to meet other dogs during adoption events. The rest is a matter of time, patience and proper socialization. Modi is not afraid of cars or city noise and could live in the city, but due to his sensitivity, he would be best suited for a quieter area. This is an ideal, small dog with moderate energy, who primarily needs support, understanding and care. In return, he will certainly become a loyal and wonderful friend.

PL·Show original

Modi to niewielki, uroczy piesek, który najprawdopodobniej dorastał jako bezdomny. Na początku był bardzo zagubiony i łatwo się ekscytował – nie znał szelek ani spacerów na smyczy, a każdy napotkany pies wydawał mu się zagrożeniem. Dziś to już zupełnie inny Modi! Zrobił ogromne postępy – pięknie chodzi na smyczy, potrafi słuchać człowieka i coraz lepiej odnajduje się w codziennych sytuacjach. Choć nadmiar kontaktu z ludźmi wciąż może go jeszcze trochę pobudzać, nauczył się szybko wyciszać, a w nowych lub trudniejszych momentach wyraźnie szuka wsparcia u opiekuna. W relacjach z innymi psami nadal bywa nieco niepewny, ale robi stałe postępy – uczestniczy już we wspólnych spacerach, a nawet miał okazję poznawać inne psy podczas wydarzeń adopcyjnych. Reszta to kwestia czasu, cierpliwości i odpowiedniej socjalizacji. Modi nie boi się samochodów ani miejskiego hałasu i mógłby zamieszkać w mieście, jednak ze względu na swoją wrażliwość najlepiej odnalazłby się w spokojniejszej okolicy. To idealny, niewielki pies o umiarkowanej energii, który potrzebuje przede wszystkim wsparcia, zrozumienia i troski. W zamian z pewnością stanie się wiernym i wspaniałym przyjacielem.

About Modi

What life with Modi looks like

Modi 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: Emotionally sensitive, needs support with dog interactions, likely never had a proper home before

🇵🇱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 Modi, answered.

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