Nela

Female · Adult · 4 years

Nela is a small, adorable female dog who is still a bit intimidated by the animal shelter. However, she excels on walks and outside her enclosure. She is cheerful, friendly, and eager for human interaction. She’s not afraid of the city and can ride in a car. Nela used to have a family, including a four-legged brother. She also lived with a child around five years old. From what we know, they got along well together. Unfortunately, over time, the priorities of the owners and family circumstances changed, leaving no time for Nela and the desire to work with her. Straight from the couch, female dog ended up at the animal shelter. Despite her sad story, Nela doesn’t give up and enjoys every walk. Unfortunately, at the animal shelter, we can’t give her the attention she would need. Nela is waiting for someone who will give her a permanent home, so she never has to return to the animal shelter again. She would fit in well with a couple, a single person, or a larger family. female dog is under the care of group G1.

PL·Show original

Nela to niewielkich rozmiarów, urocza suczka, która jest jeszcze nieco przytłoczona schroniskiem. Za to na spacerach, poza boksem świetnie się odnajduje. Jest wesoła, przyjacielska i spragniona kontaktu z człowiekiem. Nie boi się miasta, potrafi jeździć autem. Nela już kiedyś miała swoją rodzinę, w tym czworonożnego brata. Mieszkała także z kilkuletnim dzieckiem. Z tego co wiemy, z obojgiem dobrze się dogadywała. Niestety, z czasem priorytety opiekunów i sytuacja rodzinna się zmieniły i zabrakło czasu dla Neli oraz chęci pracy z nią. Prosto z kanapy sunia trafiła do schroniska. Mimo smutnej historii Nela nie poddaje się i cieszy się każdym spacerem. Niestety w schronisku nie jesteśmy w stanie poświęcić jej tyle uwagi, ile by potrzebowała. Nela czeka na kogoś, kto podaruje jej dom na zawsze, tak by nigdy nie musiała wracać do schroniska. Odnajdzie się zarówno u boku pary, singla, jak i większej rodziny. Sunia jest pod opieką grupy G1.

About Nela

What life with Nela looks like

Nela is a small 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.

🇵🇱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 Nela, answered.

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