Nubia

Female · Adult · 6 years

Nubia is a beautiful, sweet, and cheerful dog. But she hasn't had much happiness in her life so far. She lived on an abandoned lot with other dogs, had puppies. Now this phase of homelessness has ended—but a new, shelter life has begun. Fortunately, Nubia is a female contact dog and she loves people very much! On the second day of knowing us, she would climb onto our laps. Nubia loves walks, during which she bravely explores the terrain. She has learned to walk nicely on a leash (though she does sometimes pull in moments of emotion). This isn't the only progress she's made in the last few months! It turned out that she is very talented in the direction of nose-work activities! Recently, she also participated in her first Adopt a Warsaw Dog action and was a real medal-winning dog. She had no problem jumping into the car, and during the ride, she was well-behaved, looking out the window with interest. At the drop-off location, she greeted people, even strangers, and eagerly explored the new territory. Nubia isn't a fan of other dogs, but on walks, she can ignore them if she has wise human support. We would rather see her as a singleton in a home. Nubia is looking for a caregiver who isn't her first dog in life. She learns quickly and willingly, but her new person must have some knowledge about dogs (including bully breeds), their behaviors, and needs. Nubia will not find a home with children. We also invite you to our group's social media pages, where you can find updates on the lives of our shelter animals, adoption information, greetings from the homes, educational posts, and much more!

Nubia jest śliczna, miła i wesoła. Ale szczęścia w życiu dotąd nie miała z pewnością. Mieszkała z innymi psami na opuszczonym placu, rodziła dzieci. Teraz ten etap bezdomności skończył się - ale zaczął kolejny, inny, schroniskowy. Na szczęście Nubia jest suczką kontaktową i bardzo lubi człowieka! Już drugiego dnia znajomości wdrapywała się nam na kolana. Nubia uwielbia spacery, podczas których dzielnie eksploruje teren. Nauczyła się ładnie chodzić na smyczy (choć zdarza jej się czasem pociągnąć w emocjach). To nie jedyne postępy, jakie poczyniła w ostatnich miesiącach! Okazało się, że jest bardzo uzdolniona w kierunku zajęć typu nose-work! Niedawno brała też udział w swojej pierwszej akcji Adoptuj Warszawiaka i była naprawdę psem na medal. Bez problemu wskoczyła do samochodu, a podczas jazdy była grzeczna, z zaciekawieniem wyglądając przez okno. Na miejscu witała się z ludźmi, nawet obcymi i z chęcią zwiedzała nowe terytorium. Nubia za innymi psami raczej nie przepada, ale na spacerze potrafi je ignorować, jeśli tylko ma mądre wsparcie od człowieka. Docelowo raczej widzimy ją jako zwierzęcą jedynaczkę w domu. Nubia szuka opiekuna, dla którego nie będzie pierwszym w życiu psem. Szybko i chętnie się uczy, ale jej nowy człowiek musi jednak mieć już pewną wiedzę o psach (w tym w typie bulla), ich zachowaniach i potrzebach. Nubia nie odnajdzie się w domu z dziećmi.

About Nubia

What life with Nubia looks like

Nubia is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Nubia, answered.

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