How do I contact the shelter about ONKA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Puszatek handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ONKA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ONKA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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 ONKA 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 ONKA 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 Fundacja Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know ONKA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

ONKA

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

This tiny, delicate girl is asking for a chance! If you’re looking for a wonderful, young companion with the perfect, manageable size who, after an adjustment period, will become your most loyal shadow—meet Onka! This lovely little lady was born in 2022, meaning she’s currently about 4 years old. Onka is at her absolute prime—combining youthful energy with life wisdom. She weighs just 12 kg, making her the ideal, petite medium-sized dog who’ll fit effortlessly into any apartment or house with a garden. This sensitive lady is eagerly searching for a loving, understanding family! Onka is a dog with an exceptionally gentle and delicate nature. Since she recently arrived at our shelter and everything is still new and unfamiliar to her, she can initially be a bit reserved and withdrawn. But that’s completely understandable—shelter hustle, noise, and a multitude of new stimuli can overwhelm even the most sensitive dog, especially when she’s new to the shelter environment. Onka has absolutely no aggression in her; she simply needs a little patience and calm. Just crouch down, give her time to sniff your hand, and speak to her in a warm, soothing voice, and this sweet girl will slowly open up, seeking comfort and support in humans. Our dedicated volunteers are doing their very best to care for her, but a shelter kennel isn’t the right place to build confidence. Onka urgently needs a stable home environment to fully spread her wings. Why is this unique and subtle Onka the perfect companion for you? She’s bravely learning to walk on a leash: The girl is making steady progress and is already learning to walk nicely on a leash. Calm, understanding walks allow her to rediscover the world by your side without unnecessary stress. A wonderful attitude toward other dogs: Onka wonderfully accepts other dogs! She’s extremely friendly and conflict-free in her interactions with four-legged companions. Having another stable, resident dog in her new home would be a great source of support and guidance for her, helping her overcome initial reservations more quickly. The perfect size for apartment living: Thanks to her impeccable size (12 kg) and very calm, unobtrusive temperament, this girl would be an ideal candidate for city life. We’re looking for a home full of empathy, warmth, and patience for Onka—a home that will introduce her to the rhythm of everyday life without any pressure or rush. Give her a safe haven, and this wonderful lady will repay you with love and loyalty for the rest of her life!

Młodziutka, delikatna dziewczyna prosi o szansę! Jeśli szukasz wspaniałego, młodego przyjaciela o idealnych, poręcznych gabarytach, który po okresie adaptacji stanie się Twoim najwierniejszym cieniem – poznaj Onkę! Ta śliczna sunia urodziła się w 2022 roku, co oznacza, że ma obecnie około 4 lat. Onka jest w swoim absolutnie najlepszym wieku – łączy młodzieńczą energię z życiową mądrością. Waży zaledwie 12 kg, dzięki czemu jest idealnym, niewielkim psem średniej wielkości, który bez najmniejszego problemu odnajdzie się w każdym mieszkaniu czy domu z ogrodem. Ta wrażliwa panna pilnie rozgląda się za kochającą, wyrozumiałą rodziną! Onka to sunia o skrajnie łagodnej i delikatnej naturze. Ponieważ trafiła do nas niedawno i wszystko jest dla niej jeszcze obce i nieznane, początkowo bywa trochę nieufna i wycofana. To jednak całkowicie zrozumiałe – schroniskowy zgiełk, hałas i masa nowych bodźców potrafią onieśmielić każdego wrażliwego psa, zwłaszcza gdy jest nowa w schronisku. Onka nie ma w sobie ani grama agresji, potrzebuje po prostu chwili cierpliwości i spokoju. Wystarczy kucnąć, dać jej czas na powąchanie ręki i przemówić ciepłym tonem, a sunia powoli się otwiera, szukając w człowieku oparcia. Nasi oddani wolontariusze dbają o nią z całych sił, jednak boks schroniskowy to nie miejsce na budowanie pewności siebie. Onka pilnie potrzebuje domowej stabilizacji, by w pełni rozwinąć skrzydła. Dlaczego wyjątkowa i subtelna Onka to przyjaciółka doskonała dla Ciebie? Dzielnie uczy się chodzić na smyczy: Dziewczynka robi regularne postępy i bardzo ładnie uczy się już chodzić na smyczy. Spokojne, pełne wyrozumiałości spacery pozwalają jej na nowo odkrywać świat u boku opiekuna bez zbędnego stresu. Cudowny stosunek do pobratymców: Onka wspaniale akceptuje inne psy! W relacjach z czworonożnymi kolegami jest bardzo ugodowa i bezkonfliktowa. Obecność drugiego, stabilnego psa rezydenta w nowym domu byłaby dla niej świetnym wsparciem i drogowskazem w szybszym pokonywaniu początkowej nieufności. Idealny rozmiar do bloku: Dzięki swoim nienagannym gabarytom (12 kg) i bardzo spokojnemu, nienarzucającemu się usposobieniu, chłopak będzie idealnym kandydatem do życia w mieście. Szukamy dla Onki domu pełnego empatii, ciepła i cierpliwości, który bez żadnej presji czy pośpiechu wprowadzi ją w rytm domowej codzienności. Podaruj jej bezpieczną przystań, a ta wspaniała sunia odwdzięczy się miłością i lojalnością na całe życie!

About ONKA

What life with ONKA looks like

ONKA is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱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.
