TEBA

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 8 months

A heartbreaking and unjust story unfolds at the shelter. This delicate, incredibly subtle girl was born around 2016, which means she is already about 10 years old. She came to our care in a dramatic moment - as a homeless, extremely frightened mom with her tiny puppies. Her children have long found safe, loving homes, and she... was left completely alone. Forgotten by the world, she has been stuck behind the bars of a shelter box for years. The long time spent in solitude, shelter noise, and lack of exclusive human closeness have only reinforced her paralyzing fear. The girl is strongly withdrawn, lost, and deeply distrustful. This is not a dog that will run to the bars to greet and ask for petting. She prefers to hide in the darkest corner, observe everything from a safe distance, and with her fragile body, pretend that she simply is not there... Yet, in her sad eyes, a glimmer of hope can be seen - deep down, she would very much like to trust, but monstrous fear still takes over. This older female dog desperately needs wise rescue before shelter reality completely breaks her heart. What kind of home and people are we looking for to save her? Angelic patience and no expectations: We are looking for special people - calm, understanding, and full of empathy. Those who will not expect quick results, will not put any pressure on her, and will give her as much time as this injured soul will need to feel safe. A dream home with a garden: At the moment, the female dog is completely unable to walk on a leash (open space and the city paralyze her very much). A house with a safe, well-fenced yard in a quiet area is a must for her. This will allow her to move freely without stress and pressure of immediate walks. Support of a canine resident: This is a huge chance for her to return to the world of the living! The female dog fully accepts other dogs and it is in their company that she feels most confident. The presence of another, stable and gentle quadruped in the new home would be the best therapist for her - by imitating him, she will much faster understand that a human is not a threat. In the right hands, surrounded by wise love, understanding, and calm, even the most withdrawn dog can open its heart and bloom wonderfully after years. This dog mom gave life to others, and now she silently begs for a chance at a dignified, safe retirement by the side of a human. Will you be the one to change her fate?

Historia tej bezbronnej suczki to jeden z najbardziej poruszających i niesprawiedliwych scenariuszy schroniskowej rzeczywistości. Ta filigranowa, niezwykle subtelna dziewczynka urodziła się około 2016 roku, co oznacza, że ma już około 10 lat. Trafiła pod naszą opiekę w dramatycznym momencie – jako bezdomna, skrajnie przerażona mama ze swoimi maleńkimi szczeniakami. Jej dzieci już dawno znalazły bezpieczne, kochające domy, a ona... została zupełnie sama. Zapomniana przez świat, od lat tkwi za kratami schroniskowego boksu. Przez długi czas spędzony w samotności, schroniskowy hałas i brak bliskości człowieka na wyłączność tylko utrwaliły w niej paraliżujący lęk. Dziewczynka jest mocno wycofana, zagubiona i głęboko nieufna. To nie jest piesek, który przybiegnie do krat na powitanie i poprosi o głaskanie. Ona woli się chować w najciemniejszym kącie, obserwować wszystko z bezpiecznego dystansu i całym swoim kruchym ciałkiem udawać, że jej po prostu nie ma... Mimo to, w jej smutnych oczach widać tlącą się iskierkę – w środku bardzo chciałaby zaufać, ale potworny strach wciąż bierze górę. Ta starsza sunia desperacko potrzebuje mądrego ratunku, zanim schroniskowa rzeczywistość całkowicie złamie jej serce. Jakiego domu i jakich ludzi szukamy, by ją ocalić? Anielska cierpliwość i brak oczekiwań: Szukamy wyjątkowych ludzi – spokojnych, wyrozumiałych i pełnych empatii. Takich, którzy nie będą oczekiwali szybkich efektów, nie będą wywierali na niej żadnej presji i dadzą jej tyle czasu, ile ta skrzywdzona dusza będzie potrzebować, by poczuć się bezpiecznie. Wymarzony dom z ogrodem: Na ten moment sunia całkowicie nie potrafi chodzić na smyczy (otwarta przestrzeń i miasto bardzo ją paraliżują). Dom z bezpiecznym, dobrze ogrodzonym podwórkiem w cichej okolicy to dla niej warunek konieczny. Pozwoli jej to na swobodne poruszanie się bez stresu i presji natychmiastowych spacerów. Wsparcie psiego rezydenta: To dla niej ogromna szansa na powrót do świata żywych! Sunia w pełni akceptuje inne psy i to właśnie w ich towarzystwie czuje się najpewniej. Obecność drugiego, stabilnego i łagodnego czworonoga w nowym domu byłaby dla niej najlepszym terapeutą – naśladując go, znacznie szybciej zrozumie, że człowiek nie jest zagrożeniem. W odpowiednich rękach, otoczona mądrą miłością, wyrozumiałością i spokojem, nawet najbardziej wycofany pies potrafi po latach otworzyć swoje serce i cudownie rozkwitnąć. Ta psia mama dała życie innym, a teraz sama bezgłośnie błaga o szansę na godną, bezpieczną emeryturę u boku człowieka. Czy to właśnie Ty odmienisz jej los?

About TEBA

What life with TEBA looks like

TEBA is a large 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting TEBA, answered.

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