How do I contact the shelter about Zambia?

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 Zambia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zambia 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 Zambia 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 Zambia 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 Zambia 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.

Zambia

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 3 months

Zambia is a young 3-year-old female dog weighing 20 kg. At first glance, she may look like a small old lady, but in reality, she has a lot of energy and childlike joy. 🥹❤️ Zambia came to us with signs indicating that she had spent her whole life on a chain. 💔 She is a gentle, loving girl who looks deeply into a person and wants to be close to them, although she still carries fear from what probably happened to her earlier. She is particularly afraid of a raised hand, especially when a man does it, and even just putting on a leash can cause her panic. Zambia needs a patient, calm, and gentle person who will show her that a human hand can only mean touch, safety, and love. At the same time, she is extremely curious about the world, eager to play, run, and play pranks, and can also beautifully follow a dog that is neutral towards her, so a calm dog companion can be a huge support for her. 🐾 This is a dog that despite her fears has a lot of life and a huge need to love a human - just give her time, safety, and a chance to finally believe that her life can be good. ❤️ 📍 Zambia is in the Canis Shelter for Homeless Animals in Kruszewo - about 100 km from Warsaw and Bialystok. 🦴 You can visit her every weekend from 10am to 4pm. 📞 Contact for adoption or more information: 502 750 530 Can't adopt?

Zambia to młodziutka, bo 3 letnia sunia, która waży 20 kg. Na pierwszy rzut oka może wyglądać jak mała starowinka, ale w rzeczywistości drzemie w niej ogrom energii i dziecięcej radości. 🥹❤️ Zambia trafiła do nas ze śladami wskazującymi na to, że całe życie spędziła na łańcuchu. 💔 To delikatna, kochana dziewczynka, która bardzo mocno wpatruje się w człowieka i chce być blisko niego, choć wciąż nosi w sobie lęk po tym, co prawdopodobnie spotkało ją wcześniej. Szczególnie boi się podniesionej ręki — zwłaszcza, gdy robi to mężczyzna — a nawet zwykłe przełożenie smyczy potrafi wywołać u niej panikę. Zambia potrzebuje więc człowieka cierpliwego, spokojnego i łagodnego, który pokaże jej, że ludzka ręka może oznaczać tylko dotyk, bezpieczeństwo i miłość. Jednocześnie jest niezwykle ciekawa świata, chętna do zabawy, biegania i psot, a także potrafi pięknie podążać za psem, który jest wobec niej neutralny, dlatego spokojny psi towarzysz może być dla niej ogromnym wsparciem. 🐾 To sunia, która mimo swoich lęków ma w sobie mnóstwo życia i ogromną potrzebę kochania człowieka — wystarczy dać jej czas, bezpieczeństwo i szansę, by mogła wreszcie uwierzyć, że jej życie może być dobre. ❤️ 📍 Zambia przebywa w Schronisku dla Bezdomnych Zwierząt Canis w Kruszewie – ok. 100 km od Warszawy i Białegostoku. 🦴 Można ją odwiedzić w każdy weekend w godzinach ! 📞 Kontakt w sprawie adopcji lub więcej informacji: 502 750 530 Nie możesz adoptować? Pomóż w inny sposób – dorzuć się do karmy! 🐾 💚 Przelew tradycyjny: PKO BP S.A. O/Ostrołęka 80 1020 3802 5419 SWIFT: BPKOPLPW

About Zambia

What life with Zambia looks like

Zambia 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.
