Zuma

Female · Senior · 9 years

Zuma is known as a kind, happy and sweet female dog. She is a tiny little cuddler who would most like to sit on someone's lap. She gets along with every volunteer, even new ones. A walk with her is pure pleasure. She happily runs for a walk, walks nicely on a leash, does not pull, and calmly and slowly walks ahead. She often looks back at the person and comes for pats. She does not react to other dogs. She currently lives in a crate with a dog friend and gets along well. Sometimes loud noises stress her. She takes medication for hypothyroidism. She is looking for a loving and caring caregiver forever. Come for a meeting walk with the little one Zumka. The puppy is under the care of group G1.

Zuma dała się poznać jako przemiła, radosna i słodka sunia. To taka malutka przylepa, która najchętniej siedziała by na kolankach u człowieka. Garnie się do każdego wolontariusza, nawet nowo poznanego. Spacer z nią to czysta przyjemność J Chętnie biegnie na spacerek, ładnie chodzi na smyczy, nie ciągnie, powoli i spokojnie drepcze przed siebie. Często ogląda się na człowieka i przybiega po głaski. Na inne psy nie reaguje. Mieszka teraz w boksie z psim kolegą i dobrze się dogadują. Czasem stresują ją głośniejsze dźwięki. Przyjmuje lek na niedoczynność tarczycy. Szuka kochającego i troskliwego opiekuna już na zawsze. Zapraszamy na spacerek zapoznawczy z kruszynką Zumą. Psina pod opieką grupy G1.

About Zuma

What life with Zuma looks like

Zuma is a small senior dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Takes medication for thyroid insufficiency, sensitive to loud sounds

🇵🇱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 Zuma, answered.

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