Adopt Aletheia ja Afrodite

Chihuahua · Female

Daring chihuahua sisters Aletheia ja Afrodite are looking for a shared home. They are an inseparable pair and get along beautifully together - for example, toys and walks are shared nicely. Aletheia ja Afrodite are very open and social in nature, and love people above all. In HESY, the daily life with the pair has been very even-tempered. Treatment procedures have gone smoothly for both, although neither of them has a favorite toy. In the yard, the girls have walked correctly nicely with other dogs or passersby without reacting. Both Afrodite and Aletheia were initially indoor dogs in HESY, but some damage has also occurred inside, if they haven't been able to get outside in an emergency. These gentle little sisters would probably fit almost any home - even an apartment, a family with children, or a home with other dogs.

Valloittavat chihutytöt Aletheia ja Afrodite etsivät yhteistä kotia. Neidit ovat erottamaton kaksikko ja tulevat hienosti toimeen keskenään – mm. lelut ja pedit jaetaan nätisti. Aletheia ja Afrodite ovat hyvin avoimia ja seurallisia luonteeltaan, ja rakastavat ihmisiä yli kaiken. HESYllä arki on ollut kaksikon kanssa hyvin tasaista. Hoitotoimenpiteet ovat molempien kanssa sujuneet ongelmitta, vaikkakaan kynsien leikkuu ei kuulu kummankaan lempipuuhiin. Hihnassa tytöt ovat kävelleet oikein nätisti muihin koiriin tai ohikulkijoihin reagoimatta. Sekä Afrodite että Aletheia ovat HESYllä olleet lähtökohtaisesti sisäsiistejä, mutta muutamia vahinkoja on sisällekin sattunut, jos juuri hädän yllättäen ei ole päässyt pihalle. Nämä lempeät pikkuneidit sopisivat luultavasti lähes minkälaiseen kotiin tahansa – myös kerrostaloon, lapsiperheeseen tai kotiin, jossa on jo muita koiria.

About Aletheia ja Afrodite

What life with Aletheia ja Afrodite looks like

Aletheia ja Afrodite is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at HESY in Helsinki.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇮Adopting from Finland

Frequently asked

Adopting Aletheia ja Afrodite, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aletheia ja Afrodite?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. HESY handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aletheia ja Afrodite on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aletheia ja Afrodite if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — HESY 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 Aletheia ja Afrodite 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 Aletheia ja Afrodite 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 HESY early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aletheia ja Afrodite 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 (FI). 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.
