How do I contact the shelter about Angie?

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

Can I adopt Angie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Embla Rescue 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 Angie 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 Angie 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 Embla Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Angie 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.

Adopt Angie

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Most of the municipal shelters in Romania are harsh places. There are too many dogs in small cages, a lot of stress, and often too little resources such as food. Therefore, dogs often fight. Additionally, many of the staff members at these shelters treat the dogs harshly or even violently. Therefore, when kind-hearted people visit the municipal shelters, it's no surprise that many want to save even a few dogs from there. This happened several years ago when a foreign person rescued one dog from a very bad municipal shelter. Angie was taken to a private shelter kennel, but the shelter staff had no knowledge of how to help a traumatized dog. Therefore, Angie remained in his cage. In 2015, Claudia, who maintains Eli for Animals, noticed while visiting the shelter kennel that a dog was trembling in the kennel. She could not leave the dog living like that, and so Angie along with another dog rescued from a municipal shelter were taken to Claudia's shelter kennel to recover. At first, Angie was extremely shy and would run away from people. For the first half year, he was completely withdrawn and would tremble whenever someone looked at him. However, time, a safe environment, and Claudia's kindness did their work, and now Angie is clearly more relaxed. He enjoys the shelter kennel, knows the routines, and likes to play with the other dogs in the yard. He spends the days in a large group and gets along well with all the dogs. Although human touch is still very stressful for Angie, he is very food motivated. With treats, it is easy to build trust, and after a little curiosity, he dares to eat from the hands of strangers. In a calm situation, he stays curious and moves close to visitors. Due to his past, Angie is looking for a home or foster home where shy dogs are understood and where they are given the peace and time they need.

Romaniassa toimivista kunnallisista tarhoista suurin osa on karmeita paikkoja. Koiria on aivan liikaa pienissä häkeissä, stressiä on valtavasti ja monesti resursseja kuten ruokaa aivan liian vähän. Niinpä koirat tappelevat usein. Lisäksi moni tarhoilla työskentelevä rankkuri käsittelee koiria kovakouraisesti tai jopa väkivaltaisesti. Niinpä kun kunnallisilla tarhoilla vierailee hyväsydämisiä ihmisiä, ei ole ihme, että moni haluaa pelastaa sieltä edes muutaman koiran. Näin kävi useita vuosia sitten, kun Angien pelasti todella huonomaineiselta kunnalliselta tarhalta eräs ulkomaalainen henkilö. Angie päätyi yksityiselle tarhalle, mutta tarhan työntekijöillä ei ollut minkäänlaista osaamista auttaa traumatisoitunutta koiraa. Niinpä Angie jäi elämään häkkinsä perälle. Vuonna 2015 Eli for Animalsia ylläpitävä Claudia sattui tarhalla vieraillessaan huomaamaan häkissä tärisevän koiran. Hän ei millään voinut jättää koiraa elämään niin ja niinpä Angie yhdessä toisen aran kunnalliselta pelastetun koiran kanssa pääsi Claudian tarhalle toipumaan. Alkuun Angie oli äärimmäisen arka ja säntäili karkuun ihmisiä. Ensimmäiset puoli vuotta hän oli täysin sulkeutunut ja tärisi aina, kun joku katsoikin häntä kohti. Aika, turvallinen ympäristö ja Claudian lempeys kuitenkin tekivät tehtävänsä ja nykyään Angie on jo selvästi rennompi. Hän viihtyy tarhalla, tuntee rutiinit ja leikkii mielellään tarhan muiden koirien kanssa. Hän ulkoilee päivät isossa porukassa ja tulee hienosti toimeen kaikkien koirien kanssa. Vaikka ihmisen kosketus on vielä Angiestä todella jännittävää, hän on hyvin perso ruoalle. Herkkujen avulla hänen kanssaan onkin helppo tehdä tuttavuutta ja jo hetken ihmettelyn jälkeen hän uskaltautuu syömään nameja myös vieraiden ihmisten käsistä. Rauhallisessa tilanteessa hän jää uteliaasti pyörimään vieraiden lähelle. Menneisyydestään johtuen Angie etsii itselleen kotia tai kotihoitopaikkaa, jossa ymmärretään arkoja koiria ja heidän tarvitsemaa rauhaa ja aikaa.

About Angie

What life with Angie looks like

Angie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Embla Rescue 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

Finnish shelters require a home visit and an adoption contract. Animals are vetted; the EU pet passport covers cross-border travel within the bloc.
