• Need a calm environment: No • Can live in a city: Yes • Suitable for families with children: Yes • Gets along with other dogs: Yes, I need a playmate • Have lived with cats: Not known • I have the following special characteristics regarding temperament or breed traits: No • Health matters to note: No • I have received the following health treatments: No • Have lived in a home setting in foster care: No • Have been in a kennel for over 2 years: No • Can walk on a leash: Yes I've been in foster care here for a few days now, and I've settled in as if I'd always lived as a house dog. I've been fully house-trained, and I know how to go outside to relieve myself. I also set off on walks eagerly and can walk on a leash, though I may pull a little when I see something interesting. I get along well with the family's other dogs; I give way to the older female, who bosses me around a little. With the younger male, I've even become excited to run and wrestle. I bond with people very quickly, and I love being close to my caregiver. I may even crawl under the blanket to get as close as possible. Unfamiliar people may get a bark at first, but I'm not the least bit aggressive. I just get a little nervous about new encounters. I can also stay home alone with the family's other dogs. I enjoy being held in someone's lap and am a real cuddle bug. So if you're looking for a dog to pamper, I absolutely love that!

• Tarvitsen rauhallisen ympäristön: Ei • Voin asua kaupungissa: Kyllä • Sovin lapsiperheeseen: Kyllä • Tulen toimeen muiden koirien kanssa: Kyllä, tarvitsen leikkikaverin • Olen asunut kissojen kanssa: Ei tiedossa • Minulla on seuraavia erityispiirteitä luonteen tai rotuominaisuuksien osalta: Ei • Huomioitavia asioita terveyteni osalta ovat: Ei • Minulle on tehty seuraavia terveystoimenpiteitä: Ei • Olen asunut kotioloissa kotihoidossa: Ei • Olen ollut tarhalla yli 2 vuotta: Ei • Osaan kulkea hihnassa: Kyllä Olen nyt muutaman päivän ollut täällä kotihoidossa, ja olen kotiutunut kuin olisin aina asunut kotikoirana. Olen ollut täysin sisäsiisti ja osaan käydä pihalla tarpeillani. Lähden myös innoissani lenkille ja osaan kulkea hihnassa, joskin saatan hieman vetää nähdessäni jotain mielenkiintoista. Tulen hyvin toimeen perheen muiden koirien kanssa, väistän vanhempaa narttua joka hieman pomottelee minua. Nuoremman uroksen kanssa olen jopa innostunut juoksu ja painileikkeihin. Olen hyvin nopeasti ihmisiin kiintyvä, ja rakastankin olla hoitajani lähellä. Saatan jopa kömpiä peiton alle jotta pääsen mahdollisimman lähelle. Vieraille ihmisille saatan alkuun haukkua, mutta en ole tippaakaan vihainen. Jännitän vain hieman uusia kohtaamisia. Osaan myös jäädä kotiin perheen muiden koirien kanssa. Viihdyn sylissä ja olenkin varsinainen halinaattori. Jos siis kaipaat koiraa jota hellitellä, minä nautin siitä valtavasti.

About Aza

What life with Aza looks like

Aza is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pet Rescue Finland in Helsinki.

A young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aza, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aza?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pet Rescue Finland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aza on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aza if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pet Rescue Finland 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Aza 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 Aza 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 Pet Rescue Finland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aza 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.
