I will tell you a little story about my life, how I am here now. I still remember that day. It was a hot July in 2024. My sister Granita and I arrived here from far away, from a small village called Noreikiai. We were only five months old puppies then. Everything was new: smells, sounds, people, gates, other dogs. My sister Granita was immediately brave. She wagged her tail and went to greet everyone. I, on the other hand, was a bit more cautious. I looked from a distance and sniffed the air. But if someone spoke to me kindly, I would dare to come closer.

Kerron teille pienen tarinan elämästäni, kuinka olen tässä ja nyt. Minä muistan vielä sen päivän. Oli helteinen heinäkuu vuonna 2024. Minä ja sisareni Granita saavuimme tänne kaukaa, pienestä kylästä nimeltä Noreikiai. Olimme silloin vasta viiden kuukauden ikäisiä pentuja. Kaikki oli uutta: hajut, äänet, ihmiset, portit, muut koirat. Sisareni Granita oli heti rohkea.Hän heilutti häntää ja meni tervehtimään kaikkia. Minä puolestaan olin vähän varovaisempi.Katsoin ensin kauempaa ja nuuhkin ilmaa. Mutta jos joku puhui minulle lempeästi, uskalsin kyllä tulla lähemmäs.

About Bakardis

What life with Bakardis looks like

Bakardis is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pet Rescue Finland in Helsinki.

An 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 Bakardis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bakardis?
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 Bakardis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bakardis 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bakardis 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 Bakardis 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 Bakardis 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.
