How do I contact the shelter about Batman?

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 Batman on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Batman 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 Batman 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 Batman 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 Batman 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 Batman

Mixed Breed · Unknown

A large number of dogs live on the streets in Romania. Although some individuals learn to cope with dangers such as traffic and lack of food, streets are never a good option for dogs. There are many people living in Romania who do not care about homeless dogs. Many of them abuse dogs or call the authorities immediately upon seeing even a glimpse of a dog. This happened to Batman when he still lived on the streets. The authorities came to catch him in a notorious municipal shelter kennel, where the survival rate is extremely poor. A woman living in the area found out about Batman's fate. Therefore, she asked her friend Carmen so that she could take Batman to her shelter. Carmen agreed, and thus Batman was taken by the woman to Carmen's shelter kennel. Batman is calm and balanced at the shelter kennel. Like many dogs that have lived on the streets, he seems very wise and attentive. He has learned to avoid people and therefore does not come within touching distance even of familiar people. Otherwise, he calmly follows the person's movements and especially enjoys treats, which he accepts gladly. Batman hardly barks at all at the shelter kennel and is otherwise very gentle. He has gotten along well with quiet kennel mates and would certainly enjoy a peaceful retirement home in Finland. Batman's left front leg is slightly crooked due to an old injury. The leg position can no longer be corrected, and in Finland it will be necessary to focus on supportive treatment and make sure that he has appropriate pain medication for his leg if needed.

Romanian kaduilla elää valtava määrä koiria. Vaikka jotkut yksilöt oppivat elämään vaarojen, kuten liikenteen ja ruoan vähyyden kanssa, eivät kadut silti koskaan ole koirille hyvä vaihtoehto. Romaniassa elää paljon ihmisiä, jotka eivät välitä kodittomista koirista. Monet kohdistavat koiriin väkivaltaa tai soittavat paikalle rankkurit heti, kun näkevät vilauksenkin koirasta. Näin kävi Batmanille, kun hän vielä asui kadulla. Rankkurit kävivät pyydystämässä hänet pahamaineiselle kunnalliselle tarhalle, josta selviytymisprosentti on äärimmäisen huono. Eräs alueella asuva nainen sai tietää Batmanin kohtalosta. Niinpä hän pyysi ystäväänsä Carmenia, jotta tämä voisi ottaa Batmanin tarhalleen turvaan. Carmen suostui, ja niin Batman pääsi naisen kyydillä muuttamaan Carpen tarhalle.Batman on tarhalla rauhallinen ja tasapainoinen. Kuten monet kaduilla eläneet koirat, myös hän vaikuttaa hyvin viisaalta ja tarkkaavaiselta. Hän on oppinut väistämään ihmistä, eikä siksi tule kosketusetäisyydelle edes tuttujen kanssa. Muuten hän seurailee rauhallisesti ihmisen touhuja ja erityisesti herkut hän ottaa vastaan mielellään. Batman ei tarhalla hauku juuri lainkaan ja on muutenkin kovin eleetön. Hän on tullut hyvin toimeen rauhallisten häkkikavereiden kanssa ja nauttisikin varmasti rauhallisesta eläkekodista myös Suomessa.Batmanin vasen etujalka on vanhasta vammasta johtuen hieman kiero. Jalan asentoa ei enää voi korjata, vaan Suomessa tulee keskittyä tukihoitoihin ja huolehtimaan, että hänellä on tarvittaessa sopiva kipulääkitys jalkaa varten.

About Batman

What life with Batman looks like

Batman 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.
