How do I contact the shelter about Buckis?

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

Can I adopt Buckis 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 Buckis 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 Buckis 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 Buckis 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.

I lived on a farm with an old lady along with 10 other dogs. We are probably siblings and I may even be the father of some puppies. We lived a free-roaming life, without care and supervision, until the neighbors got tired of us and reported us to the authorities. Our owner was elderly and did not want or could not properly take care of us. We were allowed to run around in the nearby town causing dangerous situations both for ourselves and others. Our owner agreed to give 8 dogs to the shelter kennel and so I came here to Mazas Draugasi with my small pack.

• Tarvitsen rauhallisen ympäristön: Ei • Voin asua kaupungissa: Kyllä • Sovin lapsiperheeseen: Ei tiedossa • Tulen toimeen muiden koirien kanssa: Kyllä ja ei, tulen toimeen häkkitoverini kanssa joka on naaras, mutta en pidä uusista koirista, tarvitsen hieman aikaa lämmetäkseni • Olen asunut kissojen kanssa: Ei tiedossa • Minulla on seuraavia erityispiirteitä luonteen tai rotuominaisuuksien osalta: Olen iloinen ja aktiivinen koira, olen aina hyvällä tuulella ja janoan ihmisen huomiota • Huomioitavia asioita terveyteni osalta ovat: Ei • Minulle on tehty seuraavia terveystoimenpiteitä: Hammashoito • Olen asunut kotioloissa kotihoidossa: Ei • Olen ollut tarhalla yli 2 vuotta: Ei • Osaan kulkea hihnassa: Kyllä Olen terrierin ja corgin sekoitusta muistuttava puksuttaja nimeltäni Buckis. Asuin maaseudulla vanhan rouvan luona 10 muun koiran kanssa. Olemme todennäköisesti sisaruksia ja saatan olla jopa isä osalle pennuista. Elimme vapaankasvatuksen elämää, ilman huolenpitoa ja hoivaa, kunnes naapurit kyllästyivät ja valittivat meistä viranomaisille. Omistajamme oli iäkäs eikä halunnut tai kyenyt huolehtimaan meistä asianmukaisesti. Saatoimme juoksennella läheisessä kaupungissa vapaana aiheuttaen vaaratilanteita sekä itsellemme että muille. Omistajamme suostui antamaan 8 koirista tarhalle ja niinpä siirryin tänne Mazas Draugasiin pienen laumani kanssa.

About Buckis

What life with Buckis looks like

Buckis is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pet Rescue Finland 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.

Note from the shelter: Needs time to warm up to new dogs, has lived with minimal care and may need adjustment period

🇫🇮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.
