How do I contact the shelter about Dojano?

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

Can I adopt Dojano 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 Dojano 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 Dojano 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 Dojano 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.

Care for Dogs shelter kennel is located in the middle of the mountains. In Romania, there are still strong shepherding traditions in the countryside, especially in the mountains, and many sheepdogs that guard flocks live in these areas. Unfortunately, most of these dogs are seen as working tools, and their treatment is often poor. In February 2021, Delia, who maintains the Care for Dogs farm, received a report about a shepherd who kept his dog tied to a chain in the yard. The dogs were in poor condition and clearly not cared for at all. Therefore, Delia took the dogs to safety at her farm. One of the dogs rescued from the shepherd is a beautiful Dojano. Since arriving at the shelter kennel, he has been very shy around people, which is not surprising, as his previous experiences with people before the farm were probably not good. Therefore, he has been frozen in the shelter kennel waiting for someone who would see the gentle personality hidden behind his initial shyness. Dojano is happy and affectionate, but has a shy personality. He gets nervous around strangers and always keeps a small distance from them, but he is more relaxed with familiar people. Familiar people can handle Dojano and, gradually, he has even gone on walks with them a few times. Although initially, the leash and walking were stressful for him, Dojano has quickly gotten used to new things, and now he dares to go for runs and get excited about running. Dojano has lived in the shelter kennel in several different arrangements, and at this time, he shares his crate with a very strong-willed dog. It seems that he will get along nicely with different dogs and knows how to skillfully avoid conflicts. In his crate, Dojano loves to play with his dog friends, and when he feels comfortable, he is really playful and happy. Due to his shyness, he needs a home or foster home where there is prior experience with shy dogs. Due to his likely herding background, Dojano is looking for a house.

Care for Dogsin tarha sijaitsee vuorien keskellä. Romaniassa maaseuduilla ja varsinkin vuorilla elää vielä vahva paimenkulttuuri ja näillä alueilla elää paljon lampaita ja lehmiä paimentavia laumanvartijakoiria. Valitettavasti useimmat näistä koirista nähdään työvälineinä ja koirien kohtelu on usein huonoa. Helmikuussa 2021 Care for Dogsin tarhaa ylläpitävä Delia sai ilmoituksen eräästä paimenesta, joka piti koiriaan pihalla ketjun päässä. Koirat olivat huonokuntoisia eikä heistä selvästi pidetty lainkaan huolta. Niinpä Delia otti koirat turvaan tarhalleen. Yksi näistä paimenelta pelastuneista koirista on kaunis Dojano. Hän on tarhalle saapumisestaan lähtien ollut hyvin ujo ihmisiä kohtaan, eikä ihme, sillä hänen aiemmat kokemuksensa ihmisistä ennen tarhaa tuskin olivat hyviä. Niinpä hän on jämähtänyt tarhalle odottamaan ihmistä, joka näkisi ujon ensivaikutelman alla piilevän herttaisen persoonan. Dojano on iloinen ja lempeä, mutta ujo persoona. Hän jännittää vieraita ihmisiä ja pitää heihin aina pientä välimatkaa, mutta tuttujen kanssa hän on rennompi. Tutut ihmiset saavat käsitellä Dojanoa ja hiljattain hän on päässyt muutamaan kertaan myös hihnalenkeille heidän kanssaan. Vaikka alkuun valjaat ja hihnassa kulkeminen jännittivät häntä, on Dojano tottunut uusiin asioihin nopeasti ja nykyään hän uskaltaa jo lenkeillä innostua juoksentelemaan. Dojano on asunut tarhalla useassa eri kokoonpanossa ja tälläkin hetkellä hän jakaa häkkinsä hyvin vahvaluontoisen koiran kanssa. Hän tuntuukin tulevan hienosti erilaisten koirien kanssa toimeen ja osaa hienosti välttää konflikteja. Häkissään Dojano rakastaa leikkiä koirakavereiden kanssa ja tuntiessaan olonsa rennoksi hän onkin vallan leikkisä ja iloinen. Arkuudestaan johtuen hän tarvitsee kodin tai kotihoitopaikan, jossa on entuudestaan kokemusta aroista koirista. Todennäköisestä laumanvartijaperimästään johtuen Dojano etsii kotia omakotitalosta.
