How do I contact the shelter about Dumbo?

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

Can I adopt Dumbo 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 Dumbo 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 Dumbo 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 Dumbo 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 need a calm environment: No • Can I live in the city: Yes • I can live with children: No information • I can live with other dogs: Yes • I have lived with cats: No information • I have the following special characteristics regarding temperament or breed: Nothing to mention • Notable health issues are: Nothing to mention • Medical treatments have been performed for me: Nothing done • I have lived in foster homes: No • I have been in a shelter kennel for over 2 years: No • I can walk on a leash: Yes, but I still need more practice I am shy Dumbo, who has not figured out how to properly place my ears. Although I am affectionate and playful, my background is otherwise. My life did not start in the best possible living conditions. I was taken in from Didžiasaliksnė village near Vilnius in winter 2025 from very poor living conditions. Like many littermates, I was left on the doorstep without proper shelter, care, and nutrition.

Minut huostaanotettiin talvella 2025 erittäin huonoista olosuhteista Vilnan lähettyvillä olevasta Didžiasaliksen kylästä.

About Dumbo

What life with Dumbo looks like

Dumbo 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.

🇫🇮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.
