Elvis

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Sting, Elvis and Ludovic are the three remaining brothers from the litter. They are not really shy, but more of the curious type. This is understandable, as they have spent their entire lives in the kennel run and have little experience with anything else. Despite their shyness, they become very excited when the kennel run is visited by strangers. The whole trio seems very playful and friendly. They are very interested in people and, especially with treats, they end up happily circling right up close. Sometimes they go sniffing and eating the offered treats and then retreat a bit further wagging their tails. Although actual touching is stressful for them, they have always reacted to handling and care procedures calmly.

FI·Show original

Sting, Elvis ja Ludovic ovat pentueen kolme jäljellä olevaa veljestä. He eivät varsinaisesti ole arkoja, vaan enemmänkin ujoja. Tämä on ymmärrettävää, sillä elettyään koko elämänsä häkissä heillä ei juuri ole kokemuksia mistään. Ujoudestaan huolimatta he innostuvat kuitenkin suuresti, kun häkkiin astuu vieraita. Koko kolmikko vaikuttaa kovin leikkisältä ja hyväntuuliselta. Ihmiset kiinnostavat heitä kovasti ja varsinkin herkkujen avulla he jäävät uteliaasti pyörimään aivan lähelle. Aina välillä he käyvät nuuhkuttelemassa ja syömässä tarjottuja herkkuja ja peruuttavat sitten vähän kauemmas hännät heiluen. Vaikka varsinainen koskeminen on heistä jännittävää, ovat he aina suhtautuneet käsittelyyn ja hoitotoimenpiteisiin rauhallisesti.

About Elvis

What life with Elvis looks like

Elvis is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Elvis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elvis?
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 Elvis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elvis 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 Elvis 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 Elvis 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 Elvis 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.
