How do I contact the shelter about Jugo?

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

Can I adopt Jugo 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 Jugo 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 Jugo 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 Jugo 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.

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

• I need a calm environment: Yes • I can live in the city: Yes, but not in a busy area • I can be placed with a family: Not sure • I can live with other dogs: Yes • I have lived with cats: Not sure • I have the following special characteristics regarding temperament or breed: I am a terrier and my owner would be good to be a dog-experienced person • Concerning my health, notable things are: None • Medical treatments have been done for me: None • 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: Still practicing • (Other:)- My home is surprisingly well-known even among PRF's volunteers. An elderly woman lives in the countryside in a rustic house in the middle of a field, surrounded by many dogs. The house is often visited by guests, and sometimes her grandmother agrees to take some dogs away, but often the attempts are fruitless and the supply of dogs for the kennels runs out. Her grandmother might also give up on dog walking instead of taking them to the shelter kennel. The dogs are timid and only trust her grandmother, so settling them is difficult without the owner's help. This time, however, her grandmother apparently understood that the dogs were too much and gave up 16 of them to the shelter kennel, 11 of which were puppies. I was one of the lucky ones and made it to Mazas Draugs' shelter kennel. My friends are also here, and together we are ready now to find our own home. I have a limp and it would be good if at home there was a friend waiting for me to be there for me when I need support with challenging things.

• Tarvitsen rauhallisen ympäristön: Kyllä • Voin asua kaupungissa: Kyllä, mutta ei ruuhkaiseen keskustaan • Sovin lapsiperheeseen: Ei tiedossa • Tulen toimeen muiden koirien kanssa: Kyllä • Olen asunut kissojen kanssa: Ei tiedossa • Minulla on seuraavia erityispiirteitä luonteen tai rotuominaisuuksien osalta: Olen ujo ja omistajani olisi hyvä olla koirakokenut • Huomioitavia asioita terveyteni osalta ovat: Ei • Minulle on tehty seuraavia terveystoimenpiteitä: Ei • Olen asunut kotioloissa kotihoidossa: Ei • Olen ollut tarhalla yli 2 vuotta: Ei • Osaan kulkea hihnassa: Harjoittelen vielä • (Muuta:)- Kotini on surullisen kuuluisa jo PRF:n vapaaehtoistenkin keskuudessa. Vanha nainen asuu maaseudulla ränsistyneessä talossa lian ja kaaoksen keskellä lukuisten koirien kanssa. Aina silloin tällöin talolla vieraillaan ja joskus mummo suostuu antamaan koiria pois, mutta usein yritykset ovat tuloksettomia ja avuntarjoukset kaikuvat kuuroille korville. Mummo saattaa myös hukuttaa koiranpentuja sen sijaan, että luovuttaisi ne tarhalle. Koirat ovat villiintyneitä ja tottelevat vain mummoa, joten kiinniottaminen on hankalaa ilman omistajan apua. Tällä kertaa mummo kuitenkin ehkä itsekin ymmärsi koiria olevan liikaa ja luovutti 16 niistä tarhalle, joista 11 oli pentuja. Minä olin yksi onnekkaista ja pääsin turvaan Mazas Draugasin tarhalle. Ystäväni ovat myös täällä, ja yhdessä olemme valmiit nyt etsimään omia kotejamme. Jaan häkkini reippaan nartun kanssa ja olisikin hyvä, jos kotona olisi minulle kaveri odottamassa, että saisin tarvittaessa otettua tukea minua jännittävien asioiden kohtaamiseen.

About Jugo

What life with Jugo looks like

Jugo is a medium-sized 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.
