Junnu

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Junior Junnu is a young Toy Villacota boy looking for a new home. Inquiries are currently only accepted via email. Please provide detailed information about your dog experience and what kind of home you could offer to Junnu. Junior Junnu is a bit shy around new people and things, but his youthful curiosity eventually wins out and the newcomer gets into the arms of this little perpetual motion machine with a few treats. Junnu quickly bonds with his human, already has some separation anxiety which is being worked on in foster care. When left alone, Junnu barks shrilly after the person, may bark for a long time even when there are foster dogs around, so he needs plenty of practice to be alone. Sometimes there are days when being alone doesn't cause problems, he watches calmly from his pedestal as the human leaves, sometimes then the noise is quite loud when left alone. For this reason, living in an apartment building will not be an option for Junnu. He gets along well with other dogs, so it would be good to have a social, playful, same-sized female companion in the future home from whom Junnu could also take examples of different situations. Outdoor activities are best when he can gallop freely in a fenced yard, hippo games with a friend are the top priority. Junnu has plenty of energy, this small-sized sprinter zips around the yard at quite a pace with a toy. He walks nicely and briskly forward on a leash, but may be startled by some things but quickly overcomes situations. Traveling in the car can cause a bit of nausea, but calm habituation to traveling in the car can help overcome nausea. A home is being sought for Junnu from a detached house and the future home must commit to ensuring that the dog receives sufficient exercise, training and stimulation. Junnu is in foster care in the Uusimaa region and you can get acquainted with him by appointment. Junnu weighs about 3 kg.

Nuori Junnu etsii koirakaverillista kotia Junnusta otetaan kyselyjä vastaan tällä hetkellä AINOASTAAN sähköpostitse. Kerrothan kattavasti koirakokemuksestasi ja millainen koti sinulla olisi Junnulle tarjota. Nuori toyvillakoira poika Junnu etsii uutta kotiaan. Junnu on hieman arahko uusia ihmisiä ja asioita kohtaan mutta nuoruuden uteliaisuus voittaa lopulta ja tulija saa parin namun avulla syliinsä tämän pienen ikiliikkujan. Junnu kiintyy ihmiseensä nopeasti, omaa jo hieman eroahdistusta josta sijaiskodissa harjoitellaan pääsemään eroon. Yksin jäädessään Junnu haukkuu kimeällä äänellä ihmisen perään, saattaa haukkua pitkäänkin vaikka seurana on sijaiskodin omat koirat, joten tarvitsee runsaasti harjoittelua yksinoloon. Välillä on päiviä jolloin yksin jääminen ei aiheuta ongelmia, on katsellut pediltään rauhassa ihmisen lähtiessä, välillä sitten meteli on melkoinen kun jää yksin. Tästä syystä kerrostalo asumismuotona ei tule Junnun kanssa olemaan vaihtoehto. Tulee hyvin toimeen toisten koirien kanssa, tulevassa kodissa olisikin hyvä olla koirakaverina sosiaalinen, leikkisä, samaa kokoluokkaa oleva narttu jolta Junnu voisi ottaa myös esimerkkiä erilaisiin tilanteisiin. Ulkoilu on parasta kun saa aidatulla pihalla rallattaa mielin määrin, hippaleikit kaverin kanssa on ykkösjuttu. Vauhtia Junnulta löytyy, pienikokoinen kiituri viilettää pihalla lelun kanssa melkoista vauhtia. Hihnassa kävelee nätisti ja reippaasti eteenpäin, joitakin asioita voi säikkyä mutta pääsee tilanteista nopeasti yli. Automatkustaminen saattaa aiheuttaa pientä pahoinvointia, rauhallinen totuttelu automatkustamiseen voi auttaa pahoinvoinnista eroon pääsemiseen. Junnulle haetaan kotia omakotitalosta ja tulevan kodin tulee sitoutua huolehtimaan koiran riittävästä liikunnan, koulutuksen ja aktivoinnin määrästä. Junnu on sijaiskodissa Uudenmaan alueella ja poikaan pääsee sovitusti tutustumaan. Painoa Junnulla on n. 3kg.

About Junnu

What life with Junnu looks like

Junnu is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Rekku Rescue ry in Helsinki.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇮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 Junnu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Junnu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rekku Rescue ry handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Junnu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Junnu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rekku Rescue ry 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 Junnu 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 Junnu 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 Rekku Rescue ry early rather than rehoming privately; they know Junnu 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.
