How do I contact the shelter about Kaitra?

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

Can I adopt Kaitra 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 Kaitra 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 Kaitra 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 Kaitra 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 am nervous around strangers, cross the road with birds, and am escape-prone • Health concern to note: Yes, I have a bladder infection that requires an X-ray • No health interventions have been done for me: No • I have lived in foster homes: Yes • I have spent over 2 years in a shelter kennel: No • I can walk on a leash: Yes, but I pull on the leash I am looking for a new home independently of any reason. I hope to find my own person or family who appreciates my affectionate nature, to do things together, and that I can be with them at night. I am about 16 pounds, a good-natured dog whose tail wags enthusiastically. I love hugs, being followed by people, and everything to do. I am very motivated to learn new things, and especially affectionate things make me want to cuddle. I can already sit, go to the ground, spin, and come when called. Training and various tasks are, in my opinion, especially fun.

Ja arvatkaapa mitä? Olen pärjännyt siellä tosi hienosti! Ympärilläni on ollut paljon ihmisiä, mutta rauhallisessa kaupunkiympäristössä olen ottanut kaiken yllättävänkin rennosti. Vastaantulevat koirat eivät ole saaneet minua reagoimaan, ja kotona käyvät vieraatkin ovat saaneet olla rauhassa. Olen ollut siellä suorastaan kuin kala vedessä – tai pitäisikö sanoa ennemminkin kuin koira omalla polullaan.

About Kaitra

What life with Kaitra looks like

Kaitra 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.
