Kuura

Mixed Breed · Male

31.8.2026Kuura on ottanut hienosti askelia eteenpäin ja kiinnostus ympäristöä sekä ihmisiä kohtaan on kasvanut selvästi. Kuura on alkanut enenevissä määrin hakeutua ihmisten seuraan ja hakee itse kontaktia. Myös vieraat kiinnostavat ja Kuura on käynyt uteliaasti haistelemassa uusia ihmisiä. Valjaat saa Kuuralle hyvin päälle ja hihnan kiinnitys onnistuu myös. Hän ei kuitenkaan pidä pään yli pujotettavista valjaista, joten valjaiden tulee olla kaulalta aukeavaa mallia. Sen sijaan hihnassa kulkeminen, ja se että ja hihnaan saattaa tulla painetta on Kuuralle vielä vaikeita asioita. Harjoituksissa on jouduttu hetkellisesti ottamaan takapakkia ja nyt onkin saatu joitakin onnistumisia pihalla hihnassa rauhassa oleillen. Omatoiminen ulkoilu aidatulla pihalla on tällä hetkellä Kuuran mieleen. Siellä esiin pääsee hyvin leikkisä ja touhukas kaveri. Ukonilmat ovat olleet hieman pelottavia ja silloin Kuura hakeutuu turvaan muiden läheisyyteen. Kuuralla on käytössä nivelrikkoon librela-lääkitys, viimeisin eläinlääkärikäynti meni hienosti eikä rauhoitusta tarvittu ollenkaan. Kuuran tulevassa kodissa pitäisi ymmärtää koiran keskeneräisyys, antaa aikaa edistymiselle ja toisaalta sitoutua tekemään harjoituksia arjen taitoihin liittyen. 12.7.2026Kuura kävi hiljattain eläinlääkärin perusteellisissa tutkimuksissa. Röntgenkuvissa todettiin selässä spondyloosimuutoksia sekä toisessa polvessa nivelrikkoa ja toisessa lonkassa lonkkadysplasia ja rikkoa. Löydökset selittävät aiemmin havaittua jäykkyyttä ja liikkumisen epätasaisuutta. Kuuralle aloitettiin kipulääkitys, joka on tehonnut todella hyvin. Nykyään hän liikkuu selvästi rennommin, on iloinen ja nauttii yhä enemmän pihalla ulkoiluista.

About Kuura

What life with Kuura looks like

Kuura 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 Kuura, answered.

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