Lantus

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Carpen shelter kennel is located on a quiet countryside. The location is ideal for the dogs living in the shelter kennel, but being in a remote location has its challenges. There are very few other animal shelters in the nearby area, and therefore there are many homeless animals in this area. The word shelter kennel has spread, and unfortunately, people often abandon their animals near the farm. In spring 2023, the person maintaining the farm, Carmen, found a mother with her very small puppies from a nearby village. The mother was very friendly and people-oriented, so it was very likely that the family had been abandoned unwantedly in the village. The active mother soon found a home through another organization, and one of the puppies also got to Finland through them, but Lemon and Lantus are so shy that they ended up in the Emblan program. Lemon and Lantus are typical young dogs raised in the shelter kennel. They are very excited about human visitors and constantly wag their tails around during the entire visit. Treats offered from the hand taste good, but the situation is still so new and stressful that they do not dare to come close. People interest them a lot, and whenever an appropriate opportunity arises, each of the siblings carefully sniffs the visitors' feet and fingers. Lantus playfully moves around the person. If the situation becomes strange to him, he easily starts barking, which is something to consider when thinking about the home environment. He would definitely benefit greatly from a lively dog companion in his future home or foster home.

Carpen tarha sijaitsee rauhallisella maaseudulla. Tarhalla asuville koirille sijainti on ihanteellinen, mutta syrjäisessä sijainnissa on haasteensa. Tarhan lähialueilla ei juuri ole muita eläinsuojelijoita ja siksi alueella elää paljon kodittomia koiria. Sana tarhasta on levinnyt ja valitettavan usein ihmiset myös hylkäävät eläimiään tarhan lähistölle. Keväällä 2023 tarhaa ylläpitävä Carmen löysi tarhan läheisestä kylästä emon aivan pienten pentujensa kanssa. Emo oli kovin ystävällinen ja ihmisrakas, joten oli hyvin todennäköistä, että perhe oli hylätty ei-toivottuina kylään. Reipas emo löysikin pian kodin toisen yhdistyksen kautta ja myös yksi pennuista on päässyt Suomeen heidän kauttaan, mutta Lemon ja Lantus ovat sen verran ujompia, että päätyivät lopulta Emblan ohjelmaan. Lemon ja Lantus ovat tyypillisiä tarhalla kasvaneita nuoria koiria. He ovat valtavan innoissaan ihmisvieraista ja hääräilevät pysähtymättä hännät vipattaen ympäriinsä koko vierailun ajan. Kädestä tarjotut herkut maistuvat, mutta tilanne on kuitenkin sen verran uusi ja jännittävä, että koskettaviksi asti he eivät uskalla tulla. Ihmiset kiinnostavat heitä kovasti ja aina sopivan tilaisuuden tullen kumpikin sisaruksista käy varovasti nuuhkimassa vieraiden jalkoja ja sormenpäitä. Lantus puuhailee iloisesti ihmisen ympärillä. Jos tilanne käy hänen mielestään oudoksi hän ryhtyy herkästi haukkumaan, mikä on hyvä huomioida kotiympäristöä pohtiessa. Hän hyötyisi varmasti suuresti reippaasta koirakaverista myös tulevassa kodissa tai kotihoitopaikassa.

About Lantus

What life with Lantus looks like

Lantus is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Embla Rescue in Helsinki.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lantus, answered.

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