Lola

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Sensitive Lola is looking for a calm home. Currently, only email inquiries are being accepted, contrary to normal procedures. Please tell us about your dog experience and what kind of home you could offer to Lol. Lola returned to the organization to find a new home due to the owner's life change. The breed of Lol includes greyhound and white shepherd. A sensitive girl who needs a calm lifestyle and routine from a new home. She reacts easily to stress with stomach issues. There have been signs of anxiety, which is why food is offered 3-4 times a day. Other dogs interest the girl, but after initial meetings, she shows indifference towards them. It takes time and calm introduction to go out to play. She usually walks nicely on a leash, may sometimes bark at other dogs, and will definitely respond to another dog's bark, but she is extremely food motivated and can always win over other dogs. She is a hunter, preferably would like to chase squirrels and rabbits, and in most cases, the toys have already been won back by the owner. She cannot be kept outdoors without a fenced area because of this hunting instinct. She walks nicely on public transport and car travel is also possible even if it makes her a bit nervous, in which case she may occasionally have motion sickness. Lol is looking for a calm adult home, as the girl cannot be surrendered to a family with children due to her sensitive nature. Lola is house trained and there is a foster home in Tampere where the girl can be introduced comfortably. 13.7.2019 Lola found a home. 8.6.2019 Lola is still a puppy and needs time and already existing dog training skills from a new owner. Lola is not yet completely house trained, and basic training is still ahead. Lola gets along with other dogs, and being alone goes a bit better if Lol has a dog companion, preferably a playful, social and confident male. Lola is somewhat shy, and Lol will not be given to a family with children or a cat household, as Lol also has quite a lot of hunting instincts, and will certainly hunt cats. Lola is agile and does not stay low within the fence, so Lol cannot be let out unless it is in a high-fenced area. In the car, Lola becomes nervous and stressed, may even vomit, but Lola has also traveled by bus, where the trip was easier. Lola is looking for a house or a detached home, as being alone is quite noisy, and therefore apartment living will not work.

Herkkäluonteinen Lola etsii rauhallista kotia Lolasta otetaan kyselyjä vastaan tällä hetkellä AINOASTAAN sähköpostitse normaaliohjeista poiketen. Kerrothan koirakokemuksestasi ja millainen koti sinulla olisi Lolalle tarjota. Lola palautui yhdistykselle uutta kotia etsimään omistajan elämänmuutoksen vuoksi. Lolan rotuperimästä löytyy greyhound ja valkoinenpaimenkoira. Luonteeltaan herkkä tyttö joka kaipaa uudelta kodilta rauhallista elämäntapaa ja rutiineja. Reagoi myös stressiin helposti vatsallaan. Närästystä on ilmennyt ja tästä syystä ruoka tarjoillaan 3-4 kertaa päivässä. Toiset koirat kiinnostavat tyttöä, alkututustumisen jälkeen osoittaa välinpitämättömyyttään niitä kohtaan. Leikkiin lähtemiseen tarvitaan aikaa ja rauhallinen tutustuminen. Lenkeillä kulkee pääosin nätisti hihnassa, saattaa joillekin haukahtaa ja toki vastaa toisen haukuntaan, on kuitenkin erittäin ruokamotivoitunut ja herkut voittaa muut koirat aina. Riistaviettinen, mielellään lähtisi oravien ja pupujen perään, namit ovat yleensä tässäkin saaneet voiton ja huomion takaisin taluttajaan. Ei irrallaan pitoa ilman aidattua aluetta juurikin tämän riistavietin takia. Julkisissa liikennevälineissä kulkee nätisti ja autolla matkanteko onnistuu myös vaikka jännittääkin autoilua, tällöin voi ajoittain olla pientä matkapahoinvointia. Lolalle haetaan rauhallista aikuiskotia, herkän luonteen vuoksi tyttöä ei luovuteta lapsiperheeseen. Lola on sisäsiisti ja sijaiskodissa Tampereella jonne tyttöön pääsee sovitusti tutustumaan. 13.7.2019 Lola sai kodin. 8.6.2019 Lola on vielä pentu, ja tarvitsee uudelta omistajaltaan aikaa ja jo valmiiksi koirankoulutustaitoja. Lola ei ole vielä täysin sisäsiisti, ja peruskoulutuskin on vielä edessä. Lola tulee toimeen toisten koirien kanssa, ja yksinolo sujuu hieman paremmin, jos Lolalla on koirakaveri, mielellään leikkisä, sosiaalinen ja yksinolon hallitseva uros. Lola on jonkin verran arahko, eikä Lolaa luovuteta lapsiperheeseen eikä kissalliseen perheeseen, sillä Lolalla on myös aika paljon riistaviettiä, ja varmasti kissoja jahtaa. Lola on ketterä, eikä pysy matalankaan aidan sisällä irrallaan, joten Lolaa ei voi päästää irti kuin korkeasti aidatulla alueella. Autossa Lola jännittää ja kuolaa, voi tulla puklukin, mutta Lola on matkustanut myös bussissa, jossa meno olikin helpompaa. Lola etsii kotia rivi- tai omakotitalosta, sillä ykisinolo on aika äänekästä, eikä kerrostaloelämä näinollen tule onnistumaan. Lola on hoidossa Tampereella, minne tyttöön pääsee sovitusti tutustumaan

About Lola

What life with Lola looks like

Lola is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rekku Rescue ry 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lola, answered.

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