How do I contact the shelter about Marie?

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

Can I adopt Marie 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 Marie 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 Marie 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 Marie 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.

Marie

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The Carpen shelter kennel is located in the middle of fields on the edge of a small village. Typically, in a Romanian village, many dogs live freely, and despite sterilization campaigns, homeless animal puppies continue to be born constantly. The villagers are familiar with Carmen, who maintains the shelter, and often ask her for help with the animals they find. Thus, the shelter has also become home to the siblings Doris, Marie and Oreo. One of Carmen's acquaintances found the puppies by the side of a large road near the village and immediately realized that the small puppies would not survive long in such a place. Therefore, she took the puppies with her and brought them to safety at Carpen shelter kennel. Marie is really a very friendly personality. Although he has grown up at the shelter, he has retained his love for people and curious nature. Therefore, he is also happy to greet strangers, even though meeting new people clearly makes him a bit nervous. At first, Mari's nervousness is released as happy whining, and he doesn't really know which way to go. Therefore, he hops desperately between his older siblings and nibbles on people's fingers as if saying 'notice me too'. When the situation calms down a bit, Mari's behavior also becomes more relaxed and he comes cautiously asking for pats. The strange situation is sometimes a bit stressful for him, and then he goes to get courage further away, but returns very soon back to the person's side. Marie appears to be a very confident personality. He gets along well with all his cage mates.

Carpen tarha sijaitsee keskellä peltoja pienen maalaiskylän laidalla. Romanialaiselle maalaiskylälle tyypillisesti alueella elää paljon vapaana liikkuvia koiria ja tästä johtuen kodittomia pentuja syntyy sterilointikampanjoista huolimatta jatkuvasti lisää. Kylän asukkaat ovat tutustuneet tarhaa ylläpitävään Carmeniin ja pyytävät häneltä usein apua löytämiensä eläinten kanssa. Näin ovat päätyneet tarhalle myös sisarukset Doris, Marie ja Oreo. Eräs Carmenin tutuista oli löytänyt pennut ison tien varrelta läheltä kylää ja todennut heti, etteivät pienet pennut selviäisi kauaa sellaisessa paikassa. Niinpä hän otti pennut mukaansa ja toi heidät turvaan Carpen tarhalle. Marie on todella sympaattinen persoona. Vaikka hän on kasvanut tarhalla, on hän säilyttänyt ihmisrakkaan ja uteliaan luonteensa. Niinpä hän on heti iloisesti myös vieraita vastassa, vaikka uusien ihmisten tapaaminen selvästi hieman jännittääkin häntä. Alkuun Marien jännitys purkautuu iloisena häsellyksenä eikä hän oikein tiedä miten päin olla. Niinpä hän pomppii epätoivoisesti isompien sisarustensa välissä ja nuolee ihmisen sormia kuin sanoen, että huomaathan minutkin. Kun tilanne hieman rauhoittuu myös Marien meno tasoittuu ja hän tulee varovasti pyytämään rapsutuksia. Outo tilanne on hänelle välillä hieman jännittävä ja silloin hän käy hakemassa rohkeutta kauempaa, mutta palaa sitten hyvin pian takaisin ihmisen lähelle. Marie vaikuttaa hyvin kiltiltä persoonalta. Hän tulee hienosti toimeen kaikkien häkkikavereidensa kanssa.

About Marie

What life with Marie looks like

Marie 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.
