How do I contact the shelter about Mars?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. PESU — Pirkanmaan eläinsuojeluyhdistys handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mars on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mars if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PESU — Pirkanmaan eläinsuojeluyhdistys 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 Mars 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 Mars 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 PESU — Pirkanmaan eläinsuojeluyhdistys early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mars 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.

Mars

Mixed Breed · Male

Hi! My name is Mars who's apparently some war god. I don't know much more than that, but I'm big and a tough guy when I don't like something. My age is a bit of a mystery, but I'm definitely not a young guy. My shell has been damaged in the past and now needs attention. My carapace is beautiful and has grown normally. I'm a red-eared slider. I like to swim in the terrarium, but I also need to find a land area. Sometimes I have to get warmed up as well. The food tastes good and my favorite is crickets and the contents of mealworms. Vegetables don't really taste good, but you can always offer a little bit. Also, the prepared turtle pellets taste very good. I'm quite lively and a bit cautious in a new environment. When I've had time to get used to my surroundings and my caretaker, I become more confident and show off my beautiful swimming movements gladly. I'm looking for a home with an aquarium and all the necessary accessories for my species. Since I'm such a big guy, the aquarium also has to be really large (over 500 liters). Thank you for reading my advertisement and I hope you can offer me a forever home! Misu, a 7-year-old girl cat, friendly and clean house cat. Look here! We live here, Basmati and Jasu. Would you be looking for a common forever home for us?

AVIn pitopaikkatunnus: 24500557 Heips! Minun nimi on Mars joka kuulemma on joku sodan jumala. Siitä en sen enempää tiedä, mutta iso olen joka kova poika sähisemään kun en tykkää jostain. Ikäni on hieman mysteeri, mutta mikään nuori poika en ole. Ihoni tassuissa on aikanaan mennyt rikki ja nyt kaipaa seurantaa. Kilpeni on komea ja kasvanut normaalisti. Lajiltani olen keltakorvakilpikonna. Tykkään uida terraariossa, mutta maa-aluettakin täytyy löytyä. Täytyyhän sitä välillä päästä lämmittelemäänkin. Ruoka maistuu ja lemppariani on katkaravut ja simpukan sisältö. Kasvikset ei oikein maistu, mutta aina voi vähän tarjota. Myös vesikilpikonnien valmisnappulat maistuvat hyvin. Luonteeltani olen hyvin napakka ja vähän varovainen uudessa ympäristössä. Kun olen saanut ajan kanssa tutustua ympäristööni ja hoitajaani muutun itsevarmemmaksi ja näytän komeita uintiliikkeitä mielelläni. Etsin kotia, jossa on akvaario ja kaikki lajilleni tarvittavat lisävarusteet. Koska olen niin iso poika, täytyy akvaarionkin olla oikeasti kookas (yli 500 litraa). Kiitos kun luit ilmoitukseni ja toivottavasti tarjoat minulle loppuelämän kodin! Miauskis, minä olen Tao! Olen pieni ja persoonallinen kissaneiti. Mau! Tässä kurnahtelevat vauhdikkaat kissapojat Tiida ja Octavia. Ollaan toistemme parhaat kaverit, ja halutaan päästä yhteiseen loppuelämän kotiin. Klinikalla hoidetaan koirat, kissat , eksoottiset eläimet ja luonnonvaraiset eläimet. Klinikalla on uudet modernit laadukkaat laitteet diagnostiikkaa varten, mm. erilaiset tähystimet ( mm. gastroskooppi, fiberoskooppi, jäykkä tähystin ... ), hampaiden rtg...

About Mars

What life with Mars looks like

Mars is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at PESU — Pirkanmaan eläinsuojeluyhdistys in Tampere.

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.
