How do I contact the shelter about Odinas?

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

Can I adopt Odinas if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pet Rescue Finland 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 Odinas 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 Odinas 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 Pet Rescue Finland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Odinas 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.

• Need a calm environment: Yes • Can live in the city: No • Get along with families with children: Unknown • Can get along with other dogs: Yes • Have lived with cats: Unknown • I have the following special characteristics regarding temperament or breed traits: Yes, I am quite a shy dog, so it would be good to have experience with similar dogs in my new home. I am modest, but over time I get attached to safe people • Things to note regarding my health: None • The following health procedures have been done for me: Dental care • Have I lived in a home environment in foster care?: No • Have I been in a shelter kennel for more than 2 years: Yes • I can walk on a leash: Yes, but in quiet places with safe people. My life really starts in very shocking conditions. Myself and a few friends were found from the Pasvalys area from a yard. The conditions were terrible: dogs in short metal chains in the middle of a garbage dump. Everything there was unhygienic, dangerous and stressful. Fortunately, the world also has kind people, through whose help I could reach the shelter kennel safely. Because of my past, I am always a bit cautious towards strangers at first, but when I feel safe, I show my friendly and happy side. I love attention and can be playful with familiar people. I am affectionate, calm and really gentle dog. A real gentleman! Although I have been scared a lot sometimes, I have not shown any aggression towards people or other dogs.

• Tarvitsen rauhallisen ympäristön: Kyllä • Voin asua kaupungissa: Ei • Sovin lapsiperheeseen: Ei tietoa • Tulen toimeen muiden koirien kanssa: Kyllä • Olen asunut kissojen kanssa: Ei tietoa • Minulla on seuraavia erityispiirteitä luonteen tai rotuominaisuuksien osalta: Kyllä, olen aika ujo koira, joten uudessa kodissani olisi hyvä olla kokemusta kaltaisistani. Olen vaatimaton, mutta ajan kanssa kiinnyn turvallisiin ihmisiin • Huomioitavia asioita terveyteni osalta ovat: Ei huomioitavaa • Minulle on tehty seuraavia terveystoimenpiteitä: Hammashoito • Olen asunut kotioloissa kotihoidossa: Ei • Olen ollut tarhalla yli 2 vuotta: Kyllä • Osaan kulkea hihnassa: Kyllä, mutta rauhallisissa paikoissa turvallisten ihmisten kanssa Elämäni alkaa tosiaan valitettavan järkyttävistä olosuhteista. Minut ja muutama ystäväni on löydetty Pasvalysin alueelta eräältä pihalta. Olosuhteet olivat kammottavat: koiria lyhyissä metalliketjuissa keskellä roskavuoria. Kaikki siinä paikassa oli epäterveellistä, vaarallista ja ahdistavaa. Onneksi maailma kantaa päällään myös mukavia ihmisiä, jollaisten avulla pääsin tarhalle turvaan. Menneisyyteni takia olen aina alkuun hieman varautunut vieraita kohtaan, mutta kun tunnen oloni turvalliseksi, näytän ystävällisen ja iloisen puoleni. Rakastan huomiota ja osaan olla leikkisä tuttujen ihmisten kanssa. Olen luonteeltani lempeä, rauhallinen ja todella suloinen koira. Oikea herrasmies! Vaikka minua onkin pelottanut välillä kovasti, en ole osoittanut aggressiota ihmisiä tai muita koiria kohtaan.

About Odinas

What life with Odinas looks like

Odinas is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pet Rescue Finland 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.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet environment, initially shy with strangers, requires experienced owner familiar with timid dogs

🇫🇮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.
