Orion

Mixed Breed · Male

Orion is a male dog born in August 2025. He is a mix of German Shepherd and White Shepherd. Orion is a very energetic and enthusiastic young dog, with a lot of enthusiasm for all activities they do together. Orion is highly motivated to learn new things and especially enjoys activities with people and brain-based tasks. He finds it very meaningful to do things together and is eager to participate in training sessions. Orion already knows basic commands, and his eagerness to learn gives a good starting point for practicing new skills in his future home. Orion's energetic nature and enthusiasm for activities require a new home to commit to training, sufficient exercise, and meaningful activities to meet the needs of an active young dog's mind. Orion is open to people and enjoys spending time with them. However, living with other animals should be carefully considered. Orion does not get along with male dogs, and there is no comprehensive information about his attitude towards other dogs or other animals. Therefore, he is primarily looking for a home where he can be the only pet. Due to his lively nature, we do not recommend Orion for families with young children. Due to his nature and energy, we recommend a detached house with a fenced yard for Orion. A fenced yard would provide plenty of opportunities for joint play, training, and other activities. Orion is looking for a dog-experienced person who understands the needs of an energetic dog. Orion is waiting to find his own home in Onnentassu in Riihimäki. The adoption fee for Orion is €700.

FI·Show original

Orion on Elokuussa 2025 syntynyt uros. Orionissa on sekä saksanpaimenkoiraa että valkoistapaimenkoiraa. Orion on todella energinen ja innokas nuori koira, josta löytyy valtavasti intoa kaikkeen yhteiseen tekemiseen. Orion on erittäin motivoitunut oppimaan uutta ja nauttii erityisesti ihmisen kanssa puuhailusta sekä erilaisista aivotyöskentelyä vaativista tehtävistä. Hänelle yhdessä tekeminen on selvästi mielekästä, ja hän lähtee innokkaasti mukaan yhteisiin harjoitteluhetkiin. Orion osaa jo peruskäskyjä, ja hänen oppimishalunsa antaa hyvät lähtökohdat uusien taitojen harjoitteluun myös tulevassa kodissa. Orionin energinen luonne ja tekemisen into vaativat kuitenkin uudelta kodilta sitoutumista koulutukseen, riittävää liikuntaa sekä mielekästä tekemistä myös nuoren koiran aktiivisen mielen tarpeisiin. Orion suhtautuu ihmisiin avoimesti ja nauttii yhteisestä ajasta heidän kanssaan. Muiden eläinten kanssa yhteiseloa tulee kuitenkin harkita tarkkaan. Orion ei tule toimeen urosten kanssa, eikä hänen suhtautumisestaan muihin koiriin tai muihin eläimiin ole kattavaa tietoa. Tämän vuoksi hänelle etsitään ensisijaisesti kotia, jossa hän saisi olla perheen ainoana lemmikkinä. Vilkkaan luonteensa takia emme suosittele Orionia perheeseen, jossa on pieniä lapsia. Luonteensa ja energisyytensä vuoksi Orionille suositaan omakotitaloa, jossa olisi aidattu piha. Oma piha tarjoaisi mukavasti mahdollisuuksia yhteisiin leikkihetkiin, harjoitteluun ja muuhun puuhailuun. Orion etsii koirakokenutta ihmistä, joka ymmärtää energisen koiran tarpeita. Orion odottelee oman kodin löytymistä Riihimäellä Onnentassussa. Orionin luovutushinta on 700€

About Orion

What life with Orion looks like

Orion is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu in Finland.

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 Orion, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Orion?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Orion on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Orion if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Orion 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 Orion 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 Eläinsuojelukeskus Onnentassu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Orion 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.
