How do I contact the shelter about Paloma?

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

Can I adopt Paloma 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 Paloma 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 Paloma 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 Paloma 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.

Paloma

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Paloma is one of many young dogs that have grown up at the shelter. She lives in a large dog pack on one of the shelter's yards and gets along well with the others. She is curious about people and always hangs around when there are people in the yard. However, she is too nervous to stay and be petted by strangers. Familiar people can pet her when the situation is calm. Paloma seems to be a very sweet and sympathetic personality who would probably quickly become more confident in a home environment with the support of a friendly dog companion.

Cosoban alueella ei ennen Adinan tarhaa ollut juuri mitään apua kodittomille koirille. Niinpä tieto tarhasta on levinnyt nopeasti ja paikalliset tietävät hyvin, mihin apua tarvitsevia koiria voi viedä. Koirien kannalta pääsy tarhalle on lottovoitto, mutta jatkuvasti äärimmilleen venytetyillä resursseilla selviytyvälle Adinalle jatkuva tulva uusia koiria on vaikea paikka. Vaikka Adina kieltäytyy parhaansa mukaan uusista koirista, hylätään tarhalle ja sen läheisyyteen silti jatkuvalla syötöllä uusia pentuja. Ja koska pentuja on paljon, ovat mahdollisuudet sosiaalistaa heitä kovin vähäiset. Niinpä osa pennuista on jäänyt varovaisiksi ja nyt he ovat ehtineet kasvaa tarhalla ujoiksi nuoriksi aikuisiksi. Paloma on yksi monista tarhalla kasvaneista nuorista koirista. Hän elää yhdellä tarhan pihoista isossa koiralaumassa ja pärjää porukassa hienosti. Hän suhtautuu ihmisiin uteliaasti ja pyörii lähellä aina, kun pihalla on ihmisiä. Vieraiden ihmisten kanssa kosketus kuitenkin jännittää liikaa, jotta hän uskaltaisi jäädä rapsuteltavaksi. Tutut ihmiset saavat häntä rapsutella, kun tilanne ympärillä on rauhallinen. Paloma vaikuttaakin kovin herttaiselta ja sympaattiselta persoonalta, joka reipastuisi varmasti nopeasti kotioloissa reippaan koirakaverin tukemana.

About Paloma

What life with Paloma looks like

Paloma 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.
