How do I contact the shelter about Pate (Kleopatra)?

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 Pate (Kleopatra) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pate (Kleopatra) 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 Pate (Kleopatra) 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 Pate (Kleopatra) 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 Pate (Kleopatra) 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.

My real name is Cleopatra, but in order for my diva personality not to be immediately revealed, I use the everyday "Pate" as my nickname. To be a bit of a dominant diva, I can also be a wonderful happy companion who doesn't seem to really understand how beautiful a being I actually am! Let that be part of my charm! I arrived at the shelter kennel together with nine other dogs. We were rescued from the countryside, where we lived in a place where dogs had reproduced uncontrollably. It wasn't an easy time for us, but now I am safe here at Siauliai Letelene Dog Shelter in Northern Lithuania. I am still waiting here for my own home.

Oikea nimeni on Kleopatra, mutta jotta diivamainen luonteeni ei heti paljastuisi, käytän arkista ”Patea” kutsumanimenäni. Ollakseni hieman dominantti-diiva, osaan olla myös ihana iloinen toheltaja, joka ei taida edes oikeastaan ymmärtää, kuinka sievä olento oikeastaan olen! Se olkoon osa viehätysvoimaani! Saavuin tarhalle yhdessä yhdeksän muun koiran kanssa. Meidät pelastettiin maaseudulta, missä elimme paikassa, jossa koiria oli päässyt syntymään hallitsemattomasti. Se ei ollut meille helppoa aikaa, mutta nyt olen turvassa täällä Siauliau Letelene -koiratarhalla Pohjois-Liettuassa. Odottelen täällä edelleen omaa kotiani.

About Pate (Kleopatra)

What life with Pate (Kleopatra) looks like

Pate (Kleopatra) 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.

🇫🇮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.
