• Need a quiet environment: No • Can live in the city: Yes • Get along with families: Yes • Can get along with other dogs: Yes • Have lived with cats: Not known • I have the following special features regarding temperament or breed characteristics: Occasional shyness • Things to consider regarding my health: None • The following health measures have been done for me: None • Have lived in home care: No • Have been in shelter kennel for more than 2 years: No • Can walk on a leash: Yes • (Other): My home was located in the countryside of Birzai, with my sad famous aunt. This is a regrettable example of a backyard population. The old aunt lives in a dilapidated house without running water or electricity. The yard always has a various number of young and old dogs that fear people. They have tried to lure them, but we are too smart to go into the trap. Only our owner can handle us. The aunt is usually very reluctant to give up the dogs, even though she can't take care of them. This time the aunt was convinced to give 16 dogs, 11 of which were puppies. All the dogs lived freely in the yard, completely at the mercy of the weather and wild animals, and there was no knowledge of socialization at all. So I ended up with my siblings in the shelter kennel, and it was really a fortune. Here we are taken care of and our basic needs are met. My siblings have already found homes in Lithuania, but I am still in the shelter kennel waiting for my luck. Unfortunately, suitable families have not been found, since the owner of the yard does not give us to just anyone, but is careful that our future owners are suitable for each particular dog. We are like dear family members.

Kyseessä on valitettava malliesimerkki populaatiopihasta. Vanha mummo asuu ränsistyneessä talossa vailla juoksevaa vettä tai sähköä. Pihamaalla vilistää aina erinäinen määrä nuoria ja vanhoja koiria, jotka pelkäävät ihmisiä. Niitä on yritetty loukuttaa, mutta olemme liian fiksuja mennäksemme ansaan. Ainoastaan omistajamme pystyy käsittelemään meitä. Mummo on yleensä hyvin vastentahtoinen luovuttamaan koiria, vaikka ei kykenekkään niitä hoitamaan. Tällä kertaa mummo saatiin suostuteltua antamaan 16 koiraa, joista 11 oli pentuja. Kaikki koirat asuivat vapaana pihalla, täysin säiden ja villieläinten armoilla, eikä tietoakaan sosiaalistumisesta. Niin minä sitten päädyin sisarusteni kanssa tarhalle ja se olikin varsinainen onni. Täällä meistä välitetään ja perustarpeemme täytetään. Sisarukseni ovat jo löytäneet kodit Liettuasta, mutta minä olen vielä tarhalla odottamassa onneani. Valitettavasti sopivia perheitä ei ole löytynyt, sillä tarhan omistaja ei anna meitä ihan kenen tahansa matkaan, vaan on tarkka, että tulevat omistajamme ovat sopivia juuri kyseiselle koiralle. Olemmehan me kuin rakkaita perheenjäseniä.

About Sailas

What life with Sailas looks like

Sailas is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pet Rescue Finland in Helsinki.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇮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 Sailas, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sailas?
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 Sailas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sailas 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 Sailas 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 Sailas 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 Sailas 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.
