How do I contact the shelter about Sera?

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

Can I adopt Sera if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — KSESY -- Keski-Suomen Elainsuojeluyhdistys 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 Sera 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 Sera 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 KSESY -- Keski-Suomen Elainsuojeluyhdistys early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sera 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.

Adopt Sera

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Sera, about 2 years old, is looking for a loving and permanent home. Sera is small, about 14 kg. Sera herself is a very kind girl, but is initially a bit cautious with new people and avoids other dogs. This has not appeared as aggression but rather as fear. After being adopted, Sera is very loving and wonderful. She can manage well on walks, and due to her compact size, she is suitable for many activities. Sera sometimes suffers from separation anxiety, but this has been helped by sufficient activity before being left alone, such as good walks and calming down before being left alone. Signs of separation anxiety have included pulling the door handle. She has not caused damage to furniture and has always returned quietly home. The best home for Sera would be a place where there are no small children because of their energetic nature. In a permanent home, there should be loving and committed people who will definitely become Sera's lifelong friend. Sera is a lovely and kind girl who is just a little unsure. Sera is being surrendered with a vet check, spayed, microchipped, de-shedded, and vaccinated. Siru is registered with Turvasiru. The new owner must take care of registering the dog in the dog register. Sera's time for spaying is May 25, 2026. Please describe yourself and your home thoroughly in the application, along with your previous experience with dogs and your own view on why you would be the best possible owner for Sera. We will select the most suitable candidates from the applications and invite them for an interview.

Arviolta noin 2-vuotias Sera-neiti etsii itselleen rakastavaa ja pysyvää kotia. Sera on pieni, noin 14 kg. Sera itse on hyvin kiltti tyttö, mutta on alkuun hieman varautunut uusiin ihmisiin, sekä välttelee toisia koiria. Tämä ei ole kuitenkaan esiintynyt aggressiivisuutena vaan pikemminkin pelokkuutena. Leimauduttuaan Sera on hyvin rakastava ja ihana. Hän jaksaa hyvin lenkkeillä, ja on kompaktin kokonsa puolesta sopiva moneen aktiviteettiin.Sera kärsii ajoittain eroahdistuksesta, mutta tähän on auttanut riittävä aktivointi ennen yksin jäämistä, kuten esimerkiksi hyvä lenkitys ja rauhoittuminen ennen yksin jäämistään. Eroahdistuksessa oireina on ollut ulko-oven karmin repimistä. Huonekaluihin hän ei ole tehnyt tuhoa ja aina on ollut hiljaista kotiin takaisin tullessa.Seralle paras koti olisi paikka, missä ei ole pieniä lapsia heidän vilkkauden takia. Pysyvässä kodissa tulisi olla rakastavia ja sitoutuneita ihmisiä, jotka saavat Serasta varmasti elämän mittaisen ystävän ❤️ Sera on ihana ja kiltti tyttö, joka on vain vielä hieman epävarma ❤️ Sera luovutetaan eläinlääkärin tarkastamana, steriloituna, sirutettuna, loishäädettynä ja rokotettuna. Siru rekisteröidään Turvasiruun. Uuden omistajan tulee huolehtia koiransa rekisteröiminen koirarekisteriin. Seran aika sterilointiin on 25.5.2026 Kerrothan hakemuksessa kattavasti itsestäsi ja kodistasi, aiemmasta kokemuksestasi koirien kanssa sekä oman näkemyksesi miksi juuri sinä olisit paras mahdollinen omistaja Seralle. Valitsemme hakemusten joukosta Seralle sopivimmat ehdokkaat ja kutsumme heidät haastateltaviksi.

About Sera

What life with Sera looks like

Sera is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at KSESY -- Keski-Suomen Elainsuojeluyhdistys in Ksesy.

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.
