How do I contact the shelter about Sol?

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

Can I adopt Sol if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Finnmark 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 Sol 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 Sol 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 Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Finnmark early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sol 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 (NO). 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.

Sol

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Hann | Born 2017 | Not suitable with children | Not suitable with other animals Kosete and social good boy at nine years old is looking for a quiet home with safe outdoor areas. Sol had been homeless for several years when he came to the animal welfare organization. Now he is ready to have his own home again. Sol is a very affectionate and social type, who likes to come into the pen to get cuddles. He also loves food, and needs to be watched so he doesn't eat too much. We don't know how he is with children or other animals, and therefore are looking for a home with adults where he can be the only four-legged one. He has been used to being outside a lot, and will probably like to go out in his new home as well. However, he must be kept inside for a good while before he starts going outside. Sol is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and is rehomed for 1000 kroner. He is in a foster home in Vadsø and can be visited there. Can you give Sol a good home?

Hann | Født 2017 | Passer ikke med barn | Passer med en vennlig katt Kosete og sosial godgutt på ni år ønsker seg et rolig hjem med trygge uteområder. Sol hadde vært hjemløs i noen år da han kom til dyrebeskyttelsen. Nå er han klar for å få sitt eget hjem igjen. Sol er en veldig kosete og sosial type, som gjerne kommer i fanget for å få kos. Han er også veldig glad i mat, og må passes på så han ikke spiser for mye. Vi vet ikke hvordan han er med barn, og vi søker derfor etter et hjem uten små barn. Han har møtt både hund og katt den siste tida, og det ser ut til at han i hvert fall kan trives med å bo med en annen snill katt. Han kan nok også venne seg til en rolig kattevant hund. Han har vært vant til å være mye ute, og vil sikkert like å få gå ut i sitt nye hjem også. Han må imidlertid holdes inne en god stund før han begynner å være ute. Sol er kastrert, ID-merket og vaksinert og omplasseres for kr 1000. Han er i fosterhjem i Vadsø og kan hilses på der. Kan du gi Sol et godt hjem? Ta kontakt på

About Sol

What life with Sol looks like

Sol is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Finnmark in Alta.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇴Adopting from Norway

Norwegian rescues require thorough background checks. Animals leave with a Nordic pet passport and full vetting. Norway is outside the EU so import rules differ slightly — TRACES applies.
