Tellu

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Tellu is a lively and energetic multi-breed dog looking for a new home. Tellu is friendly and affectionate, but can be a bit stubborn at times. Tellu is a good house dog and is well-behaved indoors, but needs plenty of exercise and walks. Tellu has a strong prey drive and will chase anything that moves in the field or bushes, so off-leash walking is not recommended. Tellu is well-behaved in the car and is not prone to motion sickness. Tellu gets along well with other dogs, especially with male dogs, and would benefit from having a social companion in the new home. Tellu is protective of her food and treats, and may growl if another dog approaches her food bowl. Tellu is not comfortable being left alone for long periods of time and may bark or howl when left alone. Tellu is a young and energetic dog who enjoys hiking, playing with her owners, and training. Tellu is not suitable for families with very young children, but would be a good fit for families with older children or teenagers. Tellu is looking for a home in a detached house, preferably in a rural area. Tellu is a well-behaved and affectionate dog who would make a great companion for the right family.

Tellu kaipailee liikunnallista kotia Tellusta otetaan kyselyjä vastaan tällä hetkellä AINOASTAAN sähköpostitse normiohjeista poiketen. Kerrothan koirakokemuksestasi ja millainen koti sinulla olisi Tellulle tarjota. Kaunis monirotuinen Tellu etsii uutta kotia. Tellu ottaa vieraat vastaan haukahdellen mutta on kuitenkin ystävällinen ja hakeekin hetken päästä rapsutuksia. Sisätiloissa Tellu on rauhallinen, lenkillä tyttö on sitten reipastakin reippaampi. Hihnassa kävelee hieman vetäen, on kuitenkin hyvin hallittavissa. Tellulla on riistaviettiä, kaikki liikkuva pellolla tai puskissa kiinnostaa, lähtee takuulla pupun, peuran tai mustarastaan perään jos vaan mahdollista. Irrallaan pitoa ei tästä syystä suositella, nähdessään jotain mielenkiintoista unohtaa helposti kuunnella käskyjä. Aidatulla alueella on turvallista juosta mielin määrin ja tutkia hajuja. Automatkustus on Tellulle tuttua puuhaa ja hypähtääkin autoon innokkaasti, ei ole pahoinvoiva. Tellu tulee toimeen toisten koirien kanssa, urosten kanssa varmimmin ja tulevassa kodissa olisikin hyvä olla reipas, sosiaalinen koirakaveri odottelemassa. On kuitenkin tarkka omasta ruokakipostaan tai herkuistaan, mikäli toinen koira lähestyy kippoa missä on ruokaa jäljellä, Tellu siirtyy kupin eteen seisomaan ja tarvittaessa vilauttaa hampaitaan tehden selväksi että nämä on minun. Kupit on kuitenkin varmuuden vuoksi kerätty ruokailujen jälkeen pois. Ruokinta ja mahdollisten herkkujen anto tehdään aina valvotusti. Yksinolo on Tellulle vaikeahkoa, jäädessään yksin haukkuu tai ulvoo. Sijaiskodissa tätä ongelmaa ei ole ollut, seurana on aina koirakavereita joten täysin yksin ei Tellun ole tarvinnut olla. Ei myöskään ole tehnyt mitään tuhoja ihmisen poissa ollessa. Ihmisen palatessa kertoo Tellu kuuluvasti päivän kulumiset ja hypähtää vasten hakien silityksiä. Myös innostuessaan hypähtelee vasten ja tätä tapaa kitketään sijaiskodissa pois. Tellu on nuori ja eläväinen tyttö joka nauttii metsälenkeistä, touhuta ihmisensä kanssa ja kouluttamalla tytöstä voisikin saada kivan harrastuskaverin. Ihan pienten lasten perheeseen Tellua ei sijoiteta, isompien jo teini-ikäisten kanssa yhteiselo on tuttua tytölle. Tellulle etsitään kotia omakotitalosta mieluiten maaseudulta. Kaupunkielämä ei tytölle sovi, stressaantuu helposti liiasta hälinästä. Huomioitahan että koiran käytös voi poiketa kuvauksesta uuteen kotiin siirtyessään. Koiralle tulee antaa riittävästi aikaa sopeutuakseen uuteen kotiinsa ja ihmisiinsä. Tellu on sisäsiisti ja sijaiskodissa Pukkilassa jonne tyttöön pääsee sovitusti tutustumaan. Painoa Tellulla on 12,4kg ja korkeutta n.45cm.

About Tellu

What life with Tellu looks like

Tellu is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rekku Rescue ry in Helsinki.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tellu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tellu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rekku Rescue ry handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tellu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tellu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rekku Rescue ry 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 Tellu 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 Tellu 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 Rekku Rescue ry early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tellu 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.
