How do I contact the shelter about Tesla?

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

Can I adopt Tesla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — HESY 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 Tesla 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 Tesla 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 HESY early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tesla 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.

Tesla

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

18 June 2026: Tesla is a slightly slow-to-warm-up boy who approaches new people with shyness. Loud noises and sudden movements also make this sensitive doggy a bit nervous. However, Tesla becomes very attached to people he has come to trust, and in the company of familiar humans, he’s a joyful and affectionate soul. While at HESY, Tesla has shown himself to be house-trained. He hasn’t yet made much closer acquaintance with other dogs at HESY, but he tends to remain fairly indifferent toward other dogs from a short distance away. Tesla is looking for a calm, dog-experienced home with previous experience handling even more reserved dogs, where the family understands the temperament of a sensitive dog. Tesla will not be placed in a family with children, as life in a household with kids would likely be too noisy and hectic for him. Tesla is seeking his own home in a quiet suburban area or rural setting—a row house, semi-detached house, or single-family home—close to peaceful walking trails. 4 August 2026: With strangers, Tesla remains slow to warm up but friendly; with familiar people, however, he’s charmingly cheerful and a playful little fellow who seeks close companionship. On the leash, Tesla walks calmly and doesn’t react much to various environmental stimuli. Tesla plays energetically and jumps high in pursuit of treats!

18.6.2026: Tesla on hieman hitaasti lämpenevä poika, joka suhtautuu uusiin ihmisiin ujostellen. Myös kovat äänet ja nopeat liikkeet vähän jännittävät tätä herkänpuoleista koiraherraa. Luotettaviksi toteamiinsa ihmisiin Tesla kuitenkin kiintyy kovasti, ja tuttujen ihmisten seurassa hän on iloinen ja hellyydenkipeä persoona. HESYllä ollessaan Tesla on ollut sisäsiisti. Toisten koirien kanssa hän ei vielä HESYllä ole tehnyt sen tarkempaa tuttavuutta, mutta on suhtautunut pienen välimatkan päästä muihin koiriin melko välinpitämättömästi. Tesla etsii rauhallista ja koirakokenutta kotia, jolla on aiempaa kokemusta aremmistakin koirista, ja jossa ymmärretään herkän koiran mielenmaisemaa. Lapsiperheeseen Teslaa ei luovuteta, sillä lapsiperhearki on hänelle todennäköisesti turhan äänekästä ja hektistä. Tesla etsii omaa kotiaan rauhallisesta taajamasta tai haja-asutusalueelta, rivi-, pari- tai omakotitalosta, rauhallisten lenkkipolkujen lähistöltä. 4.8.2026: Tesla on vieraiden kanssa yhä hitaasti lämpenevä mutta ystävällinen, kun taas tuttujen ihmisten kanssa Tesla on hurmaavan hyväntuulinen ja läheisyyttä hakeva hassuttelija. Hihnassa Tesla kävelee rauhallisesti ja erilaisiin ympäristön ärsykkeisiin kummemmin reagoimatta. Tesla leikkii vauhdikkaasti ja hyppii korkealle herkkujen perässä!

About Tesla

What life with Tesla looks like

Tesla is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at HESY 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.
