How do I contact the shelter about Tobis?

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 Tobis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tobis 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 Tobis 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 Tobis 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 Tobis 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.

Tobis

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I need a peaceful environment: No. I can live in the city: Yes. I am suitable for a family with children: No information. I get along with other dogs: Yes. I have lived with cats: No information. I have the following special characteristics in terms of character or breed characteristics: No. Energetic case, loves long walks. Things to consider regarding my health: No. I have undergone the following health measures: Dental care done. I have lived in home or home care: No. I have been at the shelter for over 2 years: No. I know how to walk on a leash: Yes. HAUska to meet, I am Tobis, a lovely tail-wagger. The reason I do not currently have a home is a bit unclear. I ended up at the shelter because my owner no longer wanted to keep me. My former owner brought me to the shelter, but at that time I was not yet taken in. Because I had a home and owner, he was asked to keep me for a little while longer. Unfortunately, soon after this I was found wandering the streets and taken to safety at the shelter. However, I will not let this setback discourage me, but I will happily shake off the dust of my sad past and look for a new home.

• Tarvitsen rauhallisen ympäristön: En • Voin asua kaupungissa: Kyllä • Sovin lapsiperheeseen: Ei tietoa • Tulen toimeen muiden koirien kanssa: Kyllä • Olen asunut kissojen kanssa: Ei tietoa • Minulla on seuraavia erityispiirteitä luonteen tai rotuominaisuuksien osalta: Ei. Energinen tapaus, rakastaa pitkiä lenkkejä. • Huomioitavia asioita terveyteni osalta ovat: Ei. • Minulle on tehty seuraavia terveystoimenpiteitä: Hammashoito tehty. • Olen asunut kotioloissa tai kotihoidossa: En • Olen ollut tarhalla yli 2 vuotta: En • Osaan kulkea hihnassa: Kyllä HAUska tavata, olen Tobis, ihastuttava hännänheiluttaja. Syy miksi minulla ei tällä hetkellä ole kotia, on hieman epäselvä. Päädyin tarhalle, sillä omistajani ei halunnut enää pitää minua. Entinen omistajani toi minut tarhalle, mutta silloin minua ei vielä otettu sisään. Koska minulla oli koti ja omistaja, häntä pyydettiin pitämään minua vielä hetken aikaa. Valitettavasti pian tämän jälkeen minut löydettiin kaduilta vaeltamassa ja vietiin turvaan tarhalle. En kuitenkaan anna tämän takapakin lannistaa, vaan heiluttelen ikävälle menneisyydelle pölyhuiskaani ja etsin iloisesti uutta kotia.

About Tobis

What life with Tobis looks like

Tobis is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pet Rescue Finland in Helsinki.

An 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.
