Urho

Labrador Retriever · Male

Omaa kotiaan etsivä Urho on ystävällinen ja avoin persoona. Tämä elämään suurella innolla suhtautuva labbisherra on välillä melkoinen säheltäjä, mutta osaa tarvittaessa myös rauhoittua. Urho rakastaa ihmisiä, ja haluaisi aina päästä tutustumaan kaikkiin ja kaikkeen. Läheisyyden lisäksi myös leikkiminen ja ruoka kuuluvat Urhon lempijuttuihin. Urho esitteleekin mielellään temppujaan jos nameja on tarjolla. Reipas Urho voisi soveltua lähes minkälaiseen perheeseen tahansa. Vaikka Urho on kiltti luonteeltaan, ei hän välttämättä ole paras valinta ihan pienten lasten perheeseen – Urho ei aina tiedosta omaa kokoaan ja saattaa innostuessaan hyppiä ja keilata pienet lapset kumoon. Urho etsii kotia, jolta löytyy aikaa ja intoa puuhailla touhukkaan koiran kanssa. Urho kaipaa tasapainoista arkea, sopivissa määrin aktivointia sekä rauhoittumisharjoituksia.

About Urho

What life with Urho looks like

Urho is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at HESY in Helsinki.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Urho, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Urho?
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 Urho on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Urho 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 Urho 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 Urho 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 Urho 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.
