Vanamo

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Romanian population of homeless dogs is mainly maintained by people's actions. Poor education, beliefs, poverty and ignorance of the benefits of spaying are among the numerous reasons why pet dogs are not sterilized. Because dogs are not sterilized, new litters are born continuously. For most owners, these puppies are an unwanted additional cost and therefore most puppies are abandoned anywhere. In 2018, Adina, who maintains the Cosoban shelter, received a call asking to take in such an unwanted litter. The mother dog was owned by a woman who suddenly wanted to get rid of the puppies. If Adina did not take the puppies, they would be abandoned somewhere. Since such small puppies could not survive on their own, Adina had no choice but to take the small puppies to her shelter.

Romanian suurta kodittomien koirien määrää ylläpitää ennen kaikkea ihmisten toiminta. Huono koulutustaso, uskomukset, köyhyys ja tietämättömyys sterilointien hyödyistä ovat osa lukuisista syistä sille, miksi omistettuja koiria ei steriloida. Koska koiria ei steriloida, uusia pentuja syntyy jatkuvasti. Useimmille omistajille nämä pennut ovat ei-toivottu lisäkustannus ja niinpä suuri osa pennuista hylätään milloin mihinkin. Vuonna 2018 Cosoban tarhaa ylläpitävä Adina sai yhteydenoton, jossa pyydettiin hakemaan tällainen ei-toivottu pentue. Koirien emon omisti nainen, joka halusi äkkiä pennuista eroon. Jos Adina ei ottaisi pentuja, ne hylättäisiin johonkin. Koska niin pienet pennut eivät millään selviytyisi omillaan, ei Adina voinut muuta kuin hakea pienet pennut tarhalleen.

About Vanamo

What life with Vanamo looks like

Vanamo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Embla Rescue 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vanamo, answered.

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