I got one comment from Enkeli about adopting a dog. She asked me if there are any homeless dogs in Helsinki/Finland. Obviously the homeless dogs are not as common here as they are in Spain, Estonia or for instance in Russia. There are many homeless cats though.
I promised to give her some links where she can find out more about homeless dogs/(cats). I hope my other readers would also take a few minutes and go through couple of these links.

Wow, KIITOKSIA PALJON!!
I have now so much information that I don't even know how to start! haha
I will start by reading (I have difficulties to understand finnish and my man is not always around to help me :P) and maybe contacting some shelter.
To be honest, I didn't know about the abandoned cats I just thought if there weren't dogs, there would cats?but I guess people are the same in every place, some of them they think an animal is a toy :\
Thanx a lot Eveliina!! :))
You are very welcome. :0) I'm glad I could help and maybe one more dog or cat can have a good home this way.
If you need some help, just let me know.
