Åke

Mixed Breed · Unknown

This lovely boy is named Åke, he is full of energy and loves people. Åke was brought to our shelter by a veterinarian along with his brother. Åke is a hunting dog that hunts pigs and we therefore want Åke to end up in a home where he can work off his energy. If he doesn't work as a hunting dog, we want him to burn off his energy in other ways. Åke needs to practice walking on a leash as he is unaccustomed to it. He has a half-tail, but this doesn't stop him from being the social and happy boy he is. He is a kind and happy dog who unfortunately doesn't like other animals and would do best living alone. Åke will live in a family with a lot of animal experience and you should have time and patience to help Åke move forward in life. Åke will become a loyal friend in the right family. Åke will come to Sweden neutered, vaccinated, chipped and with an EU pass. He has been in the enclosure since 2024

Denna härliga kille heter Åke, han är full av energi och älskar människor. Åke lämnades in på vårat hägn av en veterinär tillsammans med sin bror. Åke är en jakthund som jagar gris och vi vill därför att Åke hamnar i ett hem där han får arbeta med sin energi han har. Om han inte skulle funka som jakthund vill vi att han får göra sig av med sin energi på annat vis. Åke behöver träna på att gå i koppel då han är ovan. Han har en halv svans med det är inget som hindrar honom från att vara den sociala glada kille han är. Han är en snäll och glad hund som tyvärr inte gillar andra djur och skulle må bäst av att bo ensam. Åke ska bo i en familj med stor djurvana och ni ska ha tid och tålamod för att hjälpa Åke framåt i livet. Åke kommer bli en trogen vän i rätt familj. Åke kommer till Sverige kastrerad, vaccinerad, chippad och med eu-pass. Har suttit i hägnet sedan 2024

About Åke

What life with Åke looks like

Åke is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rolda Sverige in Södertälje (foster network).

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 Sweden

Swedish shelters require an adoption application and home visit. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized. Cross-border placements within the EU use the standard pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Åke, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Åke?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rolda Sverige handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Åke on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Åke if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rolda Sverige 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Åke 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 Åke 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 Rolda Sverige early rather than rehoming privately; they know Åke 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 (SV). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
