How do I contact the shelter about Alan?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundhjälpen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alan if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundhjälpen 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 Alan 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 Alan 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 Hundhjälpen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alan 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Alan

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Our lovely Alan is seen in abundance with his cheerful demeanor and his light, fluffy fur. He is a sunbeam in dog form with a positive attitude toward everything that is fun. Alan loves his people in the yard and is always ready to socialize. Everything is fun when you do it together – adventures on walks, playing in the playpark, snuggling and petting, and just being close. He is a sweet and active boy with positive energy and a curiosity about life – but his wonderful personality is somewhat blocked by his existence in the yard, which doesn’t suit him. A future best friend. Alan is his sister Kimi’s big support. She is a shy girl and he can with his good social skills and even temperament give her a sense of security. If Kimi could go with him to the new home, it would be a blessing. We give you a special offer. Alan also works well with other dogs – but they should be kind and happy – no bullies. On walks, he has also met some of the yard’s cats and been friendly curious – so a cat in the new home would be okay. To our charmer Alan we are looking for a warm, welcoming forever home where he is given star status – which he will love. The home should be a bit quieter located with beautiful natural areas nearby as Alan will thrive in our grounds. A dog companion (if it can be Kimi, we have a great offer) would be nice as Alan thrives in dog company and gets a mentor in the new life. Cats are okay. Important – Alan has grown up in a protected environment behind high walls. He must never be pressured where he feels insecure – in new environments or among new people. Background: Mamma Regina held on at the nuclear power plant in Cernavoda, a popular place for homeless dogs. Here, in all these years, there have been highly educated and even foreign personnel who often have a slightly different view on these desperate dogs and often ask SaveTheDogs to intervene when a dog is in need. Regina was discovered in a nearby bush with her 9 small whelps.

Vår härlige Alan syns i mängden med sin glada uppsyn och sin lätt randiga päls. Han är solsken i hundformat som har en positiv inställning till allt som är roligt. Alan älskar sina människor i hägnet och är alltid redo för att umgås. Allt är roligt när man gör det tillsammans – äventyr på promenaderna, lek i lekparken, mysande och kliande och bara att få vara nära. Han är en pigg och aktiv kille med positiv energi och en nyfikenhet på livet – men hans härliga personlighet blockeras delvis av tillvaron i hägnet som inte passar honom. Någons framtida bästis. Alan är sin syster Kimis stora stöd. Hon är en blyg tjej och han kan med sin goda sociala förmåga och jämna humör skänka henne trygghet. Fick Kimi följa med till det nya hemmet vore det lycka mångfaldigad. Vi ger dig ett speciellt erbjudande. Alan fungerar bra med andra hundar också – men de bör vara snälla och glada – inga bufflar. På promenaderna har han även träffat några av hägnets katter och varit vänligt nyfiken – så en katt i det nya hemmet är ok. Till vår charmör Alan söker vi ett varmt välkomnande evighetshem där han ges stjärnstatus – vilket han kommer att gilla. Hemmet ska vara lite lugnare beläget med härliga naturområden nära då Alan kommer att stortrivas i våra marker. En hundkamrat ( får det bli Kimi har vi ett fint erbjudande ) vore roligt då Alan trivs i hundsällskap och får då även en mentor i det nya livet. Finns katt är det ok. Viktigt – Alan har vuxit upp i en skyddad miljö bakom höga murar. Han får aldrig pressas där han känner sig osäker – i nya miljöer eller bland nya människor. BakgrundMamma Regina höll till vid kärnkraftverket i Cernavoda, en populär plats för hemlösa hundar. Här har i alla år funnits högt utbildad och även utländsk personal som ofta har en lite annan syn på dessa desperata hundar och ber ofta SaveTheDogs ingripa när någon hund är i nöd. Regina upptäcktes i ett närliggande buskage tillsammans med sina 9 små valpar. Ingen av de små skulle överlevt hade de inte omhändertagi

About Alan

What life with Alan looks like

Alan is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundhjälpen in Stockholm.

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.
