How do I contact the shelter about Anakin?

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 Anakin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Anakin 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 Anakin 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 Anakin 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 Anakin 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.

Anakin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Anakin is a boy full of love but needs a quieter environment to show his true self. From being a shy, little puppy, he has developed into a real charmer who enjoys socializing with staff. He loves the walks offered and eagerly walks forward to investigate any new scents. He likes to sneak up close to his favorite people to steal a moment of attention and maybe get a little treat. Anakin wants the people around him to be kind and respectful - just like he is. He has grown up with his many siblings, so playmates have never been lacking. With his fine communication skills, he will also be able to form close friendships with other kind dogs in the future. Anakin is very balanced in temperament and can easily switch between wild games and calm rest. He is a kind and peaceful guy and does not want to socialize with dominant or otherwise misbehaving dogs. We believe that with gradual habituation, he will also be able to become good friends with a dog-savvy cat. We are now looking for the loving forever home for our amazing Anakin, where he can continue his fine development and grow up into a proud and confident young dog. The home should be a bit quieter and the youngest children should not be at home. Anakin wants a happy and playful dog companion in his new home - who can support him in his new life and be his friend. As a mom/dad, it's important to remember that he has lived a very protected life so far and therefore lacks exposure to the outside world. He should never be pressured into situations where he feels insecure - in new environments or among new people. Background: Being a dog in Romania is, with few exceptions, a living hell. Unwanted dogs are treated like garbage and cause immense suffering. Anakin and his six siblings were abandoned at a rest stop on a heavily trafficked road. No water, no food, no mom to protect them. The puppies were then

Vår Anakin är en grabb som är full av kärlek men behöver en lite lugnare miljö för att kunna visa sitt rätta jag. Från att ha varit en blyg, liten valp har han utvecklats till en riktig charmör som gärna umgås med personalen. Han älskar de promenader som erbjuds och traskar ivrigt framåt för att undersöka vilka dofter som tillkommit sedan senast. Han smyger gärna upp nära sina favoritpersoner för att stjäla en stunds uppmärksamhet och kanske få en liten godbit. Anakin vill att människorna runtomkring ska vara snälla och respektfulla – precis som han själv är. Han har fått växa upp med sina många syskon så lekkamrater har aldrig saknats. Med sin fina kommunikationsförmåga kommer han även i frarmtiden att kunna knyta fina vänskapsband med andra snälla hundar. Anakin är till sitt temperament väldigt balanserad och kan enkelt växla mellan de vilda lekarna och lugn vila. Han är en snäll och fredlig kille och vill inte umgås med hundar som är dominanta eller på annat sätt beter sig illa. Vi tror att han med gradvis tillvänjning även kommer att kunna bli god vän med en hundvan katt. Till vår fantastiske Anakin söker vi nu det kärleksfulla evighetshemmet där han får fortsätta sin fina utveckling och växa upp till en stolt och självsäker unghund. Hemmet ska vara lite lugnare beläget och de minsta barnen bör inte finnas hemmavid. Anakin önskar sig en glad och lekfull hundkamrat i sitt nya hem – som då kan stötta honom i det nya livet samt vara hans kompis. Som matte / husse är det viktigt att tänka på att han levt ett väldigt skyddat liv hittills och alltså saknar exponering mot omvärlden. Han får aldrig pressas i situationer där han känner sig osäker – i nya miljöer eller bland nya människor. Bakgrund:Att vara hund i Rumänien är med få undantag ett helvete. Oönskade hundar behandlas som skräp och orsakas enorma lidanden. Anakin och hans sex syskon övergavs vid en rastplats vid en hårt trafikerad väg. Inget vatten, ingen mat, ingen mamma som kunde skydda dem. Valparna var då

About Anakin

What life with Anakin looks like

Anakin 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.
