Adopt Anna

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Anna is described by the staff as the rarest dog one can imagine. Her large dark eyes melt all hearts and she has an enormous capacity for companionship – all kind people nearby are welcome to get to know her, gently and kindly. Due to her long time on a chain, she has an extra need for closeness and affection. The most fun she knows is to go on a walk, and one can see that she enjoys taking in the earth’s scents and sniffing around like a true beagle. If it’s really exciting, she doesn’t want to go back to the pen – so be prepared for many lovely hours in nature’s cradle. A few dogs have the ability to make others feel safe – Anna is one of them. She has comforted several sad dogs and is currently extra-mom to a younger male with anxiety issues who had been very withdrawn. She is the only one who has reached him and been able to give him peace. He now imitates her activities and wanders around by her side, snuffling at the same things, and can now also lie and rest in her vicinity – and even gently greet his caregivers. Anna thrives in dog company but wants her friends to be respectful. She is also friendly with cats and can live happily with a cat in her new home. To this diamond in dog form, our Anna, we are now seeking the lifelong, loving home where she can stand in the center. Anna wishes for a home where every day she is invited to have a bit of fun out in nature – and there must be a beautiful sofa where she can relax and just snuggle with her people. She can live with other pets but also wants to live with her people. The home must not be in the city, and you should have plenty of time to spend together. Background SaveTheDogs often visits surrounding villages to help animals in need. In February, they visited the impoverished village of Cochirleni where the standard is to keep dogs on extremely short chains – from cradle to grave. On a village street, they met Anna who immediately came forward and wanted to chat.

Anna beskrivs av personalen som den raraste hund man kan tänka sig. Hennes stora mörka ögon smälter allas hjärtan och hon har en enorm vänskapspotential – alla snälla människor som finns i närheten är välkomna att bekanta sig, mjukt och vänligt. Då hon länge hållits på kedja har hon ett extra behov av närhet och tillhörighet. Det roligaste hon vet är annars att få på promenad och man ser att hon njuter av att på äkta beagle-vis ta in markens dofter och sniffa runt. Är det riktigt spännande vill hon inte gå tillbaka till hägnet – så förbered dig på många härliga stunder i naturens vagga. Ett fåtal hundar har en förmåga att få andra att känna sig trygga – Anna är en av dem. Hon har tröstat flera ledsna hundar och är just nu extra-mamma åt en yngre hane med ångestproblematik som gjort att han varit väldigt utåtagerande. Hon är den enda som nått fram och kunnat skänka honom ett lugn. Han imiterar nu hennes aktiviteter och strövar runt vid hennes sida, snusar på samma saker och kan nu även lugnt ligga och vila i hennes närhet – och t o m hälsa vänligt på sina skötare. Anna trivs i hundsällskap men vill att kamraterna ska vara respektfulla. Hon är även vänlig med katter och kan utan problem bo med en katt i sitt nya hem. Till denna diamant i hundformat, vår Anna, söker vi nu det livslånga, kärleksfulla hemmet där hon får stå i centrum. Anna önskar sig en tillvaro där det varje dag bjuds på lite kul ute i naturen – och så måste det finnas en skön soffa där man kan slappa och bara mysa med sina människor. Hon kan utan problem bo med andra husdjur men även bo själv med sina människor. Hemmet får inte ha city-läge och du bör ha gott om tid att tillbringa tillsammans med henne. BakgrundSaveTheDogs besöker ofta kringliggande byar för att hjälpa djur i nöd. I februari besökte man den fattiga byn Cochirleni där standard är att hålla hundarna på extremt korta kedjor – från valp tills hunden dör. På en byväg mötte man Anna som genast kom fram och ville prata. Hon visade tydligt att

About Anna

What life with Anna looks like

Anna 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Anna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Anna?
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 Anna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Anna 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 Anna 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 Anna 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 Anna 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.
