Adopt Bertil

Female · Young · 1 year

A social and charming guy who loves being where things happen, Bertil is a 7-year-old French bulldog mix with a lot of personality and a big interest in people. He likes to greet and enjoys contact with the people he meets. In daily life, he appreciates lovely walks and calm, cozy moments at home on the couch with his human. There is an active and curious side to him, and outside he often uses his nose to explore the surroundings and take in all the exciting things around him. Bertil is a dog who likes to be involved and enjoys following what happens in daily life. Bertil finds certain handling situations difficult. Especially nail trimming is something that needs continued training at a calm and safe pace. He needs an owner who has patience and understanding to build trust step by step around such situations. At dog meetings, Bertil may react to certain dogs and lunge, which means he needs a person who is attentive and can help him before he becomes stressed. With the right support and clear guidance, there are good opportunities to continue working on this in a safe way. Bertil is looking for an engaged home where he gets a good balance between activity and rest. He would suit someone who enjoys walks, wants to give him the opportunity to use his nose, and at the same time appreciates a dog who likes to snuggle close at home. A home with clarity, patience, and understanding of his challenges with handling and dog meetings would give him great conditions to continue developing. With the right person by his side, Bertil is a very charming and affectionate dog who gladly wants to be a natural part of daily life. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how your daily life and plans match a dog's needs. It helps both you and us to find the right match and give the dog a safe home. You need to take the test before you can submit your application.

En social och charmig kille som gärna är med där det händer Bertil är en 7-årig Fransk bulldogg-blandning med mycket personlighet och ett stort intresse för människor. Han tycker om att hälsa och söker gärna kontakt med de personer han möter. I vardagen uppskattar han både härliga promenader och lugna, mysiga stunder hemma i soffan tillsammans med sin människa. Det finns en aktiv och nyfiken sida i honom, och ute använder han gärna nosen för att utforska omgivningen och ta in allt spännande runt omkring sig. Bertil är en hund som tycker om att vara delaktig och som gärna följer med på det som händer i vardagen. Bertil tycker att viss hantering är jobbigt. Framför allt kloklippning är något som behöver fortsatt träning med i lugn och trygg takt. Han behöver en ägare som har tålamod och förståelse för att bygga upp tillit kring sådana situationer steg för steg. Vid hundmöten kan Bertil reagera på vissa hundar och göra utfall, vilket gör att han behöver en människa som är uppmärksam och kan hjälpa honom innan han går upp i stress. Med rätt stöd och tydlig vägledning finns goda möjligheter att fortsätta arbeta med detta på ett tryggt sätt. Bertil söker ett engagerat hem där han får en bra balans mellan aktivitet och vila. Han skulle passa hos någon som tycker om promenader, vill ge honom möjlighet att använda nosen och samtidigt uppskattar en hund som gärna myser nära därhemma. Ett hem med tydlighet, tålamod och förståelse för hans utmaningar kring hantering och hundmöten skulle ge honom fina förutsättningar att fortsätta utvecklas. Med rätt person vid sin sida är Bertil en väldigt charmig och tillgiven hund som gärna vill vara en självklar del av vardagen. Svara på frågorna nedan för att få en indikation på hur din vardag och dina planer stämmer med en hunds behov. Det hjälper både dig och oss att hitta rätt matchning och ge hunden ett tryggt hem. Du behöver göra testet innan du kan skicka in din intresseanmälan.

About Bertil

What life with Bertil looks like

Bertil is a young adult dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An young 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 Bertil, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bertil?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundstallet handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bertil on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bertil if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundstallet 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 Bertil 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 Bertil 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 Hundstallet early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bertil 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.
