Greyhound · Male · Adult · 5 years

2021-08-05 Age: Male Breed: Greyhound Sex: Male Breed: Greyhound Neutered: Yes Contact person: Team 1. Adoption fee: 7500 kr Forwarded from: K9 rescue Currently located: Rescue in Ireland Can live with dogs: Yes Can live with cats: Not known Can live with children aged: 9-13 years and up Which environment is suitable: Can live in a central location Activity level: Medium Adopter's dog experience: New to dog ownership Bobby, Callum, and Rosie were abandoned by their previous trainer who deemed them unsuitable as racing dogs. They are now at a rescue in Ireland. Bobby had previously had worms but has been treated for this - resulting in him losing weight. Bobby is initially shy when meeting new people. Once he feels comfortable with you, he will come and rub against you in the hope of being scratched behind the ears. On walks with the rescue, he walks nicely on a leash. Bobby loves food and treats - he will therefore likely reach his ideal weight soon. Bobby weighs 31 kilograms and measures 70 centimeters at the withers. Is Bobby the dog missing in your life?

Ålder: 2021-08-05 Kön: Hanhund Ras: Greyhound Kastrerad: Ja Kontaktperson: Team 1. Adoptionsavgift: 7500 kr Förmedlad från: K9 rescue Befinner sig nu: Rescue på Irland Kan bo med hundar: Ja Kan bo med katt: Vet ej Kan bo med barn i åldern: 9-13 år och uppåt Vilken miljö passar: Kan bo centralt Aktivitetsnivå: Medium Adoptörens hundvana: Ny som hundägare Bobby, Callum och Rosie övergavs av sin tidigare tränare som ansåg att de inte dög som kapplöpningshundar. Nu befinner de sig på ett rescue på Irland. Bobby hade tidigare mask men har behandlats för detta – vilket har resulterat i att han har gått ner i vikt. Bobby är initialt blyg i mötet med nya människor. När han känner sig trygg med dig kommer han och stryker sig mot dig i hopp om att bli kliad bakom öronen. På promenader med rescuet går han fint i koppel. Bobby älskar mat och godis – han kommer därför troligtvis uppnå sin idealvikt inom kort. Bobby väger 31 kilo och mäter 70 centimeter i mankhöjd.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a medium-sized adult greyhound dog waiting at Hundar Utan Hem 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 Bobby, answered.

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