How do I contact the shelter about Boris?

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

Can I adopt Boris 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 Boris 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 Boris 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 Boris 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.

Boris

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Meet Boris, a sensitive and slightly cautious boy looking for a home where he can blossom at his own pace. Boris is a dog who doesn't rush into new relationships immediately, but needs to build security step by step. He finds it easier to bond with a small number of people than to meet many new people at once. With the right person by his side, someone who respects his pace and gives him space, there is a lot of warmth and loyalty to discover in him. When Boris feels safe, he shows a very nice side; he becomes close, affectionate, and really wants to be with his human in daily life. The dog has undergone a BPH test (Behavior and Personality Description) to provide a clearer picture of its personality and characteristics. When Boris feels uncertain or scared, he may lunge, which is his way of creating distance in situations that feel difficult for him. Therefore, it is important that his new owner can read his signals, give him space, and work calmly and gradually to build his security. Boris needs people who understand that trust takes a long time and are willing to let the relationship grow at a calm pace. He also has a patellar luxation, which is not uncommon in small dogs. Currently, it does not affect his daily life or movement, but it is important to be aware of and take into account in the future. Boris is looking for a quiet and stable home where he can feel safe and build trust in his humans. He would thrive best with people who have patience, understanding for unsure dogs, and who can work with positive and respectful training. A home where there are not too many incoming new people can be a big advantage for him. With the right person, who gives him time and security, Boris has all the prerequisites to develop into a very loyal and loving companion who likes to stay close to his human. 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 secure home. You need to take the test before you can submit your interest application.

Möt Boris, en känslig och lite försiktig kille som söker ett hem där han får tid att blomma ut i sin egen takt. Boris är en hund som inte kastar sig in i nya relationer direkt, utan behöver få bygga trygghet steg för steg. Han har lättare att knyta an till ett fåtal personer än att möta många nya människor på en gång. Med rätt person vid sin sida, någon som respekterar hans tempo och ger honom utrymme, finns det mycket värme och lojalitet att upptäcka hos honom. När Boris väl känner sig trygg visar han en väldigt fin sida; han blir nära, tillgiven och vill gärna vara med sin människa i vardagen. Hunden har genomgått ett BPH-test (Beteende- och personlighetsbeskrivning) för att ge en tydligare bild av dess personlighet och egenskaper. När Boris känner sig osäker eller rädd kan han göra utfall, vilket är hans sätt att skapa avstånd i situationer som känns svåra för honom. Därför är det viktigt att hans nya ägare kan läsa hans signaler, ge honom utrymme och arbeta lugnt och stegvis med att bygga upp hans trygghet. Boris behöver människor som förstår att förtroende tar lång tid och som är beredda att låta relationen växa i ett lugnt tempo. Han har även patellaluxation, vilket inte är ovanligt hos små hundar. I dagsläget påverkar det inte hans vardag eller rörelse, men det är viktigt att känna till och ta hänsyn till framöver. Boris söker ett lugnt och stabilt hem där han får möjlighet att känna sig trygg och bygga upp tillit till sina människor. Han skulle trivas bäst hos personer som har tålamod, förståelse för osäkra hundar och som kan arbeta med positiv och respektfull träning. Ett hem där man inte har för mycket spring av nya människor kan vara en stor fördel för honom. Hos rätt person, som ger honom tid och trygghet, har Boris alla förutsättningar att utvecklas till en mycket lojal och kärleksfull följeslagare som gärna håller sig nära sin människa. 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 Boris

What life with Boris looks like

Boris is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Patellar luxation (kneecap dislocation) - currently not affecting daily movement but requires future monitoring

🇸🇪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.
