Ella

Female · Adult · 6 years

Ella is a two-year-old girl with a gentle heart and a cautious nature. She has not had the opportunity to become truly worldly, so everyday life can feel big and difficult at first. Sudden noises, sudden movements or new environments can make her unsure, and when she gets scared, her first instinct is to try to get away. Therefore, it's important to always focus on safety. At the same time, there is a fine sensitivity in Ella. She seeks out those she trusts and takes small but important steps forward when she has time to feel safe. She is not a dog that jumps into new situations, but with the right person by her side, she has good conditions for developing. For those who appreciate small progress and the joy of building a relationship from scratch, Ella can become a very special companion. Ella needs to spend a lot of time with her new family. She will not feel at home from day one and needs to settle down in peace and quiet, without any high expectations. A predictable daily routine and a calm pace is what makes her feel best. Training with Ella is not about performance but about creating security and giving her positive experiences. There will be days when everything feels easy and days when she needs to take a step back, and that's a natural part of her development. Those who open up their home for Ella need to have patience and understanding that her progress happens in small steps. With time, presence and secure support, there are all possibilities to see her self-confidence grow. We are looking for a quiet and safe home where Ella can live a peaceful life without high demands or expectations. She would thrive best in a quieter environment, preferably in the countryside or in an area where the pace is low and the impressions do not become overwhelming. Her future person needs to have plenty of time and want to put energy into helping her feel secure in everyday life. It's an advantage if you have experience with dogs that can be a bit shy or cautious at first and understand that a close relationship should grow at the dog's own pace. For the right person, it will be very nice to follow Ella's journey and see her dare a little more every day. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how your daily life and plans match with a dog's needs. This helps both you and us find the right match and give the dog a secure home. You need to do the test before you can submit your interest form.

En försiktig och kärvänlig tjej söker ett hem Ella är en två år gammal tjej med ett mjukt hjärta och en härlig personlighet. Hon är snäll, busig och sprallig, och när hon känner sig trygg visar hon gärna sin lekfulla sida. Hon älskar att använda nosen och skulle med stor glädje få prova på spår eller andra nosaktiviteter där hon får tänka och arbeta. Ella har inte haft möjlighet att bli riktigt världsvan, vilket gör att nya miljöer och ovana situationer ibland kan kännas stora. Hon kan också vara lite försiktig och osäker kring nya människor, men möts hon av lugn, tålamod och positiv energi brukar hon snabbt våga slappna av. När hon väl lärt känna någon är hon en otroligt mysig och lojal vän som gärna vill vara nära. Hon behöver lite tid i början, men öppnar oftast upp snabbare än man först tror och knyter fina band till dem hon känner sig trygg med. Ella behöver ett hem där hon får landa i lugn och ro utan höga förväntningar. En trygg vardag med tydliga rutiner hjälper henne att hitta självförtroendet, och träningen handlar framför allt om att skapa tillit och positiva upplevelser tillsammans. Hon mår allra bäst med människor som har ett lugnt och tryggt sätt. Ella läser av människors energi väldigt snabbt och påverkas mycket av stämningen omkring sig. Ibland kan hon gå upp lite i varv när något känns spännande eller osäkert, men behåller man själv lugnet och på ett stillsamt sätt visar att det är dags att varva ner brukar hon snabbt hitta tillbaka. Hon behöver inga hårda tillsägelser, utan vägledning, tålamod och en trygg person vid sin sida. Hon älskar dessutom att använda nosen och skulle uppskatta spår eller andra nosaktiviteter. Vi söker ett lugnt och tryggt hem där Ella får leva i ett tempo som passar henne. Hon skulle trivas allra bäst i en lugnare miljö, gärna på landet eller i ett område med mindre trafik och färre intryck. Hennes nya familj behöver ha gott om tid och vilja lägga energi på att hjälpa henne bli trygg i vardagen. Erfarenhet av försiktiga hundar är ett plus, men det viktigaste är ett lugnt förhållningssätt och förståelse för att tillit får växa fram i hennes egen takt. För den som ger Ella tid och tålamod väntar en fantastisk vänskap. När hon känner sig hemma blommar hennes busiga och glada personlighet fram, och då får man en kärleksfull, mysig och trogen hund som gärna är nära sina människor och följer med på livets alla små äventyr. 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 Ella

What life with Ella looks like

Ella is a large adult dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An 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.

🇸🇪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 Ella, answered.

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