Elmer

American Bully · Female · Adult · 6 years

Elmer is a lively male Pinscher with a lot of personality and even more energy. He is a dog that enjoys being where the action is. He is curious, fun, and highly motivated once he finds what gets him going. He loves to search for treats; his nose is almost constantly in use and he can really get into his search. He enjoys interacting with his human and is easy to engage with when you talk, encourage, and invite him to participate. This is a dog with a lot of dog in a small package, offering both speed, personality, and many laughs. For the right person, there is a fun companion here to build a great relationship with and do many things together. Elmer is a guy who needs a secure and engaged person who enjoys training as a fun part of dog life. He makes moves on other dogs, but it is possible to reach him and help him back to his human if you are one step ahead. Much suggests that frustration is behind some of the behavior, and with the right support, you can go a long way. He also needs to continue training to be calm and secure in different situations. Elmer is not yet house trained and therefore needs help with that training. He also needs to get used to handling, such as nail trimming, which he currently finds difficult and is not used to. This is a dog that needs clarity, patience, and motivation - but he also gives a lot in return. When you find the right way to communicate with Elmer, he is a very nice and engaged dog to have by your side. Elmer is looking for a home where he can be a single dog and have his human all to himself. He does not need to live isolated from other dogs - on the contrary, walking buddies are a big plus and can be a valuable part of his ongoing training around dog meetings. However, he wants his home to be his safe place, without another dog to share everyday life with. We think Elmer would thrive best with someone who appreciates an active and personal dog and who wants to spend time on relationships, training, and joint activities. Experience with dogs with similar challenges is an advantage, especially when it comes to dog meetings and understanding a dog that has a lot of his own will and drive. Elmer needs a person who can be calm and clear without getting stuck in conflicts. For the right home, he is an incredibly fun dog - a little guy with a big personality who likes to join in on life's adventures. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how your daily life and plans match a dog's needs. This will help both you and us to find the right match and give the dog a safe home.

Säg hej till Elmer – en härlig hane med mycket personlighet och ännu mer energi. Elmer är en Pinscher med stamtavla och är en sådan hund som gärna är med där det händer. Han är nyfiken, rolig och väldigt motiverad när man väl hittat det som får honom att tända till. Godissök är en stor favorit; näsan går nästan oavbrutet och han kan verkligen gå in i sitt sök. Han söker gärna kontakt med sin människa och är lätt att få med sig när man pratar, peppar och bjuder in honom till samarbete. Det här är en hund med mycket hund i en liten förpackning, som bjuder på både fart, personlighet och många skratt. För rätt person finns här en riktigt rolig kompis att bygga en fin relation med och göra mycket tillsammans med. Elmer är en kille som behöver en trygg och engagerad person som tycker att träning är en rolig del av hundlivet. Han gör utfall mot andra hundar, men det går att nå fram till honom och hjälpa honom tillbaka till sin människa om man ligger steget före. Mycket tyder på att frustrationen ligger bakom en del av beteendet, och med rätt stöd kan man komma långt. Han behöver också fortsätta träna på att vara lugn och trygg i olika situationer. Elmer är ännu inte rumsren och behöver därför få hjälp med den träningen. Han behöver även vänja sig vid hantering, exempelvis kloklippning, som han i dagsläget tycker är jobbigt och är ovan vid. Detta är en hund som behöver tydlighet, tålamod och motivation – men han ger också mycket tillbaka. När man hittar rätt sätt att kommunicera med Elmer är han en väldigt härlig och engagerad hund att ha vid sin sida. Elmer söker ett hem där han får vara ensamhund och ha sin människa för sig själv. Han behöver inte leva isolerat från andra hundar – tvärtom är promenadkompisar ett stort plus och kan vara en värdefull del av hans fortsatta träning kring hundmöten. Däremot vill han ha sitt hem som sitt trygga ställe, utan en annan hund att dela vardagen med. Vi tror att Elmer skulle trivas bäst hos någon som uppskattar en aktiv och personlig hund och som vill lägga tid på relation, träning och gemensamma aktiviteter. Erfarenhet av hundar med liknande utmaningar är meriterande, framför allt när det gäller hundmöten och att förstå en hund som har mycket egen vilja och driv. Elmer behöver en person som kan vara lugn och tydlig utan att fastna i konflikter. För rätt hem är han en otroligt rolig hund – en liten kille med stor personlighet som gärna hänger med på livets 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. Priset ligger mellan 2 500 -10 000 kr, beroende på främst åldern på hunden. En handpenning för en ”bokad” hund tas ut av en kostnad på 2 000 kr. Riktlinjer kring pris: 8 -16 veckor 10 000 kr 16 veckor – 18 månader 8 000 kr 18 månader – 3 år 7 000 kr 3 – 6 år 6 000 kr 6 – 10 år 4 000 kr över 10 år 2 500 kr

About Elmer

What life with Elmer looks like

Elmer is a large adult american bully 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 Elmer, answered.

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