How do I contact the shelter about Gizmo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundhjälpen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gizmo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gizmo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundhjälpen 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 Gizmo 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 Gizmo 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 Hundhjälpen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gizmo 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.

Adopt Gizmo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Our fine Gizmo is a stylish gentleman who loves his chosen people. If you are a new acquaintance, you simply have to prove how nice and friendly you are. He forms strong bonds and is a generally good-natured and loving boy. Gizmo enjoys shared activities and is very attentive and cooperative when working on small projects. The most fun is to follow scents on the ground – he is a master at tracking with his nose pressed against the ground – and suddenly a little treat is lying right in front of him! He also has an independent side where he curiously explores on his own or just lounges in the grass. Gizmo shares his home with HH Mirela, who is also a beloved personality. She has a harmonious coexistence where Gizmo, who is a very gentle boy, relies on Mirela when something new happens. He has also met several of the shelter’s other dogs and thrives in their company. He then shows off his fine dog language. The other roommates should be nice as Gizmo shows signs of having been attacked by other dogs in his previous life. On walks, he has met some of the shelter’s cats and shown them a certain interest. Given his fine personality, we see it not as out of the question that he could live with a cat. To the charmer, Gizmo is now seeking a safe and loving home where he is welcomed with open arms. The home must not be in a city setting. As Gizmo has a large need for proximity, you should be prepared to spend a lot of time with him. You should also enjoy being out in the fields as Gizmo will become a real forest child who curiously explores all the scents of the forest and meadow. The spot on the couch is given. He would be very happy if he got a canine companion in his new home – friends are important to him. Background Gizmo is one of the few dogs in southern Romania to have a private person genuinely engage with him. He was found at the border with Serbia at the end of last year. A kind man who traveled a lot in his work saw him at a gas station – thin as a rail, bald, and injured.

Vår fine Gizmo är en stilig herre som älskar sina utvalda människor. Är du en ny bekantskap får du helt enkelt bevisa hur snäll och trevlig du är. Han knyter starka band och är en alltigenom godmodig och kärleksfull kille. Gizmo tycker om gemensamma aktiviteter och är då väldigt uppmärksam och samarbetar gärna kring små projekt. Det roligaste är att få följa dofter på marken – han är en mästare på att spåra med nosen pressad mot marken – och plötsligt ligger där en liten godbit framför honom! Han har även en självständig sida där han nyfiket utforskar på egen hand eller bara slappar i gräset. Gizmo delar sitt boende med HH Mirela som även hon är en älskvärd personlighet. De har en harmonisk tillvaro där Gizmo som är en väldigt mjuk grabb förlitar sig på Mirela när något nytt händer. Han har även träffat flera av hägnets andra hundar och stortrivts i deras sällskap. Han visar då upp ett fint hundspråk. Kamraterna ska vara snälla då Gizmo i sitt tidigare liv visar spår av att ha attackerats av andra hundar. På promenaderna har han mött några av hägnets katter och visat dem ett visst intresse. Med tanke på hans fina personlighet ser vi det inte som uteslutet att han kan leva med en hundvan katt. Till charmören Gizmo söker vi nu ett tryggt och kärleksfullt hem där han välkomnas med öppna armar. Hemmet får inte ha city-läge. Då Gizmo har ett stort behov av närhet ska du vara beredd att tillbringa mycket tid med honom. Du bör också själv trivas ute i markerna då Gizmo kommer att bli en riktig skogsmulle som nyfiket tar sig an alla skogens och ängens dofter. Platsen i soffan ska vara given. Han skulle bli väldigt glad om han fick en hundkamrat i sitt nya hem – vänner är viktigt för honom. BakgrundGizmo är en av de få hundar i södra Rumänien som fått en privatperson att verkligen engagera sig. Han hittades i slutet av förra året vid gränsen till Serbien. En snäll man som reste mycket i sitt arbete såg honom vid en bensinstation – mager som en sticka, håglös och skadad. Hans

About Gizmo

What life with Gizmo looks like

Gizmo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundhjälpen 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.
