How do I contact the shelter about Handsome Jack?

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

Can I adopt Handsome Jack 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 Handsome Jack 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 Handsome Jack 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 Handsome Jack 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.

Handsome Jack

Whippet · Male · Adult · 4 years

Age: Approximately 2022 Sex: Male Breed: Whippet mix Neutered: Yes Contact person: Team 1 Adoption fee: 10000 SEK Mediated from: K9 rescue Currently located: Foster home in Ireland Can live with dogs: Yes Can live with cats: Unknown Can live with children aged: 6-8 years and up Which environment is suitable: Can live in a central location Activity level: Medium Adopter's dog experience: New to dog ownership Handsome Jack had been tied up outside a dog pound. When staff arrived in the morning, he was frozen in the rain in a very poor condition - emaciated, dirty and had several scars on his body. Fortunately, he was able to come to a rescue and is now in a foster home in Ireland, where he is much better. Despite Handsome Jack's past, he is a real lap dog - he climbs onto your lap and enjoys cuddling. Sofa lounging is among his favorite things. He is happy to accompany you on all sorts of adventures - to the café, the woods or just a spin in the car. He is motivated by food and his stuffed animals are highly valued by him. On walks, he walks nicely on a leash with the foster home. Handsome Jack weighs 11 kilograms and measures 55 centimeters to the top of his head. Is Handsome Jack the missing piece in your life?

Ålder: Ca 2022 Kön: Hanhund Ras: Whippet-blandning Kastrerad: Ja Kontaktperson: Team 1. Adoptionsavgift: 10000 kr Förmedlad från: K9 rescue Befinner sig nu: Jourhem på Irland Kan bo med hundar: Ja Kan bo med katt: Vet ej Kan bo med barn i åldern: 6-8 år och uppåt Vilken miljö passar: Kan bo centralt Aktivitetsnivå: Medium Adoptörens hundvana: Ny som hundägare Handsome Jack hade blivit fastbunden utanför ett dog pound. När personal kom på morgonen stod han frusen i regnet i ett mycket dåligt skick – utmärglad, smutsig och hade flertalet ärr på kroppen. Han kunde lyckligtvis sedan komma till ett rescue och befinner sig nu i ett jourhem på Irland, där han mår mycket bättre. Trots Handsome Jacks förflutna är han en riktig kelgris – han klättrar upp i knät och njuter av gos. Att softa i soffan är bland det bästa han vet. Han följer gärna med på alla sorters äventyr – till caféet, skogen eller bara en sväng i bilen. Han är matmotiverad och hans gosedjur står högt i kurs hos honom. På promenader går han fint i koppel med jourhemmet. Handsome Jack väger 11 kilo och mäter 55 centimeter till toppen av sitt huvud. Är Handsome Jack pusselbiten som fattas i ditt liv?

About Handsome Jack

What life with Handsome Jack looks like

Handsome Jack is a medium-sized adult whippet 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.
