Harry

Maltese · Male · Adult · 6 years

Harry is a sweet and well-groomed boy looking for a new loving home. His owner says: "I've had Harry since he was a puppy, and he's an amazing little dog in many ways. He's curious, persistent, and energetic, and absolutely loves running with a long leash in the woods or playing. He doesn't tire easily and has joined several hikes. When he feels safe, he relaxes easily and is a real cuddler who likes to be close. Harry gets stressed easily and can find certain things scary, like children, mopeds, dog encounters, and sudden noises. He also becomes uncertain when new people approach or seek contact. As a younger dog, he socialized more with other dogs, but now he has some female dogs he gets along well with. Harry has mild hip dysplasia and lateral patellar luxation. In the spring of 2023, he was operated for patellar luxation in his right hind leg. He needs regular grooming, is used to going to a dog salon, and usually receives praise for his good behavior. Harry is being rehomed due to separation. He's a gentle boy looking for a safe home with clear routines, where he gets support when he feels uncertain and a good balance between activity and rest."

Harrys matte berättar: ”Jag har haft Harry sedan han var valp och han är på många sätt en helt fantastisk liten hund. Han är nyfiken, uthållig och pigg, och som allra lyckligast när han får springa med långlina i skogen eller leka. Han tröttnar inte i första taget och har följt med på flera vandringar. När han känner sig trygg har han lätt för att koppla av och är en riktig mysmästare som gärna ligger nära. Harry har lätt för att bli stressad och kan tycka att vissa saker är läskiga, som barn, mopeder, hundmöten och plötsliga ljud. Han blir också osäker när nya människor närmar sig eller söker kontakt. Som yngre umgicks han mer med olika hundar, men i dag har han några tikar som han fungerar bra tillsammans med. Harry har lindrig höftledsdysplasi och lateral patellaluxation. Våren 2023 opererades han för patellaluxation i höger bakben. Han behöver regelbunden pälsvård, är van att gå till hundfrisören och brukar få beröm för sitt fina uppförande. Harry omplaceras på grund av separation. Han är en mjuk kille som söker ett tryggt hem med tydliga rutiner, där han får stöd när han blir osäker och en bra balans mellan aktivitet och vila.” Harry är 30 centimeter i mankhöjd och väger 5,3 kilo.

About Harry

What life with Harry looks like

Harry is a medium-sized adult maltese 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Harry, answered.

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