Adopt Helix

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Helix is an 11-month-old boy in the middle of his life – full of joy, curiosity, and confident charm. He is a good and happy guy who loves people and enjoys playing and being close. In the yard he happily runs at full speed, but just as gladly he curls up close for a cozy moment. Helix is still young and can be a bit mischievous and test boundaries sometimes, just like a puppy should. He meets the world with an open heart and wants to be where things are happening. With the right guidance, he has all the chances to grow up into a fantastic companion. Helix is at an age where continued training is important, and he needs to practice further on everything that comes with puppyhood – from impulse control to finding calm through passive training. He can become strong on the leash when something captures his curiosity, and right now he finds it difficult to be left alone, so alone training needs to be done slowly and gradually in his new home. Helix has also shown signs of allergies and therefore eats a special hypoallergenic food, which is recommended to continue for his best interest. Helix is looking for a home that understands puppy life – that it can be challenging at times, but also full of love and fun moments, along with a lot of training. He is best suited for someone who has time and commitment to guide him further in life, continue building confidence in being alone, and help him find balance between play and rest. A home where he can run, explore the world, and then land gently on the couch would be perfect. Helix is social with both people and dogs and would love to be part of a community. For the person who opens their heart and home to Helix, he will be a friend for life. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how your daily routine and plans match a dog's needs. It helps both you and us to find the right match and give the dog a safe home. You need to take the test before you can submit your interest application. The price is between 2,500 - 10,000 SEK, depending mainly on the dog's age. A deposit for a "booked" dog is taken from a fee of 2,000 SEK. Guidelines regarding price:

Helix är en 11 månader ung kille mitt i livet – full av glädje, nyfikenhet och valpig charm. Han är en go och glad grabb som älskar människor och gärna delar både lek och närhet. I rastgården springer han lyckligt i full fart, men lika gärna kryper han upp tätt intill för en mysstund. Helix är fortfarande ung och kan vara lite busig och testa gränser ibland, precis som en unghund ska. Han möter världen med öppet hjärta och vill vara med där det händer. Med rätt vägledning har han alla möjligheter att växa upp till en fantastisk följeslagare. Helix är i en ålder där fortsatt träning är viktig, och han behöver öva vidare på allt som hör unghundstiden till – från impulskontroll till att hitta lugnet genom passivitetsträning. Han kan bli stark i kopplet när något lockar hans nyfikenhet, och just nu tycker han att det är jobbigt att lämnas ensam, så ensamhetsträningen behöver ske långsamt och stegvis i hans nya hem. Helix har dessutom visat tecken på allergi och äter därför ett särskilt allergifoder, vilket rekommenderas att fortsätta med för hans bästa. Helix söker ett hem som förstår unghundslivet – att det stundvis kan vara utmanande, men också fullt av kärlek och roliga stunder, tillsammans med en hel del träning. Han passar bäst hos någon som har tid och engagemang att guida honom vidare i livet, fortsätta bygga trygghet i ensamhet och hjälpa honom hitta balans mellan lek och vila. Ett hem där han får springa, upptäcka världen och sedan landa mjukt i soffan vore perfekt. Helix är social med både människor och hundar och vill gärna vara en del av gemenskapen. För den som öppnar sitt hjärta och hem för Helix blir han en vän för livet. 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 Helix

What life with Helix looks like

Helix is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundstallet 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.

Note from the shelter: Has allergies and requires special allergy food. Needs continued separation anxiety training.

🇸🇪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 Helix, answered.

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