Hugo

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Young · 2 years

Meet Hugo, a nearly two-year-old boy looking for his new home. Hugo is a social and friendly dog who loves being close to people and being part of daily life. He is an active dog who enjoys working and using his nose - on walks he is constantly curious about new scents and trails to explore. Hugo is at an age where a lot is still developing, and with the right guidance and training, he has great potential to become a fantastic companion. He is looking for a home where the breed's work drive, curiosity, and sociable nature are appreciated, and where they want to continue building a safe and stable relationship together. Hugo has resource guarding, which mainly concerns food and especially in relation to other dogs. Therefore, it is important that he lives as a single dog in his new home. In some situations, he may also take items from the home that he perceives as valuable and wants to keep them for himself, even against his human. This needs to be handled with knowledge, structure, and continued training. Therefore, it is a big plus if his future owner has experience with dogs that have resource guarding and knows how to work calmly and preventively with this. Hugo may also bark at dog meetings, but this is something that can be further worked on and often can be resolved through distraction and training. He also has difficulties with certain handling and needs continued calm and positive training regarding, for example, nail trimming and other everyday care. As a Cocker Spaniel, he requires regular coat care as well as careful ear care, which is important that his future owner is prepared to take responsibility for. Hugo is looking for a home where he can be a single dog, so he doesn't have to compete for resources and can feel safe in his environment. He would thrive with active and engaged owners who want to give him both mental and physical stimulation, preferably through nose work, training or other activities where he can use his fine nose.

Möt Hugo, en snart tvåårig kille som nu söker sitt nya hem. Hugo är en social och sällskaplig hund som tycker om att vara nära sina människor och vara en del av vardagen. Han är en aktiv hund som gärna vill arbeta och använda sin nos – ute på promenader är han ständigt nyfiken på nya dofter och spår att undersöka. Hugo är i en ålder där mycket fortfarande utvecklas, och med rätt vägledning och träning har han stor potential att bli en fantastisk följeslagare. Han söker ett hem där man uppskattar rasens arbetsvilja, nyfikenhet och sällskapliga natur, och där man vill fortsätta bygga en trygg och stabil relation tillsammans med honom. Hugo har resursförsvar, vilket framför allt gäller mat och främst i relation till andra hundar. Därför är det viktigt att han får bo som ensamhund i sitt nya hem. I vissa situationer kan han också ta föremål i hemmet som han upplever värdefulla och vilja behålla dem för sig själv, även gentemot sin människa. Detta är något som behöver hanteras med kunskap, struktur och fortsatt träning. Det är därför ett stort plus om hans framtida ägare har erfarenhet av hundar med resursförsvar och vet hur man kan arbeta lugnt och förebyggande med detta. Hugo kan också skälla vid hundmöten, men det är något som går att arbeta vidare med och ofta går att bryta genom avledning och träning. Han har dessutom svårt för viss hantering och behöver fortsatt lugn och positiv träning kring exempelvis kloklippning och annan vardaglig skötsel. Som Cocker spaniel behöver han regelbunden pälsvård samt noggrann öronvård, vilket är viktigt att hans framtida ägare är beredda att ta ansvar för. Hugo söker ett hem där han får vara ensamhund, så att han slipper konkurrens kring resurser och kan känna sig trygg i sin miljö. Han skulle trivas hos aktiva och engagerade ägare som vill ge honom både mental och fysisk stimulans, gärna genom nosarbete, träning eller andra aktiviteter där han får använda sin fina nos. Det är ett stort plus om hans nya ägare har erfarenhet av hundar med resursförsvar och vet hur man kan arbeta lugnt och strukturerat med detta. Med rätt vägledning, tydlighet och tålamod kan Hugo utvecklas till en mycket lojal och härlig följeslagare. 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.

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a large young adult cocker spaniel dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Resource guarding behavior with food and objects, needs to be only dog in household, requires experienced owner for 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 Hugo, answered.

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