Inka

Female · Adult · 4 years

A smart and hardworking young female seeking her training partner. Here is Inka - a lovely little worker bee looking for her forever home! This six-month-old mixed-breed dog, with Miniature American Shepherd in her background, is a smart, curious and energetic young dog who loves to be involved. She has great potential, a strong will to learn and a great need to use both her head and body. Therefore, Inka does not fit a sedentary life best, but she needs to feel involved and have a task in everyday life. Training and joint activities will be a natural way for her to release her energy, work ethic and curiosity. With an engaged person by her side, she can develop into an amazing partner to discover, train and learn together with. Inka will require her part of everyday life, but for the right person, she also has a lot to give back. Inka, with her background with Miniature American Shepherd, has a lot of the herding dog's intelligence, energy and work ethic. At six months old, she is in the middle of the transition from puppy to young dog - a period when much happens, both in the body and in the head. It is not uncommon for things that previously seemed obvious to suddenly need to be trained again, and Inka therefore needs a secure, clear and patient person who can guide her through this development and help her find her way in everyday life. She benefits from using both her head and body, and activities such as nose work, tracking, obedience, rally obedience, agility or other dog training can give her a fun and meaningful everyday life. At the same time, it is just as important that she learns to relax. As a young and active dog, Inka needs a lot of sleep and recovery and will need help to calm down after activities. The goal is for her to find a fine balance between activity and rest - to understand when it's time to work and when it's time to take it easy. Inka is looking for a home where she can be an integral and active part of the family's life, together with a person who enjoys training, developing and building a close partnership with her dog. It can be through dog sports, nose work, courses, everyday training or other joint activities - the important thing is that Inka gets to use her qualities, be involved and feel that she has a task. At the same time, her new person needs to understand that a six-month-old young dog still has a lot to learn. She needs time, patience, clear routines and guidance to be able to handle both her energy and her impulses. It is a big plus if you have previous experience with herding dogs or other hardworking breeds; dogs that like to have a task and work together with their person. Above all, we are looking for you who see Inka's potential, want to invest time and commitment in her development and who look forward to building a fine partnership with her. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how your everyday life and plans match a dog's needs. This will help both you and us to find the right match and give the dog a safe home. You need to do the test before you can submit your interest application.

En smart och arbetsvillig ungtik som söker sin träningspartner Här har vi Inka – en härlig liten arbetsmyra som söker sitt framtida hem! Den här sex månader gamla blandrastiken, med Miniature American Shepherd i sig, är en smart, nyfiken och energisk unghund som gärna vill vara med där det händer. Hon har stor potential, en stark vilja att lära sig och ett stort behov av att få använda både huvudet och kroppen. För Inka passar därför inte ett stillsamt liv bäst, utan hon behöver få känna sig delaktig och ha en uppgift i vardagen. Träning och gemensamma aktiviteter blir ett naturligt sätt för henne att få utlopp för sin energi, arbetslust och nyfikenhet. Med en engagerad människa vid sin sida kan hon utvecklas till en fantastisk partner att upptäcka, träna och lära tillsammans med. Inka kommer att kräva sin del av vardagen, men för rätt person har hon också väldigt mycket att ge tillbaka. Inka har, med sin bakgrund med Miniature American Shepherd, mycket av vallhundens intelligens, energi och arbetslust. Vid sex månaders ålder befinner hon sig dessutom mitt i övergången från valp till unghund – en period då mycket händer, både i kroppen och i huvudet. Det är inte ovanligt att sådant som tidigare känts självklart plötsligt behöver tränas på igen, och Inka behöver därför en trygg, tydlig och tålmodig människa som kan vägleda henne genom den här utvecklingen och hjälpa henne att hitta rätt i vardagen. Hon mår bra av att få använda både huvudet och kroppen, och aktiviteter som nosework, spår, lydnad, rallylydnad, agility eller annan hundträning kan ge henne en rolig och meningsfull vardag. Samtidigt är det minst lika viktigt att hon får lära sig att koppla av. Som ung och aktiv hund behöver Inka mycket sömn och återhämtning och kommer att behöva hjälp att varva ner efter aktiviteter. Målet är att hon ska hitta en fin balans mellan aktivitet och vila – att förstå när det är dags att jobba och när det är dags att ta det lugnt. Inka söker ett hem där hon får vara en självklar och aktiv del av familjens liv, tillsammans med en människa som tycker att det är roligt att träna, utvecklas och bygga ett nära samarbete med sin hund. Det kan vara genom hundsport, nosarbete, kurser, vardagsträning eller andra gemensamma aktiviteter – det viktiga är att Inka får använda sina egenskaper, vara delaktig och känna att hon har en uppgift. Samtidigt behöver hennes nya människa ha förståelse för att en sexmånaders unghund fortfarande har mycket kvar att lära. Hon behöver tid, tålamod, tydliga rutiner och vägledning för att kunna hantera både sin energi och sina impulser. Det är ett stort plus om du har tidigare erfarenhet av vallhundar eller andra arbetsvilliga raser; hundar som tycker om att ha en uppgift och att arbeta tillsammans med sin människa. Framför allt söker vi dig som ser Inkas potential, vill investera tid och engagemang i hennes utveckling och som ser fram emot att bygga ett fint samarbete tillsammans med henne. 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 Inka

What life with Inka looks like

Inka is a large adult dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An 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.

🇸🇪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 Inka, answered.

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