Adopt Kimba

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Kimba is a special dog and has been actively worked with for several months. Many would have given up – but they knew that in this abused body lay a surrendered, warm little canine heart. SaveTheDogs performed yet another miracle. Kimba is now a happy and friendly dog who loves all the kind people she knows. She is attentive and responsive – and enjoys shared activities. The walks are heartwarming as one sees Kimba relax and calmly explore all the scents or just stroll on and enjoy the spring winds. She loves her toys – to roll balls, to fetch things and show off or just gather them and guard them. She is clever and active – and very fast. If Kimba gets to choose, her favorite people are probably more fun than her canine companions. She has been presented to several of the other rescued dogs and is currently stressed by those who are pushy and hyperactive. Kimba wants other dogs to be calm and safe. She is now best friends with HH Diego, a kind, slightly older boy who supports her when needed. She has also met some of the shelter’s cats and shown a bit of an “active” interest – which means that for her own sake, she will likely not have a cat in her new home – a stress factor. For our dearest Kimba, we are now seeking a special home where she can have full safety and an abundance of love. The home should be in a calm location and in close proximity to fine walking areas. The household lifestyle should be calm, but you should enjoy being active out in the fields as this is a great interest and joy for Kimba. No young children in the household. If there is a dog, it must be stable and friendly – and of similar or larger size. Note that Kimba’s background is dramatic and you must be able to protect her from people who are too pushy and loud. Kimba should never have to be afraid again! BackgroundKimba became a national scandal in Romania in December. She was severely abused by her owner who did not know he was being filmed by a traffic surveillance camera.

Kimba är en speciell hund och man har aktivt arbetat med henne i flera månader. Många skulle ha gett upp – men man visste att i denna så misshandlade kropp klappade ett övergivet, varmt litet hundhjärta. SaveTheDogs utförde ännu ett mirakel. Kimba är idag en glad och vänlig hund som älskar alla snälla människor hon känner. Hon är uppmärksam och lyhörd – och tycker om gemensamma aktiviteter. Promenaderna är hjärtevärmande då man ser Kimba slappna av och lugnt utforska alla dofter eller bara strosa på och njuta av vårvindarna. Hon älskar sina leksaker – att rulla boll, att hämta saker och visa upp eller bara samla ihop dem och vakta dem. Hon är pigg och aktiv – och väldigt snabb. Får Kimba välja så är nog favoritpersonerna roligare än hundkamraterna. Hon har presenterats för flera av de andra omhändertagna hundarna och blir i dagsläget stressad av de som är framfusiga och yviga. Kimba vill att andra hundar ska vara lugna och trygga. Hon är idag bästa vän med HH Diego, en snäll, lite äldre hane som stöttar när det behövs. Hon har också träffat några av hägnets katter och visat ett lite för ”aktivt” intresse – vilket gör att för hennes egen skull ska hon nog slippa katt i sitt nya hem – en stressfaktor. Till vår allra käraste Kimba söker vi nu ett speciellt hem där hon får fullständig trygghet och kärlek i överflöd. Hemmet ska vara lugnt beläget och i anslutning till fina strövområden. Hemmavid ska livsstilen vara lugn men du bör trivas med att vara aktiv ute i markerna då detta är ett stort intresse och nöje för Kimba. Inga unga barn hemmavid. Finns hund måste den vara stabil och vänlig – och i liknande storlek eller större. Obs att Kimbas bakgrund är dramatisk och att du måste kunna skydda henne från människor som är alltför yviga och högljudda. Kimba ska aldrig mer behöva vara rädd! BakgrundKimba blev rikskänd i Rumänien i december. Hon misshandlades mycket svårt av sin ägare som inte visste att han filmades av en trafikövervakningskamera. Människor och djurrättsorga

About Kimba

What life with Kimba looks like

Kimba is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundhjälpen 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.

🇸🇪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 Kimba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kimba?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundhjälpen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kimba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kimba if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundhjälpen 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 Kimba 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 Kimba 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 Hundhjälpen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kimba 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.
