How do I contact the shelter about Macho?

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 Macho on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Macho 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 Macho 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 Macho 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 Macho 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.

Macho

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 10 years

Age: 2016-06-23 Gender: Male Dog Breed: Labrador Mix Neutered: Yes Contact Person: Team 1. Adoption Fee: 6,000 SEK Brought from: Home in Sweden Currently Located At: Foster Home in Upplands Väsby Can Live With Dogs: Yes Can Live With Cats: Don't Know Can Live With Children Aged: 9-13 years and older What Kind of Environment Suits Him: Can live in a quieter area Activity Level: Medium Previous Dog Experience of Adopter: New to dog ownership Macho’s owner was moving abroad, and as a result, he was facing euthanasia. The veterinarian who examined him thought he was an incredibly sweet and lively dog for his age—so it would be such a shame if he didn’t get a second chance. Everyone who meets Macho says he’s a real cuddle-bear—kind and confident. He loves people and gets along well with other dogs; he’s used to traveling by car, can be left home alone for a few hours, and easily adapts to different environments. He relaxes easily at home and enjoys going for walks. Most of the time, he walks nicely on the leash, though he can become strong-willed if he wants to rush toward something. He loves children and adores attention and cuddles. Handling and care have gone smoothly. Macho has been to restaurants and behaved wonderfully despite being surrounded by many other dogs and people. He loves swimming and happily jumps into the water whenever he sees it. Since Macho is a real cuddlebug, he needs someone who enjoys having a physically active dog and who isn’t afraid to tell him when he wants petting and affection—because he simply can’t get enough of it! An oldie but a goldie like Macho can brighten up your whole life. Do you want to give him everything he deserves? Submit an expression of interest and tell us more!

Adoptionsavgift: 6000 kr Förmedlad från: Hem i Sverige Befinner sig nu: Jourhem i Upplands Väsby Kan bo med hundar: Ja Kan bo med katt: Vet ej Kan bo med barn i åldern: 9-13 år och uppåt Vilken miljö passar: Kan bo i lugnare område Aktivitetsnivå: Medium Adoptörens hundvana: Ny som hundägare Machos ägare skulle flytta utomlands och han stod därför inför att få somna in. Veterinären som träffade honom tyckte att han var en fantastiskt trevlig hund och pigg för sin ålder, så det vore synd om han inte skulle kunna få en ny chans. Alla som träffar Macho säger att han är en riktig nallebjörn, snäll och trygg. Han älskar människor och fungerar bra med andra hundar, är van att åka bil, kan vara ensam hemma några timmar och har lätt för att anpassa sig till olika miljöer. Han kopplar lätt av hemma och gillar att komma ut på promenader. Oftast går han duktigt i kopplet, men kan kan bli stark om han vill fram till något. Han gillar barn och älskar uppmärksamhet och mys. Hantering och skötsel har fungerat bra. Macho har varit med på restaurang och var mycket duktig trots att det var många andra hundar och människor omkring honom. Han gillar att bada och hoppar gärna ner i vattnet när han ser det. Då Macho är en riktig kelgris så behöver han komma till någon som tycker om att ha en hund som är fysisk och som talar om att han vill ha klappar och gos, då han inte kan få nog av den varan. En oldie but goldie som Macho kan lysa upp hela ditt liv. Vill du ge honom allt han förtjänar? Skicka in en intresseanmälan och berätta mer! Gör en intresseanmälan Plugin created by Emmaria

About Macho

What life with Macho looks like

Macho is a medium-sized senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Hundar Utan Hem in Stockholm.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇸🇪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.
