Adopt Malik

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Malik lived in a group of dogs on the street with his mother and siblings. In the surroundings, there were some kind people who used to feed them. When Malik was around three months old, things went very badly. He was hit by a car and sustained a serious tibia fracture. Fortunately, the people noticed this on the same day and promptly called SaveTheDogs for help. Malik was so scared by the incident that he fell off a cliff – but he was quickly rescued from there. Due to the nature of the injury, he received help at a specialist clinic in the capital city and is now fully recovered. During the long time spent at the clinic, he made many friends among the staff, who still greet him with joy today. Malik was lucky in life, as he was not only saved but also managed to keep his injured leg. Now, it's time to start enjoying the best a dog's life has to offer. We are happy to be able to offer this wonderful little boy a place in our adoption program! Malik is an incredibly rare lad with a sensitive soul. Early in life, he was exposed to trials but here, he fought with great courage. He has now opened up for friendship with several members of the staff, and they are well aware of his great need for closeness – to calm and kind people. Malik enjoys gentle petting and listens intently when one talks to him. With his help, he has a secure and stable guide who does everything to show him how to behave in different situations. She accompanies him on his walks and there are times he loves. One can clearly see how he enjoys snuffling around on the ground full of exciting scents. With his companion, he sometimes forgets his serious side and can suddenly bound around in sheer joy. Malik has so much to offer – everything is there – he just needs to discover his potential in peace and without pressure. To our wonderful Malik, we are now seeking a loving forever home where he can begin his journey to becoming someone's very best friend. The home should be in a quiet location – preferably a rural environment. No young children.

Malik levde i en grupp hundar på gatan tillsammans med sin mamma och sina syskon. I omgivningen fanns några snälla människor som brukade mata dem. När Malik var ca 3 månader gammal gick det riktigt illa. Han blev påkörd av en bil och fick en allvarlig lårbensfraktur. Tack och lov såg människorna detta samma dag och ringde prompt till SaveTheDogs för att få hjälp. Malik blev så skrämd av pådraget att han ramlade nerför en klippa – men han kunde snabbt räddas därifrån. P g av skadans karaktär fick han hjälp vid en specialistklinik i huvudstaden och är idag helt återställd. Under den långa tiden inne på kliniken fick han många vänner bland personalen som han ännu idag hälsar med glädje. Malik hade tur i livet som dels räddades – dels fick behålla sitt skadade ben. Nu kvarstår att börja ta del i det bästa ett hundliv kan erbjuda. Vi är glada att kunna erbjuda denne underbare grabb en plats i vårt adoptionsprogram! Malik är en oerhört rar kille med en känslig själ. Tidigt i livet utsattes han för prövningar men här kämpade han med stort mod. Han har nu öppnat upp för vänskap med flera i personalen och de är väl medvetna om hans stora behov av närhet – till lugna och snälla människor. Malik njuter av vänliga smekningar och lyssnar noga när man diskuterar med honom. Till sin hjälp har han en trygg och stabil tik som gör allt för att visa honom hur han ska bete sig i olika situationer. Hon följer med på hans promenader och det är stunder han älskar. Man kan tydligt se hur han njuter av att få snusa runt på marken som är full av spännande dofter. Med sin kamrat glömmer han ibland sin allvarliga sida och kan plötsligt skutta runt i ren glädje. Malik har så mycket att erbjuda - allt finns där – han måste bara själv i lugn och ro få upptäcka sin potential – helt utan press. Till vår underbare Malik söker vi nu ett kärleksfullt evighetshem där han får påbörja resan mot att bli någons allra bäste vän. Hemmet ska vara lugnt beläget – gärna lantlig miljö. Inga unga barn.

About Malik

What life with Malik looks like

Malik is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundhjälpen in Stockholm.

An 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 Malik, answered.

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