Adopt Marta

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Marta has what might be described as the most "talkative" ears in the shelter – study them and you can "read" her mood. She also has fantastic eyes – in a class of their own beautiful! Marta is a soft and somewhat cautious miss with a soul full of love, a diamond that has yet to find its match. Her days are spent with her siblings, to whom she has a fine relationship. They play and fuss, only to curl up tightly next to each other in the evening. Companionship is important to Marta and there should be canine company in her future home. She has her favorites among the staff with whom she would love to snuggle for a while. The people she chooses are calm in their approach and let Marta set the pace for their relationship. This little miss has so much to offer her new home. She will come when she feels safe to form strong bonds and become a fantastic little companion. Marta has not yet met other dogs, but she has a good dog language and a welcoming demeanor – so without a doubt, she will be able to form fine friendships with other dogs in the future. We believe she will also be a good friend to a doggy cat. To our finest Marta, we are now seeking a home where a slightly more laid-back lifestyle and a quiet home await. No young children. Beautiful countryside areas must be in close proximity – here she will enjoy nature with her people. Marta MUST in the home have a happy and safe canine companion who can be her mentor in the new, unfamiliar life. Note that Marta, like most of our dogs, has grown up behind protective walls and therefore has no exposure to the outside world. She must therefore NEVER be put in situations where she feels insecure – in new environments or in front of new people. Background: In October 2022, it was a black month in Cernavoda. The municipality hired dog catchers to trap the unprotected dogs on the streets – a grim procedure followed by grim detention and a grim, safe death.

Marta har nog hägnets mest ”talande” öron – studera dem och du kan ”läsa” hennes sinnesstämning. Hon har också fantastiska ögon – i särklass vackra! Marta är en mjuk och lite försiktig fröken med en själ fylld av kärlek, en diamant som ännu inte fått sin lyster. Hennes dagar tillbringas med syskonen till vilka hon har en fin relation. De leker och busar för att mot kvällen krypa ihop tätt intill varandra. Kamrater är viktiga för Marta och det ska finnas hundsällskap i hennes framtida hem. Hon har sina favoriter bland personalen med vilka hon gärna myser en stund. De människor hon väljer är lugna i sitt bemötande och låter Marta själv befästa relationen. Den här lilla tjejen har så mycket att erbjuda sitt nya hem. Hon kommer när hon känner sig trygg att knyta starka band och bli en fantastisk liten kamrat. Marta har utöver syskonen ännu inte träffat andra hundar men hon har ett fint hundspråk och ett tillmötesgående sätt – så utan tvekan kommer hon att kunna knyta fina vänskapsband med andra hundar även i framtiden. Vi tror att hon även kommer att kunna bli god vän med en hundvan katt. Till vår finaste Marta söker vi nu ett hem där man för en lite lugnare livsstil och där hemmet är lugnt beläget. Inga unga barn. Härliga strövområden måste ligga i anslutning – här kommer hon att njuta av naturen tillsammans med sina människor. Marta SKA i hemmet ha en glad och trygg hundkamrat som då kan bli hennes mentor i det nya, främmande livet. Notera att Marta som de flesta av våra hundar vuxit upp bakom skyddande murar och därmed helt saknar exponering mot omvärlden. Hon får därför ALDRIG pressas i situationer där hon känner sig osäker – i nya miljöer eller inför nya människor. Bakgrund: Oktober 2022 var en svart månad i Cernavoda. Då hyrde kommunen in hundfångare för att fånga de oskyddade hundarna på gatan – en grym procedur följd av en grym förvaring och en grym, säker död. SaveTheDogs hjälpte så många hundar man bara kunde – de som var sociala och lätta byten – och de som a

About Marta

What life with Marta looks like

Marta 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 Marta, answered.

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