Adopt Maui

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Young · 1 year

Here we have a lively and mischievous guy with a glint in his eye who loves contact and closeness, preferably on the lap and with kisses on the face on a continuous basis. He is curious, treat-motivated and likes to use his nose. He wants to cooperate and learn new things. He is looking for someone who can give him stimulation and support, as he wants to work and be involved. Maui clearly states what he wants, spreads joy around him and fits perfectly for someone who wants a playful, loving and energetic companion. Maui can be a bit wary and sometimes jumps high, and new people or changes may feel a bit strange at first. He knows some simple commands and seeks a lot of contact and security in his human. With time, patience and support, he will really blossom. This star needs an understanding owner who is willing to spend time and energy to build a good relationship together with him. After a fun activity, such as tracking or something else where he gets to use his nose, it's perfect to snuggle up on the couch together and relax in front of a movie or two. We are looking for someone who has experience with his breed, can live with teenagers and preferably lives in a rural area where it is calmer and there are fewer impressions. He should not live with other animals, he thrives best as the only dog in the home where he can be the star in the center. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how your daily life and plans match a dog's needs. It helps both you and us to find the right match and give the dog a safe home. You need to take the test before you can submit your interest application. The price is between 2,500 -10,000 SEK, depending mainly on the dog's age. A deposit for a "booked" dog is taken from a fee of 2,000 SEK. Guidelines regarding price:

Här har vi en livfull och busig kille med glimten i ögat som älskar kontakt och närhet, helst i knät och med pussar i ansiktet på löpande band. Han är nyfiken, godismotiverad och gillar att använda nosen. Han vill gärna samarbeta och lära sig nya saker. Han söker någon som kan ge honom aktivering och stöd, då han vill jobba och vara delaktig. Maui är tydlig med vad han vill, sprider glädje omkring sig och passar perfekt för den som vill ha en busig, kärleksfull och energifylld följeslagare. Maui kan vara lite vaktig och hoppar ibland högt och nya människor eller förändringar kan kännas lite läskigt i början. Han kan några enklare kommandon och söker mycket kontakt och trygghet i sin människa. Med tid, tålamod och stöd kommer han verkligen blomma. Denna stjärna behöver en förstående ägare som vill lägga tid och energi på att bygga en fin relation tillsammans med honom. Efter en rolig aktivitet, som spår eller något annat där han får använda nosen, är det perfekt att slänga sig i soffan tillsammans och mysa framför en film eller två. Vi söker någon som har erfarenhet av hans raser, kan bo med tonåringar och gärna bor lantligt där det är lugnare och färre intryck. Han ska inte bo med andra djur, han trivs bäst som ensam hund i hemmet där han kan vara stjärnan i centrum. 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. Priset ligger mellan 2 500 -10 000 kr, beroende på främst åldern på hunden. En handpenning för en ”bokad” hund tas ut av en kostnad på 2 000 kr. Riktlinjer kring pris: 8 -16 veckor 10 000 kr 16 veckor – 18 månader 8 000 kr 18 månader – 3 år 7 000 kr 3 – 6 år 6 000 kr 6 – 10 år 4 000 kr över 10 år 2 500 kr

About Maui

What life with Maui looks like

Maui is a young adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Hundstallet 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 Maui, answered.

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