Mio (26-446)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

A gentle, sweet and easygoing guy who loves being close to his people. With the right person, he quickly shows his soft side. Then he loves to cuddle, especially having his ears scratched! People he knows and trusts usually get to carry and handle him, for example for nail trimming. Even though he is a bit of an older boy, he has energy and a curiosity about the world. We believe that for most of his life Mio was an outdoor dog. He willingly goes indoors but is a little unsure and wanders around, sniffing, and has a hard time settling down completely. The sofa is not yet his favorite spot, but that may be because he has never had the chance to learn how cozy it can be to relax indoors. Mio happily joins calm walks outside. He walks cheerfully and is usually curious about all the scents around him. His relationships with other dogs can vary. Some dogs he ignores calmly, while around others he becomes tense. With cats we have not yet had the opportunity to assess how Mio does in a proper way. Mio is severely hard of hearing and has reduced vision, which may be one reason he sometimes gets frightened by sudden or unexpected events. Mio is looking for a family experienced with dogs who lives in a quiet area. He can become stressed by traffic and cars, so he does best outside the city. It is important to be patient with his adjustment to his new home and to be able to offer him a safe environment both indoors and outdoors. Mio dreams of a family with a calm lifestyle, for example retirees with a garden where he can learn to find his way at his own pace. He would think it was cozy to be part of puttering in the garden, ambling around on walks in a more rural setting, and above all to have someone who enjoys cuddling and petting him. Another canine companion could possibly work if it matches Mio's need for calm, but we also believe Mio is an excellent fit as the only dog. Would you like to give Mio the feeling of security he is looking for, so he can finally truly relax?

En kelig, snäll och följsam kille som älskar att vara nära sina människor. Med rätt person visar han snabbt sin mjuka sida. Då älskar han att gosa, särskilt att bli kliad bakom öronen! Människor som han känner och litar på brukar få bära och hantera honom, exempelvis vid kloklippning. Även om han är en lite äldre kille så har han energi och en nyfikenhet på världen. Vi tror att Mio under större delen av sitt liv varit en utomhushund. Han går gärna in men är lite osäker och går runt, nosar och har svårt att komma till ro helt. Soffan är ännu inte hans favoritplats, men det kan bero på att han aldrig fått möjlighet att lära sig hur mysigt det kan vara att koppla av i en inomhusmiljö. Mio följer gärna med ut på lugna promenader. Han går glatt och brukar vara nyfiken på alla dofter omkring honom. Hans relationer till andra hundar kan variera. Vissa hundar ignorerar han lugnt, medan han blir spänd kring andra. Med katter har vi ännu inte haft möjlighet att bedöma hur Mio fungerar på ett ordentligt sätt. Mio är kraftigt hörselskadad och har nedsatt syn, vilket kan vara en anledning till att han ibland blir rädd av plötsliga eller oväntade händelser. Mio söker en hundvan familj som bor i ett lungare område. Han kan bli stressad av trafik och bilar så därför trivs han bäst utanför stan. Det är viktigt att ha tålamod med hans anpassning till sitt nya hem och att kunna erbjuda honom en säker miljö både inomhus och utomhus. Mio drömmer om en familj med en lugn livsstil, exempelvis hos pensionärer med en trädgård där han i sin egen takt kan lära sig att hitta. Han skulle tycka att det var mysigt att få vara med och pyssla i trädgården, lufsa runt på promenader i en lantligare miljö och framför allt ha någon som tycker om att gosa och klappa honom. En annan hundkompis skulle nog kunna fungera om den matchar Mios behov av lugn, men vi tror samtidigt att Mio passar utmärkt som ensamhund. Vill du/ni ge Mio den känsla av trygghet som han söker, så han äntligen kan slappna av på riktigt?

About Mio (26-446)

What life with Mio (26-446) looks like

Mio (26-446) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Amazing Friends in Säter.

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 Mio (26-446), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mio (26-446)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Amazing Friends handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mio (26-446) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mio (26-446) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Amazing Friends 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mio (26-446) 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 Mio (26-446) 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 Amazing Friends early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mio (26-446) 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.
