Nanook

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 6 years

Here we have Nanook! He is a happy and charming boy who hasn't had the chance to experience much of the world yet. Despite this, he meets new environments and situations with great curiosity and a desire to explore. He forms strong bonds with his human and appreciates both closeness and shared adventures. Water is something he really enjoys. With his quick legs, energy, and exploratory nature, he is a typical husky who would fit best with someone who wants to give him an active and fulfilling life full of experiences. He needs time to settle into his new environment and build trust and security in a calm and peaceful setting. He does best when he can explore his surroundings at his own pace. He also needs to build his muscle gradually through regular and adapted motion. Long hikes in varied terrain are much appreciated, and he doesn't turn down the opportunity to play, splash, and wade in water, which both stimulates him and provides gentle exercise. He is looking for a home in a calmer environment, preferably in the countryside or an area with proximity to nature and good opportunities for activity. An apartment life would not suit him well. He could thrive with a stable companion who can provide security and serve as a positive support in daily life. Nanook is seeking an owner with previous experience with huskies or other polar dogs and who has a good understanding of the breed's needs for both physical activity and mental stimulation. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how well 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 ranges between 2,500 - 10,000 kr, depending primarily on the dog's age. A deposit for a "booked" dog is deducted from a cost of 2,000 kr. Guidelines regarding pricing:

Här har vi Nanook! Han är en glad och charmig kille som ännu inte har fått uppleva så mycket av världen. Trots det möter han nya miljöer och situationer med stor nyfikenhet och en vilja att utforska. Han knyter starka band till sin människa och uppskattar både närhet och gemensamma äventyr. Vatten är något han tycker mycket om. Med sina snabba ben, sin energi och sitt upptäckarlustna sätt är han en typisk husky som passar bäst hos någon som vill ge honom ett aktivt och innehållsrikt liv fyllt av upplevelser. Han behöver få tid att landa i sin nya miljö och i lugn och ro bygga upp förtroende och trygghet. Han mår bäst när han får utforska sin omgivning i sin egen takt. Han behöver även bygga upp sin muskulatur successivt genom regelbunden och anpassad motion. Långa skogspromenader i varierad terräng uppskattas mycket och han tackar inte heller nej till att få plaska och vada i vatten, något som både stimulerar honom och ger skonsam träning. Han söker ett hem i en lugnare miljö, gärna på landet eller i ett område med närhet till natur och goda möjligheter till aktivitet. Ett lägenhetsliv är inget som skulle passa honom särskilt väl. Han skulle kunna trivas tillsammans med en stabil tik som kan bidra med trygghet och fungera som ett positivt stöd i vardagen. Nanook söker en ägare med tidigare erfarenhet av huskys eller andra polarhundar och som har god förståelse för rasernas behov av både fysisk aktivitet och mental stimulans. 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 Nanook

What life with Nanook looks like

Nanook is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Nanook, answered.

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