Om Louie

Female · Adult · 6 years

Louie is a lively, clever and charming tax who will soon turn 2 years old. He has lots of energy and loves to use both his nose and brain, but also appreciates a quiet morning in bed or a cozy movie night on the couch. When Louie feels safe, he is a very loving dog. He likes to greet people he knows well with big kisses and enjoys being close to his family. As a tax, Louie has a strong need for breed-typical activities. He really enjoys tracking, and he also loves swimming. In the woods, he feels most at home, where he is attentive and responsive when walking on a long leash. Even on a regular leash, he walks well. Louie is used to city life and moves confidently among the city's sounds and environments. One of his charming quirks is that he likes to howl in tune with sirens or seagulls, which usually gets smiles and laughter from those around him. Louie is uncertain about new people and doesn't want to greet people he doesn't know. He needs to make contact at his own pace and does best when the environment respects his boundaries and lets him be. In his previous home, Louie felt a need to defend himself when his signals were not understood or respected. Therefore, it is important that his new family has good dog experience and can read his body language, respect his boundaries and have great understanding for why he doesn't want to be petted by strangers. When Louie feels safe and listened to, he is a devoted and wonderful dog who forms strong bonds with his people.

SV·Show original

Louie är en pigg, finurlig och charmig taxkille som snart fyller 2 år. Han har mycket energi och älskar att få använda både nos och hjärna, men uppskattar lika mycket en lugn sovmorgon i sängen eller en mysig filmkväll i soffan. När Louie känner sig trygg är han en väldigt kärleksfull hund. Han hälsar gärna de personer han känner väl med stora pussar och tycker om att vara nära sin familj. Som den Tax han är har Louie ett stort behov av rastypiska aktiviteter. Att spåra är något han verkligen uppskattar, han älskar också att bada. I skogen trivs han som allra bäst, där är han lyhörd och följsam när han går promenad i långlina. Även i vanligt koppel går han fint. Louie är van vid stadsmiljö och rör sig tryggt bland stadens ljud och miljöer. En av hans charmiga egenheter är att han gärna stämmer in med ett ylande när han hör sirener eller fiskmåsar, något som brukar få både leenden och skratt från omgivningen. Louie är osäker inför nya människor och vill inte hälsa på personer han inte känner. Han behöver få ta kontakt i sin egen takt och mår bäst när omgivningen respekterar hans gränser och låter honom vara. I tidigare hem har Louie känt ett behov av att försvara sig när hans signaler inte har uppfattats eller respekterats. Därför är det viktigt att hans nya familj har god hundvana och kan läsa av hans kroppsspråk, respektera hans gränser och ha stor förståelse för att han inte vill bli klappad av främmande människor. När Louie känner sig trygg och lyssnad på är han en tillgiven och härlig hund som knyter starka band till sina människor.

About Om Louie

What life with Om Louie looks like

Om Louie is a large adult 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 Om Louie, answered.

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