Adopt Onice

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Onice (onyx) is a friendly acquaintance. She is not pushy but waits calmly until she gets a sense of the visiting person. She knows the staff well and enjoys their company for a cuddle session. If she gets to list her interests, they include playing with toys, running in the playpark, and taking walks in the surroundings. She is active and happy and appreciates the time the staff spends with her. Onice has a balanced character – where joy and zeal alternate with calm rest or companionship. She builds deep friendships and will become a stable and loyal family member – with a busy glint in her eyes. Onice has spent her entire life with hounds – first with her three brothers, then with another companion and an adult hound. She thrives in company but does not appreciate dominant dogs – they should be happy and playful – and have a good dog language that she herself has. When it comes to walks, she often likes to take a companion – it’s fun to explore and exchange opinions and experiences. Everything should be thoroughly investigated. She has also met some cats but no closer contact has been established. We are looking for a lifelong, welcoming home for our beautiful, night-black Onice where she can become a full-fledged family member. The home must not be in a city setting, and the very youngest children should not be at home. As Onice thrives in nature, the home should also have a great interest in spending time in the woods and fields together. If there is a safe dog at home, Onice wants it to be a rooster – she has always lived with chickens and enjoyed it. To note, she, like many of our dogs, has grown up behind protective walls. She therefore lacks full exposure to the outside world and must never be pressured where she feels insecure – in new environments and before new people. Background: Four night-black, beautiful companions were dumped outside the hedge in Cernavoda at the beginning of summer. They were discovered in the morning near the road where they were running around, scared by passing cars.

Onice ( onyx ) är en trevlig bekantskap. Hon är inte påträngande utan avvaktar lugnt tills hon fått bilda sig en uppfattning om den besökande människan. Hon känner personalen väl och söker gärna deras kontakt för en mys-stund. Får hon lista sina intressen är de att leka med leksaker, springa i lekparken och att promenera i omgivningarna. Hon är aktiv och glad och uppskattar den tid personalen tillbringar med henne. Onice har en balanserad karaktär – där glädje och yra byts mot lugn vila eller samvaro. Hon bygger djupa vänskaper och kommer att bli en stabil och trogen familjemedlem – med en busig glimt i ögonvrån. Onice har hela sitt liv bott med hanhundar – först de tre bröderna, sedan någon annan valp och någon vuxen hund. Hon trivs i sällskap men uppskattar inte hundar som är dominanta – glada och lekfulla ska de vara – och ha ett gott hundspråk som hon själv har. När det vankas promenad får hon ofta ta en kamrat med – det är roligt att utforska och utbyta åsikter och erfarenheter. Allt ska undersökas. Hon har även mött några katter men någon närmare kontakt har inte etablerats. Vi söker till vår nattsvarta, härliga Onice ett livslångt, välkomnande hem där hon får bli en fullvärdig familjemedlem. Hemmet får inte ha city-läge och de allra minsta barnen bör inte finnas hemmavid. Då Onice trivs ute i naturen bör man i hemmet även ha ett stort intresse av att vistas i skog och mark tillsammans. Finns en trygg hund i hemmet så vill Onice att det ska vara en hane – hon har alltid bott med hanar och trivts med det. Att tänka på är att hon som så många av våra hundar vuxit upp bakom skyddande murar. Hon saknar därför helt exponering mot omvärlden och får aldrig pressas där hon känner sig osäker – i nya miljöer och inför nya människor. BakgrundFyra nattsvarta, vackra valpar dumpades i början av sommaren utanför hägnet i Cernavoda. De upptäcktes på morgonen i anslutning till vägen där de irrade omkring, skrämda av bilar som körde förbi. När personalen närmade sig gömde sig

About Onice

What life with Onice looks like

Onice is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundhjälpen 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 Onice, answered.

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