He was then fortunately able to come to a rescue and is now in a foster home in Ireland. Rua first came to the rescue very underweight and neglected. Since coming to the foster home, he has made an amazing journey. He is a lively boy who loves attention from people. He enjoys going for walks and now walks nicely on a leash with his foster home. In the evenings, he takes the best spot in the couch and enjoys cuddling. Rua will be neutered before traveling to Sweden. Rua weighs 20 kilograms and measures 68 centimeters to the top of his head. Does Rua feel like the obvious addition to your family? If so, submit an interest form.

Ålder: 2022-05-01 Kön: Hanhund Ras: Lurcher Kastrerad: Ja Kontaktperson: Team 1. Adoptionsavgift: 10000 kr Förmedlad från: K9 rescue Befinner sig nu: Jourhem i Sundsvall Kan bo med hundar: Ja Kan bo med katt: Nej Kan bo med barn i åldern: 14 år och uppåt Vilken miljö passar: Kan bo centralt Aktivitetsnivå: Medium Adoptörens hundvana: Har hundvana sen tidigare Rua vandrade ensam omkring utan att någon letade efter honom och kom på så vis till ett dog pound. Han räddades av ett rescue och fick sedan komma till ett jourhem på Irland. I september flyttade Rua till Sverige, men söker nu ett nytt hem. När Rua kom till rescuet var han underviktig och misskött. Sedan dess har han gjort en fantastisk resa. Rua är en nyfiken, lekfull, läraktig och vacker kille. Han är lätthanterlig vid kloklippning, är följsam i koppel och sover lugnt hela natten i sin bädd. Han söker gärna kontakt med sin människa och kommer glatt på inkallning i hundrastgården. Han visar intresse för andra hundar och verkar gärna vilja hitta en lekkompis. När Rua blir uppspelt i lek använder han ibland munnen. Han är mycket matglad, så ätbara saker behöver förvaras utom räckhåll. Han gillar Kong och slickmatta och tycker om att gömma sina favoritben. Rua väger 20 kilo och mäter 68 centimeter till toppen av sitt huvud. Klappar ditt hjärta extra för Rua? Skicka då in en intresseanmälan. Gör en intresseanmälan Plugin created by Emmaria

About Rua

What life with Rua looks like

Rua is a medium-sized adult lurcher dog waiting at Hundar Utan Hem in Stockholm.

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 Rua, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rua?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundar Utan Hem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rua on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rua if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundar Utan Hem 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 Rua 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 Rua 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 Hundar Utan Hem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rua 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.
