How do I contact the shelter about Rufus?

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 Rufus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rufus 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Rufus 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 Rufus 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 Rufus 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.

Adoptionsavgift: 7500 kr Förmedlad från: Hem i Sverige Befinner sig nu: I sin familj i Borlänge Kan bo med hundar: Nej Kan bo med katt: Nej Kan bo med barn i åldern: Ska enbart bo med vuxna Vilken miljö passar: Kan bo i lugnare område Aktivitetsnivå: Låg-medium Adoptörens hundvana: Har hundvana sen tidigare Rufus är en liten hund med stor personlighet som söker ett nytt kärleksfullt hem. Rufus matte berättar: ”Rufus kom till mig 2019 efter att han hittats lösspringande av polisen. Han var chipmärkt men ingen ägare kunde hittas. Rufus är en mycket kärleksfull och mysig hund med personer han litar på. Han lär sig lätt nya saker och tycker om nosaktivering och promenader. Han följer gärna med på till exempel café. Han fäller inte päls men behöver regelbunden pälsvård för att undvika tovor. DNA-test visar att han har flera raser i sig, bland annat yorkshireterrier och chihuahua. Vid hundmöten är han nyfiken och det händer att han skäller för att få hälsa. Katter tycker han inte om. Rufus är osäker med nya människor och behöver utrymme och förståelse. Han kan vilja närma sig, men det betyder inte att han vill bli klappad. Vid besök i hemmet larmar han och springer fram. Rufus bor idag med tre barn. Det fungerar eftersom han känner dem väl, men han skulle trivas mycket bättre i ett mer stillsamt hem utan barn, barnens kompisar och andra besök. Rufus är värd det bästa, ett lugnt hem med mycket tid för bara honom.” Rufus är cirka 25 centimeter i mankhöjd och väger 3 kilo. Tror du att du kan vara rätt för lilla Rufus?

About Rufus

What life with Rufus looks like

Rufus is a medium-sized adult yorkshire terrier 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.
