Sarek

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 6 years

Here we have a sprightly Sarek! A lovely girl with boundless energy and a great desire to explore the world. She is an energetic and joyful dog who loves to be where the action is and who appreciates an active life filled with many adventures. In new environments, she can be a bit cautious at first and needs time to observe, get a feel for the situation, and explore at her own pace. When she feels secure, she shows her soft and loving nature. She needs time to adapt to new environments and situations. She does best when she gets the opportunity to take in new impressions at her own pace and build up security without feeling pressured. Sarek has a lot of energy and a natural desire to run and work, but needs to build up her muscles gradually to develop in a healthy and sustainable way. She is looking for an active home that can offer both motion, stimulation, and a life full of shared experiences. At the same time, her new family needs to have the time, patience, and understanding to let her settle in at her own pace. She would like to live together with another secure and stable dog who can give her support and help her feel safe in everyday life. Sarek is looking for a home in a calmer environment and does not enjoy city life. She also does not want to live in an apartment, but would do best in a home with plenty of space and proximity to nature where she can let off her energy and curiosity. 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 secure 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 spralliga Sarek! En härlig tjej med spring i benen och en stor lust att upptäcka världen. Hon är en energifylld och glad hund som gärna vill vara med där det händer och som uppskattar ett aktivt liv med många äventyr. I nya miljöer kan hon vara lite försiktig till en början och behöver få tid att observera, känna in situationen och utforska i sin egen takt. När hon känner sig trygg visar hon sitt mjuka och kärleksfulla sätt. Hon behöver få tid att anpassa sig till nya miljöer och situationer. Hon mår bäst när hon får möjlighet att ta in nya intryck i sin egen takt och bygga upp trygghet utan att känna sig pressad. Sarek har mycket energi och en naturlig vilja att springa och arbeta, men behöver successivt bygga upp sin muskulatur för att kunna utvecklas på ett sunt och hållbart sätt. Hon söker ett aktivt hem som kan erbjuda både motion, stimulans och ett liv fyllt av gemensamma upplevelser. Samtidigt behöver hennes nya familj ha tid, tålamod och förståelse för att låta henne landa och anpassa sig i sin egen takt. Hon skulle gärna bo tillsammans med en annan trygg och stabil hund som kan ge henne stöd och hjälpa henne att känna sig säker i vardagen. Sarek söker ett hem i en lugnare miljö och trivs inte med storstadslivet. Hon vill inte heller bo i lägenhet, utan skulle må bäst i ett hem med gott om utrymme och närhet till natur där hon kan få utlopp för sin energi och nyfikenhet. 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 Sarek

What life with Sarek looks like

Sarek 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 Sarek, answered.

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