Sixten

Female · Young · 3 years

Sixten must be small in size, but he has a big personality and lots of charm. He is a happy, social, and cuddly boy who loves closeness and will often snuggle up in your lap to pet. Sixten quickly bonds with his people and gets very happy when he recognizes someone he likes. He appreciates both calm home days and active days with walks, nosing around, and social play. Sixten likes to use his head and is very skilled at searching for treats, finding hidden things, and playing with his gosse (playmates). He is curious, smart, and wants to be where the action is. At home, Sixten is a cuddly little buddy who likes to snuggle up among blankets and pillows and find his favorite spots to rest. He is easy to love and spreads a lot of joy around. Sixten is a sensitive and communicative dog who clearly shows when he wants something, like when it’s time to go out. He generally works well in everyday situations and is easy to distract in situations that feel difficult. He can sometimes react to mopeds, motorcycles, cars, or sounds outside the home and has a bit of a guard in him, which can show through barking from, for example, a balcony or window. He also thinks birds are very exciting and might want to chase them outside. Dog meet-and-greets usually go well, even though other dogs sometimes feel a bit rambunctious or very exciting.

Sixten må vara liten till storleken, men han har en stor personlighet med mycket charm. Han är en glad, social och mysig kille som älskar närhet och kryper gärna upp i knät för att gosa. Sixten knyter snabbt an till sina människor och blir väldigt glad när han känner igen någon. Han uppskattar både lugna hemmastunder och aktiva dagar med promenader, nosarbete och socialt umgänge. Sixten tycker om att använda huvudet och är väldigt duktig på att söka godis, leta efter gömda saker och leka med sina gossedjur. Han är nyfiken, smart och vill gärna vara med där det händer. Han är trygg i olika miljöer och verkar inte störas av liv och rörelse ute på promenad. Inomhus vill han däremot ha lugn och ro, det är ett ställe för vila och avkoppling. I hemmet är Sixten en mysig liten kompis som gärna bäddar ner sig bland filtar och kuddar och hittar sina favoritplatser att vila på. Han är lätt att tycka om och sprider mycket glädje omkring sig. Sixten är en inkännande hund som kan vara försiktig i det första mötet, då håller han sig på sin egen kant och väljer istället att pyssla med något annat. När han väl har lärt känna en person ger han sin fulla tillit, är oerhört social och har oändligt med kärlek att ge. Han har under sin tid hos oss bott i jourhem på helger. De berättar att han tar sitt fulla ansvar och kan spana ut från balkong eller fönster för att berätta för mopeder, motorcyklar och bilar att de minsann inte är välkomma in.

About Sixten

What life with Sixten looks like

Sixten is a large young adult dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An young 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 Sixten, answered.

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