He can be scared by sudden movements from outside as he was not treated well before. He loves to play with other dogs and his favorite toys. Once he gets to know you, he has a good recall. We are looking for a family to offer Sonny endless love and patience to let him blossom. Sonny weighs 19 kilograms and measures 60 centimeters to the top of his head.

Ålder: Ca juli 2025 Kön: Hanhund Ras: Lurcher Kastrerad: Ja Kontaktperson: Team 1. Adoptionsavgift: 10000 kr Förmedlad från: Paulines Rescue Befinner sig nu: Rescue på Irland Kan bo med hundar: Ja Kan bo med katt: Nej Kan bo med barn i åldern: 6-8 år och uppåt Vilken miljö passar: Kan bo i lugnare område Aktivitetsnivå: Medium Adoptörens hundvana: Har hundvana sen tidigare Sonny hittades när han planlöst vandrade omkring på Irland och var i dåligt skick – han hade en mobilladdare runt sin hals. Han kunde lyckligtvis komma till ett rescue och är på bättringsvägen. Sonny kan vara lite osäker i nya miljöer och i mötet med nya människor – men motiveras av lite godis och blir då snabbt din vän. Han kan bli rädd vid plötsliga rörelser utifrån att han inte behandlats väl tidigare. Han älskar att leka med andra hundar och med sina favoritleksaker. När han lär känna dig har han en fin inkallning. Till Sonny söker vi en familj som kan erbjuda honom oändlig kärlek och som har tålamod att låta honom blomma ut. Sonny väger 19 kilo och mäter 60 centimeter till toppen av sitt huvud. Klappar ditt hjärta lite extra för Sonny? Skicka då in en intresseanmälan. Gör en intresseanmälan Plugin created by Emmaria

About Sonny

What life with Sonny looks like

Sonny is a medium-sized young adult lurcher dog waiting at Hundar Utan Hem 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 Sonny, answered.

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