Adopt Soya

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Beautiful Soya has lived the majority of her life in Sweden. She was brought here from Romania by a private individual along with a few other dogs. Due to family circumstances, Soya was not thriving and was allowed to move on—to a home where there was a total lack of both understanding and ability. Soya would have been euthanized—time was booked only for a few days when we were contacted by the first home that found out about this. Today, Soya is safe at Hundhjälpen and has been able to show her true self. A fantastic and friendly girl is blossoming under the right circumstances! Soya lives together with other dogs and enjoys it. She takes comfort from and socializes with her canine companions—but she wants to eat in peace and quiet without intrusive company. Experiencing wonderful adventures in the outdoors is at the top of her agenda—so the new home must have nice walking areas nearby. Soya likes to sniff around and investigate. At home, she is calm and contact-seeking—sofas are popular. She has lived with a cat before and can certainly do it again under the condition that it is a calm and safe cat that is introduced gradually. We are now searching for a permanent, safe, and loving home for our finest Soya where she will never have to worry about not being able to stay. The home should be in a quiet location, preferably a villa or in the countryside—and you should have a somewhat quieter lifestyle yourself. Understand that Soya has integrity—she does not want intrusive strangers around but is fully capable of deciding for herself if acquaintances should be made. The same applies to strangers’ dogs. Soya finds her safety with calm, adult humans, so if there are children in the home, they should be older, in their teens. A kind and stable canine companion would be appreciated.

Vackra Soya har levt största delen av sitt liv i Sverige. Hon togs hit från Rumänien av en privatperson tillsammans med några andra hundar. P g av familjesituationen trivdes inte Soya och man lät henne flytta vidare – till ett hem där det totalt saknades både förståelse och förmåga. Soya skulle avlivas – tid var bokad endast någon dag bort när vi kontaktades av det första hemmet som fått reda på detta. Idag är Soya trygg hos Hundhjälpen och har kunnat visa sitt rätta jag. En fantastisk och sympatisk tjej blommar upp under rätt förhållanden! Soya bor tillsammans med andra hundar och trivs med det. Hon tar stöd av och umgås med sina artfränder – men vill äta i lugn och ro utan påträngande sällskap. Härliga upplevelser i markerna står överst på agendan – så det nya hemmet måste ha fina strövområden i anslutning. Soya tycker om att snusa runt och undersöka. Hemmavid är hon lugn och kontaktsökande – soffhäng är populärt. Hon har bott med katt tidigare och kan säkert göra det igen under förutsättning att det är en lugn och trygg katt som introduceras gradvis. Vi söker nu för vår finaste Soya ett livslångt tryggt och kärleksfullt hem där hon aldrig behöver oroa sig att inte få bo kvar. Hemmet ska vara lugnt beläget, gärna villa eller på landet – och du bör själv ha en lite lugnare livsstil. Förstå att Soya har integritet – hon vill inte att främmande människor ska vara påträngande utan hon är fullt kapabel att själv avgöra om bekantskap ska göras. Detsamma gäller främmande hundar. Soya finner sin trygghet hos lugna, vuxna människor så om barn finns i hemmet ska de vara äldre, i tonåren. En snäll och stabil hundkamrat vore uppskattad.

About Soya

What life with Soya looks like

Soya is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundhjälpen 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 Soya, answered.

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