Indoors she is a quiet and relaxed girl who likes to lie close by on the couch for pats and scratches on her belly. She is very affectionate and often seeks contact by putting her head in your hand. Vicky is polite about food and does not beg at the table. Handling such as nail clipping and brushing works well. Toys do not seem to interest her much, but she loves snow and likes to play in it. She enjoys walks and walks nicely on a leash." Vicky finds water, skateboards and some other objects or sounds scary. She needs support and continued training when meeting dogs.

En riktig kelgris! Ålder: 2021-01-01 Kön: Tik Ras: Terrier-blandning Kastrerad: Ja Kontaktperson: Team 1. Adoptionsavgift: 7500 kr Förmedlad från: Care Rescue Befinner sig nu: Jourhem i Stockholmsområdet Kan bo med hundar: Nej Kan bo med katt: Vet ej Kan bo med barn i åldern: Ska enbart bo med vuxna Vilken miljö passar: Kan bo i lugnare område Aktivitetsnivå: Medium Adoptörens hundvana: Har hundvana sen tidigare Vicky överlämnades till ett rescue av en äldre man som på grund av försämrad hälsa inte längre kunde ta hand om henne. Nu befinner hon sig i ett jourhem i Sverige. Vickys jourhem berättar: ”I början var hon lite försiktig, men hon knöt snabbt an till oss. Inomhus är hon en tyst och avslappnad tjej som gärna vill ligga nära i soffan för klappar och kli på magen. Hon är väldigt tillgiven och söker ofta kontakt genom att lägga huvudet i handen. Vicky är artig kring mat och tigger inte vid bordet. Hantering som kloklippning och borstning fungerar bra. Leksaker verkar inte intressera henne särskilt mycket, men hon älskar snö och leker gärna i den. Promenader tycker hon mycket om och hon går fint i koppel.” Vicky tycker att det är läskigt med vatten, skateboards och en del andra föremål eller ljud. Vid hundmöten behöver hon stöd och fortsatt träning. Vicky väger ungefär 12,5 kilo och mäter cirka 48 centimeter till toppen av huvudet. Låter Vicky som den fyrbenta kompisen du söker?

About Vicky

What life with Vicky looks like

Vicky is a medium-sized adult 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vicky, answered.

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