Adopt Winona

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

The person who takes the time to get to know the lovely Winona will soon discover her beautiful personality. She is a happy and charming girl who loves playing with her toys or going out for a walk with her sister Scarlett and the guardian HH Mistral. They are a trio who enjoy each other's company and like to do the same things together. None of them dominate; instead, they show each other respect and kindness – as befits the dog world. Having been shy and cautious at first, Winona has developed into a contact-seeking and attentive girl who thrives with her handlers. She enjoys seeking them out and asking for a little chat and play – a moment of quiet reflection. Just like her sister, Winona has a lot of "talking" eyes and conveys her thoughts easily to the staff. Winona's future favorite male companion should be attentive and respectful – and with a great interest in spending time outdoors in the woods and fields. You should guide and reward her – and be her best friend. For the lovely Winona, we are now seeking the loving forever home where she can continue her positive development at her own pace. The home should be located in a slightly more tranquil environment in connection to fine countryside areas where she can daily experience adventures and fun play. Not the very youngest children in the home. Winona who thrives in a dog pack would be happy if there was a sweet dog companion in the home – as a mentor and playmate. We believe she with her soft personality can also become a good friend to a sweet cat. It is important to keep in mind that since Winona grew up in the yard, she has no exposure to society – and must NEVER be pressured in environments, situations, or before people where she feels insecure. Background: Three months old and alone in the world, little Winona and her sister Scarlett were discovered under a parked car near Cernavodas hospital. SaveTheDog was called. It was not entirely easy, but after gentle effort, they finally managed to coax the shy girls out.

Den som tar sig tid att bekanta sig med fina Winona upptäcker mycket snart hennes härliga personlighet. Hon är en glad och charmig flicka som älskar att leka med sina leksaker eller att få vara ute och traska med systern Scarlett och vapendragaren HH Mistral. De är en trio som trivs tillsammans och gärna håller på med samma saker. Ingen dominerar utan man visar varandra respekt och vänlighet – som sig bör i hundvärlden. Från att ha varit blyg och försiktig har Winona utvecklats till en kontaktsökande och lyhörd flicka som stortrivs med sina skötare. Hon söker gärna upp dem och ber om lite prat och kel – en stund för stillhet och reflektion. Precis som systern har Winona mycket “talande” ögon och förmedlar enkelt sina tankar till personalen. Winonas framtida favoritmänniska bör precis som henne var lyhörd och respektfull – och med ett stort intresse för att vistas ute i skog och mark. Du ska guida och belöna – och bara vara hennes bästa vän. Till vackra Winona söker vi nu det kärleksfulla evighetshemmet där hon får fortsätta sin positiva utveckling i egen takt. Hemmet ska vara beläget i lite lugnare miljö i anknytning till fina strövområden där man dagligen kan uppleva äventyr och roliga lekar. Inte de allra minsta barnen hemmavid. Winona som trivs i hundsällskap skulle bli glad om det fanns en snäll hundkamrat i hemmet – som mentor och lekkompis. Vi tror att hon med sin mjuka personlighet även kan bli god vän med en snäll katt. Viktigt att ha i åtanke är att då Winona vuxit upp i hägnet saknar hon helt exponering mot samhället – och får ALDRIG pressas i miljöer, situationer eller inför människor där hon känner sig osäker. BakgrundTre månader gamla och ensamma i världen upptäcktes lilla Winona och systern Scarlett under en parkerad bil nära Cernavodas sjukhus. SaveTheDog tillkallades. Det var inte helt lätt – men efter anselig ansträngning lyckades man till sist locka fram de skygga flickorna. Storögda och förskräckta anlände de till veterinärkliniken där snälla händ

About Winona

What life with Winona looks like

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

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