Ylva

Mixed Breed · Female

Irresistible Ylva is a gentle female dog born in 2023. Ylva's longing for a family is evident in her gaze. Ylva is a cautious and fearful dog that carefully considers each step in new environments. She has grown up in the kennel with her siblings and has no experience of life outside, which makes her uncertain about people and the world around her. Her greatest dream is to leave the kennel and discover life in a safe way. The family that adopts Ylva needs to be secure, calm, and experienced with fearful or insecure dogs, as well as having plenty of patience and time. Ylva needs support to build courage and self-confidence, and every step forward will be taken at her own pace. She wants to explore environments, scents, and people when she feels ready, and she needs this to be respected completely. Despite her uncertainty, she allows herself to be handled in a gentle way, but understanding, calmness, and experience are required for her to feel real security. Ylva gets along very well with other dogs and would like to live with another secure dog that guides her in everyday life. Ylva is vaccinated, spayed, chipped, and has an EU passport. She has been in the kennel since 2023.

Oemotståndliga Ylva är en mild tik född år 2023. Ylvas längtan efter en familj syns väl i hennes blick. Ylva är en försiktig och rädd tik som noggrant överväger varje steg i nya miljöer. Hon har vuxit upp i hägnet tillsammans med sina syskon och saknar helt erfarenhet av livet utanför, vilket gör henne osäker på människor och världen omkring sig. Hennes största dröm är att få lämna hägnet och upptäcka livet på ett tryggt sätt. Den familj som adopterar Ylva behöver vara trygg, lugn och ha erfarenhet av rädda eller osäkra hundar, samt ha gott om tålamod och tid. Ylva behöver stöd för att bygga mod och självförtroende, och varje steg framåt kommer att ske i hennes egen takt. Hon vill utforska miljöer, dofter och människor när hon själv känner sig redo, och hon behöver att detta respekteras helt. Trots sin osäkerhet låter hon sig hanteras på ett varsamt sätt, men det krävs förståelse, lugn och erfarenhet för att hon ska känna verklig trygghet. Ylva trivs mycket väl med andra hundar och skulle gärna bo tillsammans med annan trygg hund som vägleder i vardagen. Ylva är vaccinerad, kastrerad, chippad och har EU-pass. Har suttit i hägnet sedan 2023

About Ylva

What life with Ylva looks like

Ylva is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rolda Sverige in Södertälje (foster network).

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 Ylva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ylva?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rolda Sverige handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ylva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ylva if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rolda Sverige 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ylva 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 Ylva 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 Rolda Sverige early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ylva 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.
