Zorba

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Zorba is a curious and lovely girl who is eager to explore the world and move forward. She is treat-motivated and well-behaved, here is a girl who eagerly wants to work together with her human. She walks nicely on a leash and handles meetings with other dogs, bicycles, and people very gracefully. Zorba is forward in her contact with people. She is willing to work and easy to train. " Zorba is a fantastic girl! I have gotten to know her over a longer period and she has made an enormous impression on me. She is a very smart, loving, and warm dog who really wants to cooperate, do the right thing, and be loved. With calm, secure, and clear guidance, she blossoms - and has made fantastic progress during this time. I can attest that I myself would not have hesitated to be her permanent home if I had other opportunities with work, but I am convinced that there is a wonderful home out there that can give her lots of time and love. She loves closeness and cosiness and likes to lie close, both on the sofa and in bed. She sleeps well all night and is not particularly morning active, especially she just wants to snuggle all morning. She has met dog-friendly children, and it has worked very well. It is noticeable that she appreciates them, and she often chooses to snuggle with them on the sofa. She has also been introduced to another dog in the family and it worked well. They mostly ignored each other, lay and slept on the same sofa back and forth, she initiated play a couple of times but he wasn't very interested and she respected that. Dog meetings go very well, but she is very interested in cats, which triggers her guarding instinct, although it is possible to get her attention back. She handles urban environment, walks, public transportation (bus, subway, and train), car rides, and restaurant visits very well. She was stressed and unsure at first in some situations, such as taking the car and public transport, but with support, she has now learned to handle it very gracefully. She appreciates being able to spend time outside in the countryside and especially enjoys a few great walks in the forest.

Zorba är en pigg och härlig tjej som är nyfiken på världen och vill fort fram i den. Hon är godismotiverad och följsam, här har vi en tjej som mer än gärna vill jobba tillsammans med sin människa. Hon går fint i koppel och klarar av möten med både andra hundar, cyklar och människor helt galant. Zorba är framåt i kontakten med människor. Hon är arbetsvillig och lättlärd. ”Zorba är en helt fantastisk tjej! Jag har lärt känna henne under en längre period och hon har gjort ett enormt stort intryck på mig. Hon är en väldigt klok, kärleksfull och varm hund som verkligen vill samarbeta, göra rätt och bli älskad. Med lugn, trygg och tydlig guidning blommar hon ut – och har gjort fantastiskt fina framsteg under den här tiden. Jag kan intyga att jag själv inte hade tvekat att bli hennes permanenta hem om jag hade haft andra möjligheter med jobbet, men jag är övertygad om att det finns ett underbart hem där ute som kan ge henne massor med tid och kärlek. Hon älskar närhet och mys och vill gärna ligga nära nära, både i soffan och i sängen. Hon sover gott hela nätterna och är inte särskilt morgonpigg av sig, allra helst vill hon bara mysa hela morgonen. Hon har träffat hundvana barn, och det har fungerat väldigt bra. Det märks att hon uppskattar dem, och hon väljer gärna att mysa med dem i soffan. Hon har även introducerats till en annan hund i familjen och det funkade fint. De brydde sig för det mesta inte om varandra, låg och sov i samma soffa till och från, hon bjöd upp till lek ett par gånger men han var inte allt för sugen på det och det respekterade hon. Hundmöten går utmärkt, katter är hon däremot väldigt intresserad av, det slår på hennes vallningsinstinkt, även om det går att få hennes uppmärksamhet tillbaka. Hon hanterar stadsmiljö, promenader, kollektivtrafik (buss, tunnelbana och tåg), bilresor och restaurangbesök mycket bra. Hon har varit stressad och osäker i början i vissa situationer, som att åka bil och kommunalt, men med stöd så har hon kommit till att hantera det alldeles galant nu. Hon hälsar att det också är väldigt uppskattat att få spendera tid ute på landet och gärna med ett par härliga promenader i skogen.

About Zorba

What life with Zorba looks like

Zorba is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundstallet 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 Zorba, answered.

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