For us, the most important part of an adoption is finding the right dog for the right person, but we very much hope people first consider our oldies, or those who would be put down on other farms for medical reasons. These dogs would make strong companion pets and, we believe, have a better life retired to a sofa. Every dog we consider suitable for adoption has spent time indoors and is completely or nearly 100% house trained, and all are open and friendly towards people except the rescued dogs in the 'shy' section.

How it works
Click a dog's name to find out more about them. Within each category the dogs are listed in priority adoption order, and we really do have a 'top priority' list we are trying to home first. Alternatively, scan our QR code for the 'adoption-ready' app, which gives much more information about the dogs. Please send all adoption enquiries by email.
Ready for a sofa
The dogs listed here have worked hard all of their lives and deserve a bit more constant pampering than we can give them in their retirement. Profiled dogs include Bran (born 31 Oct 2010), who ran in lead during his first seasons and was adopted in August 2020; Georgie (born 21 Jun 2019), who came to us as a rescue from Helsinki, originally an Estonian pup; and Anton (born 1 May 2012), the only purebred Siberian Husky at Hetta Huskies.
Practical aspects of adoption
It is pretty easy for anyone living in Scandinavia to adopt one of our dogs. If you want a certain type of dog (one that can run with you, or one that is good with kids), please get in touch — we have other suitable dogs beyond those shown here. For those overseas the inoculations and paperwork are complicated, expensive and time-consuming, but not impossible: we have dogs who have moved as far as Colorado and New York, plus many who have travelled to the UK or Central Europe.
