How do I contact the shelter about ALFRED?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundación Benjamin Mehnert handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALFRED on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ALFRED if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundación Benjamin Mehnert 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 ALFRED 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 ALFRED 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 Fundación Benjamin Mehnert early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALFRED 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 (EN). 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.

Adopt ALFRED

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 17 years

Alfred is a loving but grumpy grandfather, actually a very funny and affectionate dog, but the shelter environment doesn’t suit him. Here at the shelter he has become a fearful old man who sometimes fights back with his little teeth. But when he trusts someone, it’s just lovely. When volunteers take him out of the enclosure to spend time with him in the yard, you can see this little guy blossom and begin to glow. He also enjoys walks very much and, in typical Podengo style, loves to dig and jump after mice. What this grandfather needs more than anything is a family to give him peace of mind. He would be an ideal candidate for leisurely walks and can live with other dogs, although these should not be extremely energetic, as our Alfred is no longer a fast youngster. But that doesn’t mean it’s old and rusty or requires special care. He can still enjoy adventures befitting an older man and wishes to do so. Alfred is almost 12 years old. We know that due to his breed, with its peculiarities, and his age, it will not be easy to find a home for grandpa, but we look forward to senior dog lovers. Alfred is a typical representative of his breed: affectionate, a bit stubborn, with a still active hunting instinct, and would be willing to sell his grandmother for a treat. The winters in the shelter are very harsh and your old bones will have a hard time. We especially ache with each passing day at the shelter for the older dogs. Who has a free place for the charming and grumpy Mr. Alfred? .elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-d9287c9 > body:not(.rtl) .elementor-1075770 .elementor-elementbody.rtl .elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-d70cd24 > .elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-2cedeec > .elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-2cedeec .elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-icon-list-items:not(.elementor-inline-items) .elementor-icon-list-item:not(:last-child){padding-block-end:calc(7px/2);}.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-icon-list-items:not(.elementor-inline-items) .elementor-icon-list-item:not(:first-child){margin-block-start:calc(7px/2);}.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-icon-list-items.elementor-inline-items .elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-icon-list-items.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-icon-list-items.elementor-inline-items .elementor-icon-list-item:after{inset-inline-end:calc(-7px/2);}.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-icon-list-icon i{color:var( --e-global-color-5c52699 );transition:color 0.3s;}.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-icon-list-icon svg{fill:var( --e-global-color-5c52699 );transition:fill 0.3s;}.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-8649845 .elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-1aae122 /* Start custom CSS for text-editor, class: .elementor-element-d9287c9 */.elementor-1075770 .elementor-element.elementor-element-d9287c9 p{ margin-bottom: 0px; }/* End custom CSS */ Granja de la Concepción, s/n, 41500 Alcalá de Guadaíra, Seville, Spain (+34) 954 50 38 41 | Mobile (+34) 616 711 251 Facebook Twitter Instagram INFORMATION My account Donations Services Shop Blog My account Donations Services Shop Blog Subscribe to the newsletter You can unsubscribe at any time.

About ALFRED

What life with ALFRED looks like

ALFRED is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundación Benjamin Mehnert in Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.
