bene

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Bene – a little mole Bene (currently 30 cm at the shoulder and almost 12 kg) was born in April 2025. At the beginning of September, Bene came to us from a Romanian dog pound, together with his little brother Bjarne, and went to his foster home in Gnarrenburg (Lower Saxony). Here, Bene lives together with other female and male dogs, and as the smallest and youngest, he gets along wonderfully. He enjoys playing with his companions and being close to them. Bene is perfectly fluent in dog language and knows how to behave appropriately with other dogs in any situation. Encounters with unfamiliar dogs still need to be practiced, as he simply hasn't experienced them so far. Bene could be introduced to cats who are experienced with dogs. When meeting people he doesn't know yet, Bene is initially shy and keeps his distance. Some time needs to be set aside for getting to know him; then Bene is open and affectionate. Bene loves to cuddle and snuggle very much. Bene is a mole. That's why we also call him Bene Grabowski. He absolutely loves digging holes and has a very dense, short, mole-like coat. Bene has a noticeable underbite. His build is rather delicate, with a small, rounded head. We expect Bene will grow to be knee-high at most. It would be wonderful if Bene had a garden or property to romp around and explore, where he could also pursue his hobby of digging holes. Bene responds well to his name; walking on the leash still needs to be practiced with him. He still finds riding in the car frightening, but with some practice he would learn to accept it. Bene is house-trained. Being left alone briefly in his dog group poses no problem for him. Indoors, Bene is relaxed and calm; he still needs to get used to some everyday noises, but he greatly enjoys feeling secure. Bene is a delicate young dog who wants to be guided lovingly, calmly, and clearly by his people. Since Bene is very social and enjoys living with the other dogs at his foster home, we will only place Bene with an existing first dog who can help him settle in and who is suitable as a playmate. Bene is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, has his EU pet passport, has been treated against internal and external parasites, and his blood tests according to the Eastern Europe/Romania profile were without findings.

Bene – ein Maulwürfchen Bene (derzeit 30 cm Schulterhöhe, fast 12 kg) ist im April 2025 geboren. Bene kam Anfang September aus einem rumänischen Hundelager zusammen mit seinem Brüderchen Bjarne zu uns auf seine Pflegestelle nach Gnarrenburg (Niedersachsen). Hier lebt Bene als Kleinster und Jüngster mit weiteren Hündinnen und Rüden prima zusammen und genießt das gemeinsame Spiel mit und die Nähe zu Artgenossen. Bene ist perfekt in Hundesprache und weiß sich in jeder Situation mit Artgenossen angemessen zu verhalten. Begegnungen mit fremden Hunden müssen noch geübt werden, das kennt er bisher einfach nicht. Bene könnte an hundeerfahrene Katzen gewöhnt werden. Bei noch unbekannten Menschen fremdelt Bene zunächst und bleibt auf Abstand. Für das Kennenlernen muss etwas Zeit eingeplant werden, dann ist Bene aufgeschlossen und anhänglich. Bene schmust und kuschelt sehr gerne. Bene ist ein Maulwurf. Daher heißt er bei uns auch Bene Grabowski. Er buddelt für sein Leben gerne Löcher und er hat ein ganz dichtes kurzes Maulwurfsfell. Bene hat einen deutlichen Unterbiss. Sein Körperbau ist eher zart mit einem kleinen Bollerköpfchen. Wir vermuten, Bene wird maximal kniehoch groß. Es wäre schön, wenn Bene einen Garten oder ein Grundstück zum Toben und Erkunden zur Verfügung hat und dort seinem Hobby Löcherbuddeln auch nachgehen darf. Bene hört gut auf seinen Namen, an der Leine laufen muss noch mit ihm geübt werden. Im Auto mitfahren findet er noch gruselig, aber das würde er mit einiger Übung auch lernen. Bene ist stubenrein. Kurzes Alleinebleiben in seiner Hundegruppe bereitet Bene kein Problem. Im Haus ist Bene entspannt und ruhig, an manche Alltagsgeräusche muss er sich noch gewöhnen, aber er mag die Geborgenheit sehr. Bene ist ein zarter Hundejunge, der von seinen Menschen liebevoll, ruhig und klar angeleitet werden möchte. Da Bene sehr sozial ist und auf seiner Pflegestelle das Zusammenleben mit den anderen Hunden sehr genießt, vermitteln wir Bene nur zu einem vorhandenen Ersthund, der ihm bei der Eingewöhnung hilft und auch als Spielkamerad geeignet ist. Bene wird kastriert, er ist gechipt, geimpft, hat seinen EU-Heimtierausweis, ist gegen innere und äußere Parasiten behandelt und die Blutuntersuchungen entsprechend dem Osteuropa/Rumänien-Profil waren ohne Befund.

About bene

What life with bene looks like

bene is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mit Tieren leben e.V. in Germany.

A 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting bene, answered.

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