Bene

Male · Senior · 12 years

Geschichte: Bene lebt bereits seit Dezember 2018 in unserem Partnertierheim APAC in Portugal. Davor lebte er unter schlechten Bedinungen bei einem Mann, der ihn nur an der Kette hielt. In schlechtem Zustand konnte er dort weggeholt werden und musste im Tierheim erst einmal aufgepäppelt werden. Verhalten: Bene ist Fremden gegenüber noch immer sehr zurückhaltend und teilweise ängstlich. Nach seiner Vergangenheit, braucht er lange, bis er einem Menschen vertrauen kann. Doch wenn man sein Vertrauen gewonnnen hat, bindet er sich eng an seine Bezugsperson und möchte am liebsten immer in deren Nähe sein. Bene braucht erfahrene Menschen, die wissen wie man mit ihm umgehen muss und ihm die nötige Zeit geben, um Vertrauen zu fassen und aus sich heraus zu kommen. Mit Hündinnen hat Bene keine Probleme, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie. Im Tierheim lebt er aktuell mit einem Rüden zusammen, was ohne Probleme klappt. Bedürfnisse: Für Bene wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges und erfahrenes Zuhause, in dem er ganz in Ruhe und in seinem Tempo ankommen und Vertrauen fassen kann. Mit Menschen, die ihm keinerlei Druck machen und wissen, wie sie ihn lesen müssen. Sein neues Zuhause muss ländlich gelegen sein und ein gesicherten Garten wäre ebenfalls gut. Schön wäre eine souveräne Ersthündin, an der er sich orientieren kann. Vorhandene Kinder sollten bereits im Jugendalter sein und im besten Falle den Umgang mit Hunden schon kennen.

About Bene

What life with Bene looks like

Bene is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. in Germany.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Tiersinfonie Anou 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 — Tiersinfonie Anou 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Tiersinfonie Anou 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.
