How do I contact the shelter about BENIO?

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

Can I adopt BENIO if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt Szczecinek 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 BENIO 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 BENIO 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 Schronisko dla Zwierząt Szczecinek early rather than rehoming privately; they know BENIO 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 (PL). 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.

BENIO

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

BENIO Species: dog Gender: male Date of birth: 2017 Neutering / spaying: yes Coat: white and brown Breed: in the style of a Saint Bernard Size: large Weight: 66 kg Vaccinations: yes CHIP: yes At the animal shelter since: 29/06/2025 Living conditions: house with garden Attitude towards other animals: selective towards cats / selective towards dogs Attitude towards people: positive Attitude towards children: positive BENIO is about 8 years old. He is a Saint Bernard who once knew the warmth of home and the closeness of people. However, fate made him lose all of that. He was alone — without care, without food, growing weaker every day. When he was found at the station in Marceline, he was a shadow of a dog. Exhausted, with wounds on his body, barely able to stand on his legs. In June he came under our care, weighing only 41 kg. There was no rush — just calm, patience and small steps. Treatment, gentle feeding several times a day and time, which began to work in his favor. Day by day, BENIO regained his strength. His coat started to regrow, and the sparkle returned to his eyes. Today BENIO weighs 65 kg. He is a large, beautiful dog with an extremely gentle heart. He knows how to walk on a leash, seeks contact with people and most of all resembles a large, calm bear. The photos below show how much BENIO has changed — from the day he arrived to the present.

About BENIO

What life with BENIO looks like

BENIO is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt Szczecinek in Poland.

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 Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.
