Benio

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Benio is a medium-sized black and tan dog. He weighs 11.6 kg and is estimated to be around 7 years old, but his slightly worn-out face makes him look older. Benio is a timid dog who needs time to trust, and in fear, he can defend himself with his teeth. This is not surprising, given that his previous owner hurt him. Fortunately, Benio has warmed up to the shelter caregivers, so he can go for walks. We can see that he enjoys walking and handles the leash well. Initially, he stayed very close to people, but recently he has become a bit more independent, exploring and sniffing at a slight distance. Benio still prefers to keep his distance from people he doesn't know. Loud noises and quick gestures make him anxious. He also treats other dogs similarly - he would like to get to know them, but can be scared of too energetic dogs. Benio needs a new home where he can have peace and the presence of new caregivers. Real caregivers who will love and care for him, help him work through all his traumas and make him a joyful, trusting companion for years. Due to his timidity and reactivity, we do not recommend Benio for a home with young children. Benio is registered under the number 13196/162/25. He has been vaccinated against rabies and infectious diseases and has been microchipped. He has undergone a neutering procedure. For those interested in adoption, please contact us at 530-779-523.

BENIOBenio jest czarnym podpalanym psem średniej wielkości. Jego waga to 11,600 kg, wiek oceniono na ok 7 lat, ma jednak nieco poszarzały pyszczek, przez co wygląda na starszego.Benio to lękliwy psiak, który potrzebuje sporo czasu, aby zaufać, a w strachu potrafi się bronić za pomocą zębów. Nie ma się czemu dziwić, skoro były właściciel bardzo go skrzywdził.Na szczęście Benio przekonał się do schroniskowych opiekunów, dzięki czemu może korzystać ze spacerów. Widzimy, że lubi spacerować, a przy tym bardzo ładnie radzi sobie na smyczy. Początkowo trzymał się bardzo blisko człowieka, ostatnio zaczyna być nieco bardziej samodzielny, zwiedzać i węszyć w lekkim oddaleniu. Benio nadal woli trzymać dystans w stosunku do osób, których nie zna. Głośniejsze dźwięki i szybkie gesty wywołują jego niepokój. Podobnie traktuje inne psy - widzimy, że chciałby się z nimi poznać, jednak potrafi się wystraszyć zbyt energicznego czworonoga.Benio potrzebuje nowego domu, w którym będzie miał spokój i obecność nowych opiekunów. Takich opiekunów z prawdziwego zdarzenia, którzy otoczą go miłością i opieką, pomogą przepracować wszystkie traumy i sprawią, że stanie się radosnym, ufnym towarzyszem na lata.Z uwagi na jego lękliwość i reaktywność, nie polecamy Benia do domu, w którym przebywają małe dzieci.Benio zarejestrowany jest pod numerem 13196/162/25. Został zaszczepiony przeciwko wściekliźnie i chorobom zakaźnym oraz zaczipowany. Przeszedł na zabieg kastracji. Osoby zainteresowane adopcją prosimy o kontakt na numer telefonu 530-779-523.

About Benio

What life with Benio looks like

Benio is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla zwierząt Włocławek in Poland.

An 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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benio?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko dla zwierząt Włocławek 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 Włocławek 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 Włocławek 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.
