Benja

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Ihr fragt euch vielleicht schon, warum die ca. zweijährige Benja auf den Videos kaum zu sehen ist. Der Grund dafür ist ziemlich süß: Benja befindet sich derzeit in Mutterschutz. ❤️ Kurz nach ihrer Ankunft bei uns bemerkten wir, dass ihr Bauch immer runder wurde. Ultraschall und Röntgen bestätigten schließlich unseren Verdacht – und wenig später brachte Benja fünf gesunde Welpen zur Welt. Seitdem geht sie vollkommen in ihrer Mutterrolle auf. Spaziergänge oder eine Runde mit den anderen Hunden am Hundeplatz? Ohne ihre Welpen derzeit eher uninteressant. Benja möchte ihren Nachwuchs am liebsten rund um die Uhr im Blick behalten – in menschlichen Kreisen würde man sie vermutlich liebevoll als Helikoptermama bezeichnen. 😄 Wir sind uns aber ziemlich sicher, dass auch Benja irgendwann wieder genug vom Vollzeit-Mama-Dasein hat und sich dann genauso über ausgiebige Spaziergänge freut wie vor der Geburt. Mit anderen Hunden ist Benja gut verträglich. Katzen findet sie hingegen äußerst spannend und kann sich in ihrer Anwesenheit nur schwer entspannen. Ein katzenfreies Zuhause wäre für sie daher vermutlich die einfachere Wahl. Noch dreht sich Benjas Welt ganz um ihre Kleinen, aber auch diese Mama wird bald wieder bereit sein, ihre eigene Familie fürs Leben zu finden. ❤️🐾 © 2026 by Tierheim Franziskus, , Spenden sind auch via Paypal möglich :

About Benja

What life with Benja looks like

Benja is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Franziskus in Rosental an der Kainach.

An 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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benja, answered.

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