How do I contact the shelter about Benjamin Bacon?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benjamin Bacon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Benjamin Bacon if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhelfer Ingelheim 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 Benjamin Bacon 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 Benjamin Bacon 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 Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benjamin Bacon and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Adopt Benjamin Bacon

Rhodesian Ridgeback · Male · Young · 3 years

Our "little" Benjamin Bacon is currently on the list of bad luck cases. The removal date was set, and just before what seemed like his lucky day: the rejection. Very unfortunate, as Benjamin Bacon is absolutely not a dog for the animal shelter. BB is super people-oriented with his favorite people; he is an active, clever fellow who loves to use his nose and can never get enough of search and discovery games. Extensive walks, jogging, cycling, or hiking are exactly his world. He would love to be everywhere, puts in all the effort to do everything right, and once you've won his heart, he is a dog to steal. Why "once you've won his heart"? Because BB is not a dog who loves every person immediately. Overbearing behavior is absolutely out of place for him; here, BB rightly demands polite behavior from the stranger and seeks orientation from his human. So far, he has shown himself to be fearless in all situations and to be up for any nonsense. He also shows himself to be largely friendly with female dogs and neutered male dogs, but at times, it also depends on the sympathy. So, if there is already an only dog present, we will tackle the socialization step by step together. We are currently working on leash manners, and here too, he shows great engagement, wanting to do things right. Small children should not live in the new home. In total, BB is a dream dog for active people who prefer to spend their time outdoors in nature. You will find the perfect travel companion in BB. Interested? Then we look forward to your messages in the mailbox.

Unser „kleiner“ Benjamin Bacon reiht sich aktuell in die Liste der Pechvögel ein. Der Auszugstermin stand fest und kurz vor seinem augenscheinlichen Glückstag: die Absage. Sehr schade, da Benjamin Bacon absolut kein Hund fürs Tierheim ist. BB ist super menschenbezogen bei seinen Lieblingsmenschen, er ist ein aktiver, schlauer Kerl, der es liebt seine Nase einzusetzen und von Such- und Entdeckungsspielen nicht genug bekommen kann. Ausgiebige Spaziergänge, joggen, am Rad laufen oder Wandern sind genau seine Welt.Er wäre gern überall dabei, gibt sich alle Mühe, alles richtig zu machen und wenn man erstmal sein Herz erobert hat, ist er ein Hund zum Pferdestehlen. Warum „wenn man erstmal sein Herz erobert hat“? Weil BB kein Hund ist, der jeden Menschen sofort liebt. Übergriffiges Verhalten ist bei ihm absolut fehl am Platz; hier fordert BB zu recht einen höflichen Umgang seitens des Fremden und sucht Orientierung bei seinem Menschen. Bisher zeigt er ist in allen Situationen unerschrocken und ist für jeden Quatsch zu haben. Ebenso zeigt er sich größtenteils umgänglich mit Hündinnen und kastrierten Rüden, bei einigen entscheidet aber auch die Sympathie. Sollte also bereits ein Ersthund vorhanden sein, gehen wir die Vergesellschaftung Schritt für Schritt gemeinsam an. An der Leinenführigkeit arbeiten wir aktuell, doch auch hier zeigt er großes Engagement, es richtig machen zu wollen. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im neuen Zuhause leben. Alles in allem ist BB ein Traumhund für aktive Menschen, die ihre Zeit am liebsten draußen in der Natur verbringen. Ihr findet in BB den perfekten Wegbegleiter. Interesse geweckt? Dann freuen wir uns auf eure Nachrichten im Postfach.

About Benjamin Bacon

What life with Benjamin Bacon looks like

Benjamin Bacon is a extra-large young adult rhodesian ridgeback dog waiting at Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
