Benjamin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Cuddly Leonberger-like mix, 3 months. Benjamin was born in Slovakia in June 2026 and was found together with his siblings. He is meanwhile being lovingly cared for in a foster home in Slovakia and will be ready to travel in October. With his fluffy coat, dark nose, and sturdy little paws, Benjamin visually resembles a Leonberger mix. He is expected to grow somewhat larger as an adult. Until then, Benjamin may continue growing in peace and is being prepared for his journey abroad. He is familiar with life in a home, leash and harness, and interacting with people as well as other dogs. Cats are no problem for him either. Benjamin wishes for people who understand that a puppy brings not only plenty of lovely moments but also a small, active four-legged companion who first has to learn how to live together. House training, leash walking, staying alone, and so on are, of course, still on the curriculum for such a young dog. With loving consistency, patience, and understanding, all of this can be learned together. Attending a dog school would also be a great support for this. For Benjamin, we wish for a loving and, ideally, experienced home where he can grow up protected and find his firm place. Whether it's walks together, small adventures, or cozy hours at home on the sofa, Benjamin should have people who see him not just as a cute puppy, but who look forward to many years together with him and support his development responsibly. A rural home would be preferred for him. Of course, Benjamin is vaccinated, microchipped, veterinary-checked, dewormed, and has an EU pet passport upon departure. Also a

Kuscheliger Leonberger ähnl. Mix, 3Mon. Benjamin wurde im Juni 2026 in der Slowakei geboren und gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern gefunden. Er wird derweil auf einer Pflegestelle in der Slowakei liebevoll umsorgt und ist im Oktober reisebereit. Mit seinem flauschigen Fell, der dunklen Nase und den kräftigen Pfötchen erinnert Benjamin optisch an einen Leonberger Mix. Ausgewachsen wird er voraussichtlich etwas größer werden. Bis dahin darf Benjamin noch in Ruhe wachsen und wird auf seine Ausreise vorbereitet. Er kennt das Leben im Haus, Leine und Geschirr und den Umgang mit Menschen sowie anderen Hunden. Auch Katzen sind für ihn kein Problem. Benjamin wünscht sich Menschen, die wissen, dass mit einem Welpen nicht nur jede Menge schöne Momente einziehen, sondern auch ein kleiner aktiver Vierbeiner, der das Zusammenleben erst kennenlernen muss. Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit, Alleinbleiben und Co. stehen bei einem so jungen Hund natürlich noch auf dem Stundenplan. Mit liebevoller Konsequenz, Geduld und Verständnis lässt sich all das gemeinsam lernen. Auch der Besuch einer Hundeschule wäre dafür eine tolle Unterstützung. Für Benjamin wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles und im besten Fall erfahrenes Zuhause, in dem er behütet groß werden und seinen festen Platz finden darf. Ob gemeinsame Spaziergänge, kleine Abenteuer oder gemütliche Stunden zu Hause auf dem Sofa, Benjamin soll Menschen bekommen, die ihn nicht nur als süßen Welpen sehen, sondern sich auf viele gemeinsame Jahre mit ihm freuen und ihn verantwortungsvoll fördern. Ein ländliches Zuhause würde für ihn bevorzugt. Selbstverständlich ist Benjamin bei seiner Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, tierärztlich untersucht, entwurmt und hat einen EU Tierpass. Auch eine

About Benjamin

What life with Benjamin looks like

Benjamin is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benjamin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benjamin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benjamin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benjamin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Südkreta 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Benjamin 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 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 Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benjamin 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.
