BENJAMIN

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 16 years

BENJAMIN 42135 (POA) - SENIOR B ENJAMIN 42135 (POA) - SENIOR - male dog, neutered, geb. ca. 2010, shoulder height ca. 50 cm Benjamin (Beniamin) is a male dog who walks well on a leash and still appears quite fit for his age. He is more reserved in dealing with people and lets cuddles happen over him, but shows no great interest in them. He is probably a dog who has never known what it is like to be petted. He is not fond of being touched from above and definitely needs time, calmness, and patience to build trust. One can see that the show situation slightly overwhelms him, as he also does not take treats. In the enclosure, Benjamin lives with female dogs and male dogs, showing a certain dominance. He is more of an introvert and avoids people. He does not take treats, which underscores his independent nature. (06/2025 B/CS)

BENJAMIN 42135 (POA) - SENIOR B ENJAMIN 42135 (POA) - SENIOR - Rüde, kastriert, geb. ca. 2010, Schulterhöhe ca. 50 cm Benjamin (Beniamin) ist ein Rüde, der gut an der Leine läuft und für sein Alter noch richtig fit wirkt. Er ist eher zurückhaltend im Umgang mit Menschen und lässt Streicheleinheiten über sich ergehen, zeigt aber kein großes Interesse daran. Ein Hund der es wahrscheinlich einfach nicht kennt, gestreichelt zu werden. Er wird nicht gern von oben berührt und braucht bestimmt Zeit, Ruhe und Geduld um Vertrauen zu fassen. Man merkt, dass ihn die Anschausituation etwas überfordert, denn er nimmt auch keine Leckerlis. Im Zwinger lebt Benjamin mit Hündinnen und Rüden zusammen, zeigt dort eine gewisse Dominanz. Er ist eher ein Einzelgänger und weicht Menschen aus. Er nimmt keine Leckerlis an, was seine eigenständige Natur unterstreicht. (06/2025 B/CS)

About BENJAMIN

What life with BENJAMIN looks like

BENJAMIN is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Polen in Dierkshausen.

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 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.

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. Hundehilfe Polen 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 — Hundehilfe Polen 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 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 Hundehilfe Polen 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.
