Benjamin

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

I-Nr.: r-korfu-benjamin-m-0126 Update Oktober 2026: Wir wünschen uns für unseren Benjamin sehr, dass er noch einmal das Glück hat, die Wärme und Geborgenheit einer eigenen Familie zu erfahren. Er hat einen ganz sanften Charakter und zeigt sich eher unterwürfig anderen Hunden gegenüber. Ärger geht er aus dem Weg - wir können uns Benjamin auch super als Anfängerhund vorstellen, da er einfach keine Flausen mehr im Kopf hat! Er kennt es auch bereits an der Leine zu laufen. Januar 2026: Benjamin und Billy kommen aus dem nahegelegenen Ort Lefkimmi und wurden zu ihrer eigenen Sicherheit im Tierheim aufgenommen. Ihr Besitzer ist verstorben und die 2 waren dann mehr oder weniger auf sich selbst gestellt. Benjamin wirkt auf dem Video von Dezember schüchterner als er ist, vielleicht hat ihn die Kamera etwas verunsichert. Benjamin ist geschätzt über 10 Jahre alt und misst ca. 65cm bei etwa 27kg Gewicht. Wir würden es ihm so sehr wünschen, dass er endlich die Liebe einer eigenen Familie und die Wärme eines kuscheligen Körbchens erfahren darf. Alle Hunde sind erstgeimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Heimtierausweis. 20261005 01 Benjamin Oktober 2026 20260925 11 Benjamin September 2026 20260925 10 Benjamin September 2026 20260925 09 Benjamin September 2026

About Benjamin

What life with Benjamin looks like

Benjamin is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. in Ratingen.

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. Tierhilfe Korfu 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 — Tierhilfe Korfu 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 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 Tierhilfe Korfu 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.
