How do I contact the shelter about Benjamin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club 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 — The Oldies Club 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 The Oldies Club 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 (EN). 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.

Benjamin

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Please help Benjamin by sharing this page! Dear old Benjamin is a 10-year-old Crossbreed boy in the care of Safe Rescue. He's currently in a foster home in Norwich, Norfolk. Benjamin can live with other dogs and cats but wants an adult-only home. Visiting children would be fine for him. He really would like another calm dog friend at home. Benjamin was a long term resident at the Botosani public shelter in Romania until Safe Rescue brought him to the UK from there last year. It has taken a while to peel back the layers of damage done by years in that place and only now can he look for his forever home. Benjamin is a comical old chap with a hint of stubbornness thrown in for comedic effect! He enjoys short walks in decent weather but doesn’t want to go out in the rain thank-you-very-much! He mixes well with other dogs in his foster home but gives the younger generation and their shenanigans a wide berth. Benjamin would like a calm dog in his forever home to show him the ropes. He isn’t overly affectionate with humans at the moment but in a more one to one environment may become more appreciative of them. He lived without humans for such a long time that he learned to live without them…. but that can change with time, love and understanding. NOTE -Safe Rescue have a policy that all dogs adopted from them must wear a slip lead on walks. Please only enquire about Safe Rescue dogs if you are happy to always use a slip lead – extendable leads are not acceptable to Safe Rescue. All dogs have to be collected and a crate must be used. Further details around Safe Rescues rehoming policy can be found here . this lovely chap could be what you are seeking then please do get in touch with Safe Rescue to find out more. ____________________ If you feel you can offer Benjamin the loving home he needs, or want to know a bit more about him, please contract Safe Rescue below Tel/Message: or between 9am-5pm Mon-Fri and 9am-4pm Sat Email: Please say you saw Benjamin on the Oldies Club website.

About Benjamin

What life with Benjamin looks like

Benjamin is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
