Benji

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Male, neutered, born approximately 01/01/2026 Podenco mix, height approximately 40 cm / weight approximately 10 kg Shelter location: Refugio Amposta, Spain The young Podenco mix Benji was brought to Monika's shelter on July 1, 2026 from the Perrera in Vinaros. The handsome dog has gotten along well with all his fellow dogs since he arrived. Typical of a puppy, he still has plenty of energy, is playful and carefree. He shows himself open and friendly to people and also enjoys being petted. The handsome Benji should have the opportunity in his new home to move around properly, practice dog basics and get used to environmental stimuli. The youngster carries a significant amount of Podenco in him. Members of this breed may take longer outside to build a good bond with their human and may only rarely be walked without a leash. However, they are real house lovers and very people-oriented inside. If you want to give the athletic Benji a forever home, please contact us.

Männlich, reist kastriert Geboren ca. 01.01.2026 Podenco Mischling Höhe ca. 40 cm / Gewicht ca. 10 kgPflegestelle Spanien: Refugio AmpostaDer junge Podenco Mischling Benji wurde Monika am 01. Juli 2026 aus der Perrera in Vinaros in ihr Refugio gebracht. Der Schönling hat sich von Anfang an gut mit allen Artgenossen verstanden. Junghundetypisch hat er noch ordentlich Power, hat Flausen im Kopf, ist verspielt und unbeschwert unterwegs. Dem Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich offen und freundlich und findet auch Streicheleinheiten ganz ok.Der hübsche Benji sollte in seinem neuen zu Hause die Gelegenheit bekommen sich ordentlich zu bewegen, das Hunde 1x1 zu üben und Umweltreize kennenzulernen. Der Jungspund trägt einen ordentlichen Anteil Podenco in sich. Angehörige dieser Rasse brauchen draussen evtl. länger bis sie eine gute Bindung zu ihrem Menschen aufbauen und können unter Umständen nur selten ohne Schleppleine geführt werden. Dafür sind sie im Haus echte Geniesser und sehr menschenbezogen. Magst du dem athletischen Benji ein Körbchen auf Lebzeiten schenken, dann melde dich doch gleich bei uns.

About Benji

What life with Benji looks like

Benji is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benji, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benji?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benji on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benji if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz 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 Benji 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 Benji 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 ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benji 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.
