Benji

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

BENJI – der Verlassene 🖤 (10/26) Als Nerina ausgereist war, bekamen wir den Hilferuf von Benji. Die Mitarbeiter vor Ort im canile berichten das Benji so sehr weint, seit er sich ohne Nerina im Gehege wiederfindet. Er scheint seine vertraute Gefährtin schmerzlich zu vermissen. Während Nerina () aktuell in Deutschland auf ihr Für-immer-Zuhause wartet, musste Benji erneut zurückbleiben. Wie oft musste dieser hübsche, schwarze Rüde wohl schon Abschied nehmen? Wie oft musste er zusehen, wie andere gehen durften, während er selbst zurückblieb? Wie viele Sommer und Winter schaute er den anderen Hunden schon traurig und sehnsüchtig durch die Gitterstäbe hinterher, wenn sie durchs Tor ins Glück aus seinem Blickfeld verschwanden? Wir kennen seine ganze Geschichte nicht und sie wird auch sein Geheimnis bleiben. Aber wir möchten alles dafür tun, dass sein Warten endlich ein Ende hat! Seine Geschichte soll endlich neu geschrieben werden - bunt, fröhlich, geborgen, geliebt… Dazu brauchen wir eure Hilfe! 🙏 Benji wirkt ruhig, besonnen und aufmerksam. Ein wunderschöner Hund, der so sehr darauf hofft, endlich auch durch das Tor des Glücks zu gehen! Bitte lasst Benji nicht noch einmal derjenige sein, der zurückbleiben muss! Er soll seine Chance bekommen, ausreisen dürfen und endlich bei Menschen ankommen, die ihn nie wieder im Stich lassen. Ein eigenes Körbchen, liebevolle Hände, Geborgenheit und eine Familie, die für immer bleibt – das wünschen wir uns für ihn von ganzem Herzen. 🏡🐾 Benji ist schon lange bereit und wartet – ihr auch? Dann meldet euch bitte! Ihre Ansprechpartnerin für diese

About Benji

What life with Benji looks like

Benji is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at saving dogs e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. saving dogs e.V. 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 — saving dogs 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 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 saving dogs e.V. 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.
