Benji

Mixed Breed · Male

A gloriously silly, affectionate clown ready to bring the full Basset experience to an active home. Meet Benji, a gorgeous 1-year-old Basset Hound who is ready to completely steal your heart. Benji is a big, strong, and wonderfully comedic lad who has had quite a dramatic journey recently, but he is now fully healed, happy and searching for the perfect forever home. He is a brilliant boy who has only ever known kindness in his life and he is absolutely convinced that he is a lap dog. If you love the full Basset experience, including the ears, the charm, the stubbornness and the comedy, Benji is definitely your boy! Benji is a stunning, purebred Basset Hound who comes complete with his full paperwork. He came into the care of Hay Animal Rescue Team due to unforeseen circumstances and has been a very well-loved pet. He is microchipped, fully vaccinated, flea and worm treated, and neutered.

About Benji

What life with Benji looks like

Benji is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hay Animal Rescue Team in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧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.

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. Hay Animal Rescue Team 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 — Hay Animal Rescue Team 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 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 Hay Animal Rescue Team 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 (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.
