Benji

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: männlich Geburtsdatum: ca. 01/2026 Größe: kleinDer inzwischen etwa 6 Monate alte Benji und seine Brüder Jonny und Mickey wurden als Welpen in Bulgarien von einer Tierschützerin gerettet und aufgenommen. Ohne ihre Hilfe, hätten die drei nicht überlebt. Benji ist sehr menschenbezogen und aufgeschlossen. Junghundetypisch ist er lebhaft, neugierig und verspielt. Mit Artgenossen ist er gut verträglich und zeigt sich sozial. Am 27.06.2026 kommt er zu uns nach Heilbronn. Für Benji werden Menschen gesucht, die genügend Zeit und Geduld aufbringen können einen jungen Hund zu erziehen und gemeinsam mit ihm eine Hundeschule besuchen. Eine genaue Beschreibung und aktuelle Fotos folgen in Kürze.

About Benji

What life with Benji looks like

Benji is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

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 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 Benji, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benji?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 — Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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.
