How do I contact the shelter about Benji?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. animals care - Tierschutz ohne Grenzen 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 — animals care - Tierschutz ohne Grenzen 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 animals care - Tierschutz ohne Grenzen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benji and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Benji

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Benji, a loyal companion, was found alone on the street and brought to our Hungarian partner animal shelter for safe keeping. He came to us hoping to find a loving home quickly. Benji is a very sweet, affectionate, and friendly little dog who initially appears shy and a bit suspicious. However, a few kind words are enough to break the ice. Once he realizes you mean well, he makes friends and wants to be constantly petted and cuddled. He has the potential to become a loyal shadow, following his owner everywhere. Currently, he is diligently practicing walking on a leash. For the little Benji, we are looking for a considerate home, ideally without young children. The handsome dog is, of course, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, examined by a veterinarian, and has an EU pet passport. He will be transferred with a contract only to loving hands. The handover could take place in Berlin or alternatively in the Stuttgart area, provided someone falls in love with him and wants to give him a forever home. For this dream dog, a new home or an alternative foster home is urgently needed, unless a home is found by the next transport. As always, we point out that a dog from foreign animal protection needs time, patience, and a loving arrival. New impressions, new routines, and new bonds should be able to grow in peace. Those willing to take this journey together will be rewarded with a very special deep connection. If you are interested in adoption or for more information, please send us a message.

Treuer Begleiter Benji sucht sein Körbchen Benji wurde einsam auf der Straße gefunden und zur sicheren Verwahrung in unser ungarisches Partnertierheim gebracht. Er kam zu uns in der Hoffnung, ganz schnell ein liebevolles Zuhause zu finden. Benji ist ein sehr lieber, anhänglicher und freundlicher kleiner Hund, der sich anfangs noch etwas schüchtern und ein kleines bisschen misstrauisch zeigt. Doch schon ein paar nette Worte genügen, um das Eis zu brechen. Sobald er merkt, dass man es gut mit ihm meint, schließt er Freundschaft und möchte am liebsten ununterbrochen gestreichelt und geknuddelt werden. Er hat das Potenzial, ein treuer Schatten zu werden, der seinem Besitzer auf Schritt und Tritt folgt. Aktuell übt er bereits fleißig das Laufen an der Leine. Für den kleinen Benji suchen wir ein verständnisvolles Zuhause, idealerweise ohne Kleinkinder. Der Hübsche ist zur Ausreise selbstverständlich kastriert, gechippt, geimpft, entwurmt, tierärztlich untersucht und besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis. Er wird mit Schutzvertrag nur in liebevolle Hände vermittelt. Die Übergabe könnte in Berlin oder ggf. alternativ im Raum Stuttgart erfolgen, sofern sich Jemand in ihn verliebt und ihm ein Für-immer-Zuhause schenken möchte. Für diesen Traumhund wird nun dringend ein neues Zuhause oder ggf. alternativ eine Pflegestelle (Pflegestelle nur Berlin/Umland) gesucht, sofern sich bis zum nächsten Transport kein Zuhause gefunden hat. Wie immer weisen wir darauf hin, dass ein Hund aus dem Auslandstierschutz Zeit, Geduld und ein liebevolles Ankommen braucht. Neue Eindrücke, neue Routinen und neue Bindungen sollen in Ruhe wachsen können. Wer bereit ist, diesen Weg gemeinsam zu gehen, wird mit einer ganz besonders tiefen Verbindung belohnt. Bei Interesse an einer Adoption oder für weitere Informationen schreiben Sie uns bitte eine Nachricht. Kurzinfo Name Benji Rasse Mischling Geschlecht Rüde, kastriert Alter ca. 01.08.2021 Schulterhöhe ca. 26 cm, 7,2 kg Standort Ungarn Herkunft Ungarn Farbe Sonstiges hundefreundlich: ja, familienfreundlich: ja

What life with Benji looks like

Benji is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at animals care - Tierschutz ohne Grenzen in Ketzin.

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.

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.
