Benji

Mixed Breed · Male · 2 years

Benji is a 2.5-year-old dog surrendered by the owner due to difficult, negative behavior. Benji is a dog that becomes attached to one person. For his caregiver, he can be devoted and loyal, but relationships with the environment are difficult for him. He was surrendered by the owner due to intensifying negative, sometimes even aggressive behaviors, which began to appear with the dog's age, even towards the owner himself. He does not tolerate strangers, reacts poorly to children, as well as bicycles and cars. In interactions with people, he definitely prefers women - he is distrustful and distant towards men.

PL·Show original

Benji to 2 i pół roczny pies oddany przez właściciela z powodu trudnych, negatywnych zachowań. Benji to pies, który całym sobą przywiązuje się do jednej osoby. Dla swojego opiekuna potrafi być oddany i wierny, ale relacje z otoczeniem bywają dla niego trudne. Został oddany przez właściciela z powodu nasilających się negatywnych, a miejscami wręcz agresywnych zachowań, które wraz z wiekiem psa zaczęły się przejawiać również do samego właściciela. Nie toleruje obcych ludzi, źle reaguje na dzieci, a także na rowery i samochody. W kontaktach z ludźmi zdecydowanie preferuje kobiety – wobec mężczyzn jest nieufny i zdystansowany.

About Benji

What life with Benji looks like

Benji is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Wrocław in Wrocław.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Behavioral issues including aggression, requires experienced handler, prefers female handlers

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

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. Schronisko Wrocław 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 — Schronisko Wrocław 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 Schronisko Wrocław 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 (PL). 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.
