Benn

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Benn kam kurz vor Weihnachten 2025 aus Jerba zu uns. Dort hatte er sich mit Sarcoptesmilben, Ehrlichiose und der Hepatozoonose infiziert. Die Milben sowie die Ehrlichiose sind bei uns gut behandelt worden und er hat nur noch eine bleibende Hautveränderung im Brust- und Bauchbereich. Die Hepatozoonose wird er sein leben lang behalten, hat hier allerdings keine Symptome. Benn zeigt sich seinen Bezugspersonen als absoluter Clown und Kuschelbär. Er ist sehr gut verträglich mit anderen Hunden, bei fremden Menschen verhält er sich zu Beginn eher reserviert. Er ist stubenrein und benimmt sich in der Wohnung ruhig. Allerdings zeigt er ein starkes Territorialverhalten und verteidigt sein Futter. Wir suchen für Benn ein Zuhause mit einer Bezugsperson die gerne kuschelt und viel mit ihm spielt. Außerdem sollte schon Erfahrung mit Hundesprache vorhanden sein - es ist wichtig, dass seine Grenzen erkannt und respektiert werden. Manchmal vergisst man durch sein clowniges Verhalten, dass er schon einiges mitgemacht hat und manchmal auch überfordert ist. Wir wünschen uns für Benn ein ländliches Zuhause mit Grundstück, das er bewachen darf. Außerdem würde er sich sehr über einen Hundekumpel freuen. Familien mit Kleinkindern bzw. Kindern bis zu 15 Jahren schließen wir aufgrund seiner Futteraggression aus. Nähre Infos unter: 0931 - 84324

About Benn

What life with Benn looks like

Benn is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Würzburg in Würzburg.

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 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 Benn, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benn?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Würzburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benn on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benn if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Würzburg 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 Benn 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 Benn 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 Tierheim Würzburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benn 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.
