Adopt BENNI

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 7 years

mixed-breed male dog looking for patient owners. BENNI, a Border collie mix, unfortunately lost his Frauchen. He was temporarily housed in their previous home for many months because the animal shelter was unfortunately full. The male dog has some hobbies, like digging for mice. The large BENNI is happy to be part of a home and family but needs a longer time to build trust, which requires several visits. He also has issues with crowds. We wish for him a loving place with a house and garden in a rural setting, without children, and for ample walks in nature.

Mischlingsrüde auf der Suche nach geduldigen Besitzern. Benni, Bordercolliemischling hat leider sein Frauchen verloren. Er wurde viele Monate lang notdürftig in ihrem bisherigen zu Hause betreut, da im Tierheim leider kein Zimmer frei war. Der Rüden hat einige Hobbies, wie etwa nach Mäusen zu buddeln. Der große Benni passt gerne auf Zuhause und Familie auf, braucht aber längere Zeit um Vertrauen aufzubauen, wodurch mehrere Besuche notwendig sind. Mit Enge hat er auch seine Probleme. Für ihn wünschen wir uns einen liebevollen Platz mit Haus und Garten in ländlicher Umgebung, ohne Kinder, dafür ausgiebigen Spaziergängen in der Natur.

About BENNI

What life with BENNI looks like

BENNI is a large adult border collie dog waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

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.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting BENNI, answered.

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