Benno

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Benno (geb. 04/2021) durfte am 14.02.2025 ausreisen und so bereit für sein eigenes Zuhause. Einst kam er ausgemergelt aus dem Public Shelter Husi nach Campurelu. Heute ist er ein kräftiger, lebensfroher Rüde, der mit seiner offenen und fröhlichen Art sofort begeistert.Benno ist freundlich, aufgeschlossen und sehr menschenbezogen. Er genießt Streicheleinheiten ausgiebig, möchte gefallen, ist lernfreudig und orientiert sich stark an seinen Menschen. Spaziergänge mag er sehr und läuft bereits gut an der Leine. Zudem ist er stubenrein.Nach seiner Ausreise wurde festgestellt, dass Benno blind ist – vermutlich bereits von Geburt an. Er selbst geht erstaunlich selbstverständlich damit um, weshalb es uns in Rumänien nie aufgefallen war. Für ihn bedeutet das keine Einschränkung seiner Lebensfreude, wohl aber besondere Verantwortung für seine Menschen. Eine ruhige, sichere Umgebung ist wichtig. Wohnungshaltung ist ebenso möglich wie ein Haus mit gut gesichertem Grundstück, denn Zäune stellen für Benno kein Hindernis dar. Er möchte eng bei seinen Menschen sein und braucht deren Orientierung.Wir sehen Benno eher als Einzelprinzen. Gesucht wird eine Familie, die ihm trotz – oder gerade wegen – seiner Blindheit ihr Herz schenkt und ihm Sicherheit, Struktur und Nähe gibt.Benno bringt beste Voraussetzungen mit, ein treuer und enger Begleiter zu werden.Benno ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Benno

What life with Benno looks like

Benno is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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. 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 Benno, answered.

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