Adopt Benno

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Young · 3 years

I'm Benno, a small but demanding fellow looking for a home with experienced dog owners. Here's a little about me: In my previous home, I unfortunately started biting at some point. The trust between us was lost, and I ended up at the shelter. Here, I'm already in training and making progress. Generally, I'm a bit unsure of myself at first, especially when being touched, for example, when having my harness put on. This is something we're working on with me here. It requires a lot of sensitivity and experience. I know basic commands, I'm very attached to people, house-trained, and I can be calmly walked past other dogs. Whether I can be left alone for a few hours would need to be tested and, if necessary, patiently practiced. I'm looking for an experienced home that can provide me with the necessary security and handle situations where I feel insecure. My home should be in a quiet location, and there shouldn't be any children in the household. Several visits to the shelter will be necessary for us to get to know each other. Could I be the perfect home for you?

Ich bin Benno ein kleiner, aber anspruchsvoller Kerl auf der Suche nach einem hundeerfahrenen Zuhause. Das bin ich: In meinem vorherigen Zuhause habe ich leider irgendwann angefangen zu beißen. Das Vertrauen zwischen uns war dann dahin und ich kam ins Tierheim. Hier bin ich aber schon im Training und mache Fortschritte. Generell bin ich anfangs unsicher bei Berührungen, zum Beispiel beim Geschirr-Anziehen. Das wird hier mit mir geübt. Da ist viel Fingerspitzengefühl und Erfahrung gefragt. Die Grundkommandos beherrsche ich, bin personenbezogen, stubenrein und lasse mich auch an anderen Hunden ruhig vorbeiführen. Ob ich auch mal ein paar Stunden allein bleiben kann, müsste getestet und gegebenenfalls geduldig geübt werden. Ich wünsche mir ein erfahrenes Zuhause, das mir die nötige Sicherheit gibt und auch mit Situationen umgehen kann, in denen ich unsicher bin. Mein Zuhause sollte ruhig gelegen sein, Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Und es werden mehrere Besuche zum Kennenlernen im Tierheim nötig sein. Finde ich bei dir genau das richtige Zuhause?
