Benny Bub

Mixed Breed · Male

Benny Bub and his human had a very close bond. Long walks and lots of time spent together brought the two very close. Unfortunately, his human passed away and the handsome Cocker Spaniel is now looking for a new home. On the leash he walks perfectly, but he can also be left alone at home. Benny Bub is completely healthy, has been thoroughly checked by a vet, and is likely to continue living as a single dog. Although he is no longer a young dog, we really hope that this nice guy gets a second chance, possibly with Cocker Spaniel fans. Experience with the breed should be present, as the Cocker Spaniel knows exactly what he wants and what he doesn't want. Benny Bub can be quite stubborn and independent, and this must be taken into account by his new human. So far, the four-legged friend preferred the male gender as primary caregiver; it's absolutely essential to allow Benny Bub an extended getting-to-know-you phase, because you don't easily transplant an "old tree". The male dog does not know children and this should remain the case in the future. If you are interested, we would be happy to have a phone conversation with you for more information.

Benny Bub und sein Herrchen hatten eine sehr enge Verbindung zueinander. Ausgiebige Spaziergänge und viel gemeinsame Zeit schweißten die beiden eng zusammen. Leider ist sein Mensch gestorben und der hübsche Cockermann ist nun auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause. An der Leine läuft er mustergültig, kann aber auch mal allein zuhause bleiben. Benny Bub ist absolut fit, wurde gesundheitlich durchgecheckt und möchte sehr wahrscheinlich weiterhin als Einzelhund leben. Obwohl er kein Youngster mehr ist, hoffen wir sehr, dass der nette Bursche eine zweite Chance bekommt, eventuell bei Cocker-Fans. Erfahrung mit der Rasse sollte vorhanden sein, der Cocker Bube weiß genau was er will und auch was er nicht will. Benny Bub kann ziemlich stur und eigen sein, damit muss man als neues Herrchen/Frauchen umgehen können. Bisher bevorzugte der Vierbeiner das männliche Geschlecht als Bezugsperson, eine längere Kennenlernphase muss man Benny Bub unbedingt zugestehen, denn einen “alten Baum” verpflanzt man nicht so einfach. Kinder kennt der Rüde nicht und dies sollte auch zukünftig so bleiben. Sollte Ihr Interesse geweckt sein, dann unterhalten wir uns gerne telefonisch mit Ihnen für weitere Informationen.

About Benny Bub

What life with Benny Bub looks like

Benny Bub is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Benny Bub, answered.

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