What we can report about Benny How did Benny end up in the animal shelter? Benny was rehomed in February 2021 from a Hungarian animal welfare organization to an elderly couple in the FFB district. Since he was neither physically nor mentally challenged there, he often escaped from the garden. Unfortunately, this also led to a damage incident, so in July 2021, Benny was transferred to the animal shelter Dachau. How does Benny currently behave in the animal shelter and on walks? Benny behaves calmly and unobtrusively in the animal shelter. He is well accustomed to wearing a muzzle but does not need to wear one in daily shelter life. On walks, he walks very neatly on the leash and shows a neutral and rather indifferent attitude towards external stimuli (vehicles, people, other dogs). Benny learns quickly, and through food rewards, you can quickly establish an initial bond with him. Update December 2025: After Benny unexpectedly showed neurological symptoms in May 2025, the last few months have been characterized by examinations, medication, and a lot of rest. With great joy, we have observed for several weeks now that Benny is doing noticeably better. For this reason, he can now go for walks again with his many walking companions and enjoy his well-earned cuddles.

Was wir über Benny berichten können Wie kam Benny ins Tierheim? Benny wurde im Februar 2021 von einer Tierschutzorganisation aus Ungarn an ein älteres Ehepaar im Landkreis FFB vermittelt. Da er dort weder körperlich noch geistig ausgelastet wurde, brach er des Öfteren aus dem Garten aus. Hier kam es leider auch zu einem Schadensfall, so dass Benny im Juli 2021 dem Tierheim Dachau übereignet wurde. Wie zeigt sich Benny derzeit im Tierheim und auf Spaziergängen? Benny verhält sich im Tierheim ruhig und unauffällig. Er ist gut an einen Maulkorb gewöhnt, muss diesen im Tierheimalltag aber nicht tragen. Bei Spaziergängen geht er sehr ordentlich an der Leine und zeigt sich gegenüber den Außenreizen (Fahrzeugen, Menschen, anderen Hunden) neutral und eher gleichgültig. Benny lernt schnell und über Futterbelohnungen kann man zügig eine erste Bindung zu ihm herstellen. Update Dezember 2025: Nachdem Benny im Mai 2025 völlig unerwartet neurologische Ausfallerscheinungen zeigte, waren die letzten Monate geprägt durch Untersuchungen, Medikamtengaben und sehr viel Schonung. Mit großer Freude stellen wir seit mehreren Wochen fest, dass es Benny wieder deutlich besser geht. Aus diesem Grund kann er jetzt auch wieder mit seinen zahlreichen Gassigehern spazieren gehen und sich seine verdienten Kuscheleinheiten abholen. Update September 2026: Benny ist mittlerweile ein ruhiger „Hundesenior“ geworden. Er erhält alle 2 Wochen Physiotherapie und alle 4 Wochen das Schmerzmittel Librella. Über einen ruhigen Alterswohnsitz und viel Zeit für Kuscheleinheiten würde sich Benni sehr freuen. Impressionen von Benny Benny 1 Benny 2 Benny 3

About Benny

What life with Benny looks like

Benny is a large puppy dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Dachau e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Benny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benny?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Dachau e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benny if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Dachau 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Benny 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 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 Tierschutzverein Dachau e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benny 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.
