Benny

Mixed Breed · Male

Benny Description Benny has been in Germany since early May. After a week on our shelter yard, he is now living in a foster home with a free dog bed. He lives there with a female dog, and it works out well, although Benny shows no interest in her. He would therefore be happy as a single prince. For him, his people are much more important. He is very cuddly and actively seeks contact. During the day, he lies at the desk of foster parents, helps in the kitchen while they cook in the evening, and makes himself comfortable on the couch while watching TV. In the house, he moves around freely and explores all rooms and floors, from the basement to the top floor. At the mere sight of dishes, he gets very excited, because he loves going for walks.

DE·Show original

Benny Beschreibung Benny ist seit Anfang Mai in Deutschland. Nach einer Woche auf unserem Schutzhof konnte er ein freies Körbchen auf einer Pflegestelle beziehen. Dort lebt er mit einer Hündin zusammen, mit der er auch schon mal 1–2 Stunden allein bleibt. Das Zusammenleben klappt problemlos, wobei Benny keinerlei Interesse an ihr zeigt. Er wäre also auch als Einzelprinz glücklich. Denn viel wichtiger sind ihm seine Menschen, egal ob groß oder klein. Benny ist sehr verschmust und sucht aktiv den Kontakt, um sich seine Streicheleinheiten abzuholen. Dabei bindet er sich stark an seine Bezugsperson und folgt ihr auf Schritt und Tritt. So liegt er tagsüber nehmen dem Schreibtisch von Pflegefrauchen, ist abends in der Küche beim Kochen dabei und macht es sich später beim Fernsehen auf der Couch

About Benny

What life with Benny looks like

Benny is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz-Team 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 Benny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz-Team 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 — Tierschutz-Team 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 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 Tierschutz-Team 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
