How do I contact the shelter about Benson?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Help een Hond handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benson on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Benson if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Help een Hond 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 Benson 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 Benson 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 Stichting Help een Hond early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benson 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 (NL). 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.

Benson

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Benson came to the attention of Timea through a message on social media. Someone had seen two dogs by the roadside. Both were very friendly, the larger one was following the cars, while the smaller one seemed injured. The person who wrote the message fed the dogs but could not do anything else for them. After a week, no one had responded, so Timea went there and took the two dogs to her shelter. Benson, the smaller, black and white dog, is friendly, a little reserved, but very attached once he gets to know someone. He is very kind and gentle with the other dogs in the shelter. Benson could be a lovely family dog. Benson was injured, perhaps hit by a car, when he came to Timea, but this has healed and he has no lasting effects. He has now received all vaccinations and is able to travel. Of course, we hope that a kind adopter will soon come who will accompany Benson throughout his life. For a good life as a beloved pet, Benson certainly deserves it after his difficult start. Photos and Videos Benson is looking for a nice home ❤️ Size: approx. 50 cm / approx. 18 kg Born: approx. April 2023 Neutered: yes Residence: Sovata, Romania Cats: unknown Horses: unknown Temperament: social, friendly, affectionate We think Benson can develop into a nice family dog with your help! He is doing well with his foster caregiver in Romania. This does not mean he will not have to get used to a new living environment. His new owner will be patient and guide him well.

Benson kwam onder de aandacht bij Timea via een bericht op de sociale media. Iemand had langs de weg 2 honden gezien. Allebei heel vriendelijk, de grotere liep achter de auto's aan, de kleinere leek gewond. De schrijfster van het berichtje heeft de honden gevoerd maar kon verder helaas niets voor de honden betekenen. Na een week had nog niemand gereageerd en toen is Timea ernaartoe gegaan en heeft de twee meegenomen naar haar shelter. Benson, de kleinere, zwart witte hond is vriendelijk, een beetje terughoudend, maar wel heel aanhankelijk zodra hij iemand kent. Hij is heel lief en zacht met de andere honden in de shelter. Benson zou een fijne gezinshond kunnen zijn. Benson was gewond, misschien aangereden, toen hij bij Timea kwam, maar dit is genezen en hij houdt er niets aan over. Hij heeft inmiddels alle vaccinaties gehad en mag reizen. We hopen natuurlijk dat er snel een lieve adoptant komt die Bennett door zijn verdere leven begeleidt. Want een mooi leven als geliefde huishond heeft Bennett zeker verdiend na zijn moeilijke start. Foto's en Video's Benson zoekt een fijn thuis ❤️ Formaat: ca. 50 cm / ca. 18 kg Geboren: ca april 2023 Geneutraliseerd: ja Verblijfplaats: Sovata, Roemenië Katten: onbekend Paarden: onbekend Temperament: sociaal, vriendelijk, aanhankelijk We denken dat Benson zich kan ontwikkelen tot een fijne huishond met uw hulp! Hij doet het goed bij zijn opvangster in Roemenië. Dat neemt niet weg dat ook hij erg zal moeten wennen aan een nieuwe leefomgeving. Zijn nieuwe baasje is geduldig en zal hem hierbij goed begeleiden.

Na ontvangst van het intakeformulier zullen wij zo spoedig mogelijk contact met u opnemen.

About Benson

What life with Benson looks like

Benson is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Help een Hond in Netherlands.

An young 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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.
