Adopt Bente in Portugal

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Gender: female/neutered Location: Shelter/Portugal Compatibility with others: male dogs & females Bente, a sweet, little, and cheerful female dog, is looking for her “Forever Home” where she is finally allowed to arrive. Bente is doing well at 9 years old and enjoys life. She shows herself uncomplicated in Portugal and is affectionate towards people. With other dogs, she shows social and compatible behavior. As we know nothing about Bente’s past, we assume that the little mouse still has to learn some things. This includes dog ABC, leash manners, house training, and all the things that belong to a normal dog and family life. It is worth noting that every animal shelter dog, especially considering its past, brings its own story. Therefore, we can never predict how the dog will actually develop and react to living together in Germany with you. Bente can travel for fostering or final placement.

Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Standort: Shelter/Portugal Verträglichkeit: Rüden & Weibchen Unsere Bente, eine süße, kleine und fröhliche Hündin, sucht ihr “Für-immer-Zuhause”, wo sie endlich ankommen darf. Bente ist für ihre 9 Jahre gut drauf und erfreut sich am Leben. Sie zeigt sich in Portugal unkompliziert und zeigt sich lieb gegenüber Menschen. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich sozial und verträglich. Da wir nichts über die Vergangenheit von Bente wissen, gehen wir erstmal davon aus, dass die kleine Maus noch etwas lernen muss. Dazu zählen das Hunde-ABC, Leinenführigkeit, Stubenreinheit und all die Sachen, die zu einem normalen Hunde- und Familienleben gehören. Anzumerken ist, dass jeder Tierschutzhund, gerade auch im Hinblick auf seine Vergangenheit, seine eigene Geschichte mitbringt. Wir können deshalb nie vorhersagen, wie der Hund sich tatsächlich entwickelt und auf das Zusammenleben in Deutschland mit dir/euch reagieren wird. Bente kann auf eine Pflege- oder Endstelle reisen.

About Bente in Portugal

What life with Bente in Portugal looks like

Bente in Portugal is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pro Dog International e.V. in Talkau.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Bente in Portugal, answered.

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