How do I contact the shelter about Bento?

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

Can I adopt Bento if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Reutlingen 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 Bento 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 Bento 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 Reutlingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bento 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.

Bento

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Bento is a friendly, often very excitable and active mixed-breed. Although he hasn't met many people so far and has undoubtedly had some bad experiences with humans, he always seeks contact and is happy to see people. However, he doesn't always feel comfortable being touched, and he needs a quiet and safe atmosphere to do so. Putting a harness and leash on him is currently being practiced, but he is not yet ready for walks. He gets along very well with other dogs and would also be suitable as a second dog. Physically, he seems to have everything, but we always get the feeling that he has a slight, mental disability and that he finds it very difficult to adapt to new things and lacks ideas for implementation. Despite everything, Bento is incredibly charming, very convincing, attentive, curious, and full of initiative.

Bento ist ein freundlicher, oft sehr aufgeregter und aktiver Mischlingsrürde. Obwohl er bisher nicht viel kennen gelernt und mit Sicherheit auch schlechte Erfahrungen mit Menschen gemacht hat, sucht er stets den Kontakt und freut sich über Menschen. Sich anfassen zu lassen traut er sich aber nicht immer, dazu braucht er eine ruhige und sichere Atmosphäre. Geschirr und Leine anlegen wird gerade geübt, Spazierengehen ist aber noch nicht möglich. Mit anderen Hunden ist er sehr gut verträglich und wäre auch als Zweithund geeignet. Körperlich scheint ihm nichts zu fehlen, trotzdem haben wir immer wieder das Gefühl, dass er eine leichte, geistige Behinderung hat und sich vermutlich auch deswegen mit neuen Dingen sehr schwer tut und es ihm an Umsetzungsideen fehlt. Trotz allem ist Bento unheimlich liebenswürdig, sehr bestechlich, aufmerksam, neugierig und voller Tatendrang. Im Moment wäre eine

About Bento

What life with Bento looks like

Bento is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 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.
