About Bento
What life with Bento looks like
Bento is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Dierenthuis Almere in Almere.
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 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.

Frequently asked
Adopting Bento, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about Bento?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenthuis Almere 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 — Dierenthuis Almere 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 Dierenthuis Almere 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 (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.
