Benzi

Male · Young · 1 year

Gender: Male Breed: Crossbreed Pairing: No Age: 29-01-2025 Can live with cats: No Can live with dogs: Unknown Spayed/Neutered: No House-trained: Yes Benzi is a young, enthusiastic male dog, one and a half years old. He’s a crossbreed weighing around 20 kg. He’s always cheerful, has a big heart, and an even bigger dose of energy. Due to his exuberant nature, we’d prefer not to place him with children under 12 or with cats. Benzi is always friendly and upbeat, but he does need an owner who is firm—in both the literal and figurative sense—because this young dog still has a lot to learn. We’re therefore looking for an active household where time, attention, and exercise are no problem—and where he can gradually build up his independence at his own pace. Benzi is a gentle, intelligent dog who can develop into a wonderful companion in a positive and consistent manner. Are you looking for a eager-to-learn, energetic pup with whom you can build a beautiful bond? Schedule a meet-and-greet with Benzi!

Geslacht: Reu Ras: Kruising Koppel: Nee Leeftijd: 29-01-2025 Kan bij katten: Nee Kan bij honden: Onbekend Gesteriliseerd/gecastreerd: Nee Zindelijk: Ja Benzi is een jonge enthousiaste reu van anderhalf jaar oud. Hij is een kruising van zo’n 20 kg. Hij is altijd vrolijk, heeft een groot hart en een nog grotere dosis energie. Vanwege zijn onstuimigheid plaatsen we hem liever niet bij kinderen onder de 12 jaar of katten. Benzi is altijd vriendelijk en opgewekt, maar zoekt wel een baasje die letterlijk en figuurlijk stevig in de schoenen staat, want deze jongen moet nog veel leren. We zoeken dan ook een actief huishouden, waar tijd, aandacht en beweging geen probleem zijn. En waar het alleen zijn rustig opgebouwd kan gaan worden. Benzi is een zachtaardige, slimme hond die zich op een positieve en consequente manier kan ontwikkelen tot een fijne huisgenoot. Ben jij op zoek naar een leergierige spring-in-‘t-veld, waar je samen een mooie band mee kunt opbouwen? Plan een kennismaking met Benzi!

About Benzi

What life with Benzi looks like

Benzi is a large young adult dog waiting at Nomadenhof Sneek in CM Sneek.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benzi, answered.

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