Adopt Bon

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Cute young puppy seeks a loving, active home With his eight months, Bon is actually still a big baby, loves car rides, and adores his plush toys above all else. He is very playful and gentle with other dogs, getting along well with them no matter their size – whether big or small. As a typical Husky, Bon loves being outdoors, running, thoroughly investigating everything on walks, and observing birds. However, he shows no strong prey drive, but rather curiosity. He also loves water and happily bounces around in streams. With the members of his foster family, Bon interacts confidently, openly, and affectionately, often seeking their company. Occasionally, he begins to sing devotedly out of joy, making him even more charming and a clear sign of his innate, social intelligence. In fact, Bon is not only beautiful but also a very clever, eager-to-learn dog, now fully house-trained. Commands like “Sit,” “Stay,” “Paw,” and “Out” he has internalized and mastered quickly. The leash also works well. The only thing he’s a little scared of are children under about nine years old and sometimes also E-scooters, as an inexperienced teenager. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Zärtlicher Junghund sucht liebevolles, sportliches Zuhause Mit seinen acht Monaten ist Bon eigentlich noch ein großes Baby, liebt Autofahren sowie seine Kuscheltiere über alles. Er ist sehr verspielt und sanft im Umgang mit anderen Hunden, mit denen er sehr gut zurechtkommt – egal, welche Größe sie haben. Da er noch ein bisschen schüchtern ist, tut ihm ein zweiter Hund sehr gut. Als typischer Husky liebt Bon es, draußen zu sein, zu joggen, beim Spaziergang alles ausgiebig zu beschnuppern und Vögel zu beobachten. Er zeigt dabei aber keinen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb, eher Neugierde. Wasser findet er ebenfalls toll und hüpft gerne ausgelassen in Bächen herum. Mit den Mitgliedern seiner Pflegefamilie interagiert Bon vertrauensvoll, völlig offen, besonders liebevoll und sucht häufig ihre Nähe. Ab und an beginnt er, vor Freude hingebungsvoll zu singen, was ihn noch charmanter macht und ein großes Zeichen für seine angeborene, soziale Intelligenz ist. Überhaupt ist Bon nicht nur bildschön, sondern auch ein sehr kluger, lernbegieriger Hund, der mittlerweile absolut stubenrein ist. Kommandos wie „Sitz“, „Platz“, „Pfote“ und „Raus“ hatte er in Windeseile verinnerlicht und beherrscht sie sicher. Auch die Schleppleine funktioniert gut. Einzig vor Kindern bis etwa 9 Jahren und manchmal auch vor E-Scootern hat er als unerfahrener Teenie noch ein wenig Angst.

About Bon

What life with Bon looks like

Bon is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Bon, answered.

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