Boni

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

This wonderful older gentleman, Boni, is 14 years old. Unfortunately, his past has not been kind. Boni is deaf and blind, so he navigates the world through touch and smell. His hind legs also cause him considerable trouble, so walks are very slow, short, and tailored to his abilities. However, what matters most to him is being able to explore his surroundings at his own pace and feel safe while doing so. His blood tests were fine, which was a great relief. He does have skin issues and a heart murmur, which requires lifelong therapy and regular monitoring of his health. We are looking for a loving home where he can experience peace, warmth, patience, and understanding. Above all, we want someone with a big heart who will give him the chance to spend the rest of his life beautifully, safely, and loved.

Opis Ta čudoviti starejši gospod Boni je star 14 let. Njegova preteklost žal ni bila prijazna. Boni je gluh in slep, zato svet okoli sebe spoznava s pomočjo dotika in vonja. Tudi zadnje tačke mu povzročajo precej težav, zato so sprehodi zelo počasni, kratki in prilagojeni njegovim zmožnostim. Njemu pa je najpomembneje, da lahko v svojem tempu ovoha okolico in se ob tem počuti varno. Krvni izvidi so bili v redu, kar nas je zelo razveselilo. Ima pa težave s kožo in tudi srčni šum, zaradi katerega potrebuje doživljenjsko terapijo in redno spremljanje njegovega zdravstvenega stanja. Iščemo mu srčen dom, kjer mu bodo ponudili mir, toplino, potrpežljivost in razumevanje. Predvsem pa si želimo človeka z velikim srcem, ki mu bo dal priložnost, da preostanek svojega življenja preživi lepo, varno in ljubljeno

About Boni

What life with Boni looks like

Boni is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Zavetišče za živali Maribor in Maribor.

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 Slovenia

Slovenian shelters follow EU pet passport requirements rigorously and coordinate with Italian, Austrian, and German rescue partners. Animals are fully vetted before leaving.

Frequently asked

Adopting Boni, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Boni?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zavetišče za živali Maribor handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Boni on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Boni if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zavetišče za živali Maribor 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Boni 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 Boni 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 Zavetišče za živali Maribor early rather than rehoming privately; they know Boni 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 (SL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
