Bonjo

Kangal · Female · Adult · 6 years

Bonjo is very calm and people-friendly, enjoys cuddling and wrestling. She gets along well with fellow animals by sympathy. On the leash, a firm stand is required. However, when you tell her, she will walk alongside like a lamb. Generally, she is very relaxed and not easily upset. Breed-wise, she already doesn’t have the best joints, but no intervention or medication is currently needed. Bonjo gets hypoallergenic food. We are still not sure against what exactly she is allergic. We are looking for a home for her where she can have an enclosed yard or garden. Children might not be a problem, but cats should be tested beforehand. The Kangal is unfortunately listed in Hessen. shoulder height ca.

Bonjo ist sehr gemütlich und menschenlieb, schmust und rangelt gerne. Sie ist nach Sympathie mit Artgenossen verträglich. An der Leine wird ein fester Stand benötigt. Sie läuft allerdings wie ein Lamm nebenher, wenn man ihr das sagt.Generell ist sie sehr entspannt und lässt sich nicht so schnell aus der Ruhe bringen. Rassebedingt hat sie jetzt schon nicht die besten Gelenke, aber es benötigt noch kein Handlungsbedarf oder Medikamente.Bonjo bekommt Hypoallergenes Futter. Gegen was genau sie allergisch ist, wissen wir noch nicht. Wir suchen ein Zuhause für sie, wo ihr ein eingezäunter Hof oder Garten zur Verfügung steht. Kinder sind wahrscheinlich kein Problem, Katzen müsste man vorab testen. Der Kangal steht in Hessen leider auf der Liste. Schulterhöhe ca. 76 cm

About Bonjo

What life with Bonjo looks like

Bonjo is a medium-sized adult kangal dog waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bonjo, answered.

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