Bonzo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

When people can't get along with each other, the animals always suffer the most. This lovable senior, who had to leave his home in old age, is a demanding but quiet older gentleman who enjoys the company of his people. Due to his age, he sleeps a lot and very soundly, as his hearing isn't as good as it used to be. Long walks are no longer necessary for the love of a walk, especially not in hot weather. Then he prefers to spend his time in the shady garden and enjoys some cuddles. He is not interested in the cats that share the garden with him. While he doesn't find some of our male dogs so great, he gets along well with nice female dogs. Of course, the transition to his new home is a bit difficult for him, as we have very little time for each individual animal. Maybe he will have the great fortune of finding people who will be completely devoted to him. We would wish him this from the bottom of our hearts.

DE·Show original

Wenn Menschen nicht miteinander klar kommen leiden darunter immer am meisten die Tiere. So erging es auch diesem liebenswerten Senior, der im hohen Alter noch sein Zuhause verlassen musste. Bonzo ist ein anspruchsloser ruhiger älterer Herr, der die Nähe seiner Menschen genießt. Aufgrund seines Alters schläft er schon sehr viel und auch sehr fest, da sein Gehör nicht mehr so gut funktioniert. Lange Spaziergänge benötigt der Liebe nicht mehr, schon gar nicht bei großer Hitze. Dann genießt er lieber die Zeit im schattigen Garten und freut sich über ein paar Streicheleinheiten. An den Katzen, die sich mit ihm den Garten teilen, ist er nicht interessiert. Einige unserer Rüden findet er nicht so toll, wogegen er mit netten Hündinnen gut verträglich ist. Natürlich fällt ihm die Umstellung in sein neues Zuhause ein wenig schwer, haben wir doch für jedes einzelne Tier nur sehr wenig Zeit. Vielleicht hat er ja noch einmal das große Glück, Menschen für sich ganz allein zu finden. Wir würden ihm das von ganzem Herzen wünschen. Letschow, im Juli 2020

About Bonzo

What life with Bonzo looks like

Bonzo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kleiner Gnadenhof e.V. in Schwaan / OT Letschow.

An 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 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.
