Brendon

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Brendon and Brenda are two sibling dogs who were born in a canine shelter and have never known anything but their caregivers, their small box with a metal door, and a small patch of earth in front of it for a few minutes a day. As a result, they are anxious and timid when there is a change. They have built trust with their caregivers, but when strangers visit their box, they retreat to their huts. It is highly commendable that they do not try to move forward when they feel threatened, but instead remain still and allow the person to get closer. Brendon and Brenda are two wonderful souls, and the look in their eyes reveals how much they want to escape the stress of the canine shelter and their own fear. As if that wasn't bad enough, the two also have a handicap: Brenda and Brendon tested positive for Leishmaniasis and are treated with allopurinol depending on the symptoms. The comune does not provide funding for the necessary regular blood tests for monitoring and the possibly necessary treatment with Milteforan or Domperidon. This denies the dogs a very effective and efficient treatment option that would give them more life and quality of life. Leishmaniasis - no panic please! Although the disease is certainly frightening, dogs with this infection or disease can reach a normal lifespan with timely detection and optimal treatment. We wish for these siblings a quiet family, preferably with experience with anxious dogs, a house with a secure garden in a quiet location. Time, patience, empathy, and love will be the key to their shared happiness. For questions about our protégés, or if you would like to offer BRENDON a place as a family member on a foster or permanent home, please contact: . You will receive our general information on the placement process and our self-assessment form by email.

Ganz bewusst haben wir uns entschieden, auch diesen beiden Seelen ein Gesicht bei uns zu geben. Wer im Canile geboren ist, der darf einfach dort nicht sterben!!!! Da die beiden Geschwister bisher nichts als ihre Pfleger, ihre kleine Box mit der Gittertüre und das kleine Fleckchen Erde davor für wenige Minuten am Tag kennenlernen konnten, sind sie entsprechend ängstlich und scheu, wenn es eine Veränderung gibt. Zu ihren Pflegern haben Brendon und Brenda Vertrauen aufgebaut, bei fremdem Besuch in ihrer Box verziehen sie sich erst mal gern in ihre Hütten. Ganz hoch anrechnen muss man den beiden, dass sie selbst unter Angst und wenn sie sich bedrängt fühlen, nicht versuchen nach vorne zu gehen, sondern sich dann einfach ganz still halten und es über sich ergehen lassen, dass der Mensch auch mal näher rückt. Brendon und Brenda sind zwei ganz tolle Seelen und der Blick in ihre Augen verrät, wie gerne sie dem Stress im canile und auch ihrer eigenen Angst entfliehen möchten. Als ob das alles noch nicht schlimm genug wäre, so haben die zwei auch noch ein Handicap: Brenda und & Brendon wurden positiv getestet auf die Leishmaniose und werden je nach Symptomatik mit Allopurinol behandelt. Für die so dringend notwendigen, regelmäßigen Blutuntersuchungen zur Kontrolle und der u.U. auch notwendigen Behandlung mit Milteforan bzw. Domperidon steht kein Geld von der comune zur Verfügung. So wird den Hunden eine sehr wirksame und effektive Behandlungsmöglichkeit vorenthalten, die ihnen mehr Lebenszeit und Lebensqualität schenken würde. Leishmaniose – keine Panik bitte! Auch wenn die Krankheit natürlich einen gewissen Schrecken mit sich bringt, so können inzwischen auch Hunde mit dieser Infektion bzw. Erkrankung bei rechtzeitiger Erkennung und optimaler Behandlung ein ganz normales Lebensalter erreichen. Wir wünschen uns für diese Geschwister eine ruhige Familie, am besten schon mit Erfahrung mit ängstlichen Hunden, ein Haus mit gesichertem Garten in einer ruhigen Lage. Zeit, Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und Liebe werden der Schlüssel zum gemeinsamen Glück sein. Bei Fragen zu unseren Schützlingen, oder aber wenn Sie BRENDON einen Platz als Familienmitglied auf einer Pflegestelle oder Endstelle anbieten möchten, dann melden Sie sich bitte bei: . Sie erhalten dann per Mail im ersten Schritt unsere allgemeinen Infos zum Vermittlungsablauf bzw. zur Pflegestellentätigkeit und unser Formular zur Selbstauskunft.

About Brendon

What life with Brendon looks like

Brendon is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at SardinienHunde e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Brendon, answered.

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