How do I contact the shelter about Ben & Jerry?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Cardiff handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ben & Jerry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ben & Jerry if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Cardiff 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Ben & Jerry 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 Ben & Jerry 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 Dogs Trust Cardiff early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ben & Jerry 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 (EN). 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.

Ben & Jerry

Lurcher · Male · Young · 1 year

Ben & Jerry are stunning dogs with hearts of gold, who love to have a rag around of a toy and a zoom followed by a cuddle on the sofa. They are gentle and sweet, and will be happy to be left for 4-6 hours with a break once settled. These boys would suit a home with a garden that they can have a run around, but would love an active home where they can be taken for fun, sniffy adventures together. Ben & Jerry are friendly with other dogs, and will be happy to make friends out and about. They are great with all forms of handling, though Ben can be a bit spooked by quick movements or loud noises. Once in a home and settled, he'll become the bravest of boys and we can't wait to see them thriving. If you are a lurcher fan, you will need these boys in your lives as they are so loveable and affectionate. We cannot wait to see these boys thriving in their forever home. Meet this gorgeous stripy duo, Ben & Jerry! Ben & Jerry are 1.5-year old Lurcher boys who are looking for a home together. Despite being younger lads, they are wonderfully friendly and incredibly sweet. They can jump up at times to say hello, but could live with primary school aged children who are comfortable with this. Ben & Jerry could live with another dog in the home, pending a successful meet in the centre! Ben & Jerry are such amazing boys, with wonderful personalities. They are active lads who would love to go our for walks with their new family, and they walk wonderfully on the lead. Ben is incredibly affectionate, and wants nothing more than to give you lots of kisses and cuddles. Ben is the less confident of the two, and often looks to Jerry for reassurance. They love to have a zoom off-lead in our enclosed paddocks, and enjoy a game of bitey face in their spare time in typical lurcher style. This duo are gorgeous both in looks and in temperament, and they will make their new family incredibly happy. They are bouncy without being rude, and will do just about anything for a tasty treat! They will need a bit of training in some areas such as learning basic commands and house-training, but with a good routine they will be superstars. This duo have quickly become a staff favourite, and are absolute angels.

About Ben & Jerry

What life with Ben & Jerry looks like

Ben & Jerry is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

An young 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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
