Mir fällt es schwer Vertrauen zu fassen. Lässt man mir ganz viel Zeit, um mich an neue Menschen zu gewöhnen, fasse ich Schritt für Schritt langsam Vertrauen. Bei Bezugspersonen geniesse ich auch Kuscheleinheiten. Aber sobald ich genug habe, gehe ich in mein Körbchen und möchte dann gern meine Ruhe haben. Bei Spaziergängen liebe ich es, ausgiebig alles zu beschnuppern.Hinweis(e): Ben wird nur an Menschen mt Hundeerfahrung vermittelt. Er bekommt täglich Schmerzmittel. Im neuen Zuhause sollten keine Kinder leben. Bitte vereinbaren Sie einen Termin zum Kennenlernen.Kontakt:Tel.: oder

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a senior border collie dog waiting at Tierheim Schleswig 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 Ben, answered.

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