Ben

Mixed Breed · Unknown

We are looking for experienced people to take on Ben, who need to be able to dedicate enough time to his upbringing and building trust, as he still has a lot to learn. He was raised in a large dog pack and is not yet familiar with much of everyday human life. He also requires breed-specific mental stimulation both mentally and physically. At the moment, he often does not know what to do with his boundless energy and barks when excited. However, Ben is eager to learn and will surely develop into a loyal companion. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Für unseren hübschen Ben suchen wir erfahrene Personen, die ausreichend Zeit für seine Erziehung und den Vertrauensaufbau haben, da er noch viel lernen muss. Er ist in einer großen Gruppe von Hunden aufgewachsen und hat noch nicht viel vom menschlichen Alltag kennengelernt. Ben ist aber ein schlaues, lernbereites Kerlchen und wird sich mit Sicherheit rasch zu einem loyalen Gefährten entwickeln. Border Collie verträglich keine Anfänger, keine kleinen Kinder, ein Garten wäre schön

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Feucht in Feucht.

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.

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 Feucht 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 Feucht 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 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 Feucht 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
