Ben

Weimaraner · Male · Senior · 11 years

In charge of this, I am seeking a new home for a 11-year-old, unneutered Weimaraner male dog. Due to illness, the owner can no longer care for him adequately. The dog is in top condition, open-minded, but due to the current circumstances and the fact that he now goes for walks only occasionally, he can sometimes be a bit boisterous. He gets along well with female dogs, but when it comes to male dogs, it depends on their chemistry. We would like a home where his need for movement is met. He is housebroken and listens well on a leash. We would also like to visit the new home after getting to know it. For more information about the breeder, etc., please contact us.

Im Auftrag suche ich ein neues Zuhause für einen 11 jährigen, unkastrierten Weimaraner Rüden. Aufgrund von Krankheit kann die Besitzerin sich nicht mehr ausreichend um ihn kümmern. Der Hund ist topfit, aufgeschlossen, aber aufgrund der aktuellen Umstände und dass er nur noch selten Spazieren geht teilweise etwas ungestüm. Mit Hündinnen versteht er sich gut, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie. Wir würden uns ein Zuhause wünschen, wo man ihm und seinem Bewegungsdrang gerecht wird. Er hört 1A im Freilauf. Auch möchten wir uns das neue Zuhause nach vorherigem Kennenlernen gerne anschauen. Nähere Infos zum Züchter etc. gerne auf Anfrage Kontakt:

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a senior weimaraner dog waiting at Tierheim Neuwied in Neuwied.

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. 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 Neuwied 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 Neuwied 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 Neuwied 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.
