BEN

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Volunteer report from Ruth 07/03/26: It’s my first time walking Ben. He met and was very good with 5 dogs. Some dogs were barking at him through the fence but he stayed calm and didn’t lunge or bark, again he didn’t lunge at any of the dogs inside the kennels. He has an upset tummy, maybe just GSD stress. He didn’t want to go back, he started to zig zag when we went back towards the kennels and hated going into his own kennel, I think he’s used to roaming free. Approx weight 04/03/26: 27kgs Volunteer report from Raisie 19/03/26: Ben is a cuddly, gentle and very friendly dog. He doesn't pull much, only a bit when he catches an interesting smell so in general he's easy to walk. He's not very big for being a shepherd and he's quite calm. He doesn't seem to react towards other dogs or cats (but he's not properly tested). Pawgress report from volunteer Liz, June 2026: "Beautiful Ben is the most adorable well behaved dog . Walks well on the lead so affectionate calm no interest in the cats good with the dogs we met . Just a friendly great dog even when I was pulling tufts of fur out of his coat every time he stopped to pee he never bothered. I can’t believe he’s still here "

About BEN

What life with BEN looks like

BEN is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Murcia) in Lips Rescue.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

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. Murcia) 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 — Murcia) 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 Murcia) 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 (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.
