Ben

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

June 2026 Ben has settled in well at the Quinta. He came to us together with his siblings Nina and Spencer, but he has managed to integrate wonderfully into the group, and he is often found exploring on his own even without the other two. Ben is the most active of the three, yet he is a really relaxed young dog. At first he was a bit overwhelmed by walking on a leash and the harness, but he picked it up very quickly, and now he does it wonderfully. This handsome male can walk on either a harness or a collar. Outdoors he is also rather relaxed and takes in his surroundings. Ben loves his food, though it is still quite possible to feed him together with other dogs. He has also already stayed overnight several times in the house of our volunteer helpers, where he showed his relaxed side as well. Ben mostly played or slept there. At night he prefers his dog bed and likes to sleep by himself. He loves toys and can keep himself busy with them very well. So far he has also been house-trained. If you would like to welcome Ben into your home as a beloved family member, please get in touch with us. Contact person: This email address is protected from spambots.

DE·Show original

Juni 2026 Ben hat sich gut auf der Quinta eingelebt. Er kam zwar mit seinen Geschwistern Nina und Spencer zu uns, hat es aber geschafft, sich super in die Gruppe zu integrieren und man findet ihn oft auch ohne die Beiden auf Erkundungstour. Ben ist der Aktivste der Drei, jedoch ein wirklich entspannter Junghund. Anfangs war er etwas überfordert mit dem Laufen an der Leine und dem Geschirr, jedoch hat er sehr schnell den Dreh rausbekommen und nun macht er das toll. Der hübsche Rüde kann sowohl am Geschirr, als auch am Halsband spazieren gehen. Draußen ist er auch eher entspannt und schaut sich um. Ben liebt sein Futter, es ist trotzdem gut möglich ihn mit anderen Hunden zusammen zu füttern. Er hat auch schon mehrmals im Haus der freiwilligen Helfer übernachtet und hat auch dort seine entspannte Seite gezeigt. Ben hat hauptsächlich gespielt oder geschlafen. Nachts bevorzugte er das Hundekörbchen und schläft lieber für sich. Er liebt Spielzeug und kann sich damit super beschäftigen. Bisher war er im Haus auch stubenrein. Wenn Sie Ben als ein geliebtes Familienmitglied bei sich aufnehmen möchten, melden Sie sich doch bitte bei uns. Ansprechpartner: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt!

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Canalba e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. 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. Rifugio Canalba e.V. 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 — Rifugio Canalba e.V. 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 Rifugio Canalba e.V. 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.
