Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

18.05.2023: Rüde Ben Rasse: Border Collie Mischling Alter: ca. 4 Jahre (geb. Mai 2022) Schulterhöhe: ca. 50 cm Geschlecht: männlich/ kastriert Ben haben wir von einer Pflegestelle eines Tierschutzvereins übernommen, da er auf der Pflegestelle Verhaltensweisen zeigte, die ein Zusammenleben erschwerten. Bei uns im Tierheim zeigt er sich inzwischen gegenüber seinen Bezugspersonen sehr freundlich und loyal. Das war anfänglich nicht so, denn bis Ben sich einlässt und vertraut, braucht es etwas Zeit. Hier sind Geduld und Ausdauer gefragt. Mit Artgenossen ist Ben gut verträglich, solange sich seine Bezugsperson nicht dazu gesellt. Hier zeigt Ben dem Artgenossen deutlich, dass er seine Leute ganz für sich beansprucht. Für Ben suchen wir Hundehalter mit möglichst Hütehunderfahrung, ohne Kinder, die ihm den Zeitraum geben, den er benötigt, um zu vertrauen, mit ihm weiter gut und konsequent arbeiten und seinen Anlagen entsprechend beschäftigen und auslasten. Unsere Hunde werden entwurmt, geimpft und gechipt abgegeben. Video - Ben relaxing Video - Ben stellt sich vor

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Oberhavel e.V. in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Tierschutzverein Oberhavel 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 — Tierschutzverein Oberhavel 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 Tierschutzverein Oberhavel 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.
