Ben

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Ben is one of those dogs that makes you feel sad just by looking into his eyes. Ben actually doesn't come from our region. He was found in the area of Elche. The woman who discovered him brought him to the Perrera herself because Ben had injuries that suggested he had been attacked by other dogs. He didn't have a chip. Nobody was looking for him - and so Ben ended up in the Perrera. When a place became available with us, the finder paid for his release and brought him to us. Maybe that was Ben's big luck. Since then he shows us every day what a incredibly sweet dog is in him. Ben has a really wonderful character. He is very, very calm and initially approaches his surroundings cautiously. When he came to us, he was very afraid of people. He obviously didn't know what to expect from them. Today he is a little further along.

Ben ist einer dieser Hunde, bei denen man einfach nur traurig wird, wenn man in seine Augen schaut. Eigentlich stammt Ben gar nicht aus unserer Region. Er wurde in der Gegend von Elche gefunden. Die Frau, die ihn entdeckte, brachte ihn selbst in die Perrera, denn Ben hatte Verletzungen, die darauf hindeuteten, dass er von anderen Hunden angegriffen worden war. Einen Chip hatte er nicht. Niemand suchte nach ihm – und so landete Ben in der Perrera. Als schließlich ein Platz bei uns frei wurde, bezahlte die Finderin seine Auslösung und brachte ihn zu uns. Vielleicht war das Bens großes Glück. Denn seitdem zeigt er uns jeden Tag, was für ein unglaublich lieber Hund in ihm steckt. Ben hat einen wirklich wunderbaren Charakter. Er ist sehr, sehr ruhig und begegnet seiner Umgebung zunächst vorsichtig. Als er zu uns kam, hatte er große Angst vor Menschen. Er wusste offenbar nicht, was er von ihnen erwarten durfte. Heute ist er schon ein kleines Stück weiter.

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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. 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 Europa 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 Europa 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 Europa 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.
