Ben

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

The uncomplicated dog senior Ben can be safely referred to as tax-free. The 2017-born mixed breed is not only very people-oriented and cuddly, but also leash-friendly and child-friendly. As his owners could no longer adequately care for him, Ben was entrusted to the animal shelter to ensure the necessary veterinary treatment at the time. Ben's medical values are now back within the normal range, but unfortunately, his limited vision due to a lens opacity could not be cured. Therefore, Ben needs a home that is as level as possible without stairs, where furniture also has a fixed place. The four-legged cuddle expert enjoys walks, but the fun for Ben sometimes comes to an end when encountering unneutered male dogs. Walks well on a leash.

DE·Show original

Den unkomplizierten Hundesenior Ben kann man guten Gewissens als vergnügungssteuerpflichtig bezeichnen. Der 2017 geborene Mischling ist nicht nur sehr menschenbezogen und verschmust, sondern auch leinenführig und kinderlieb.Da sich seine Besitzer nicht mehr adäquat um ihn kümmern konnten, wurde Ben dem Tierheim übereignet, auch, um die damals notwendige tierärztliche Behandlung sicherzustellen. Bens medizinische Werte sind inzwischen wieder im Normalbereich, sein eingeschränktes Sehvermögen bedingt durch eine Linsentrübung konnte jedoch leider nicht kuriert werden. Ben braucht also ein möglichst ebenerdiges Zuhause ohne Treppen, in dem auch die Möbel ihren festen Platz haben. Der vierbeinige Kuschelexperte geht gerne Gassi, nur bei Begegnungen mit unkastrierten Rüden hört der Spaß für Ben manchmal auf.

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz in Neumarkt.

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 Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz 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 Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz 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 Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz 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.
