How do I contact the shelter about Ben?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4 Happy Paws 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 — 4 Happy Paws 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. 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 4 Happy Paws 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Ben

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 6 months

Ben, a small fighter, is looking for his forever home. Ben was surrendered to the shelter with his sister in a very, very bad condition. Unfortunately, his sister didn't make it - but Ben fought. Ben has no eyes. Despite this, he doesn't let it get him down and masters his daily life with flying colors. He orients himself surprisingly well and makes it clear every day what a small fighter is in him. Now he only needs one thing: a loving home where he can stay forever. Ben is a pure indoor cat and should only be kept as such! He is incredibly sweet and affectionate, playful due to his age, very tolerant with fellow cats, curious and open-minded. Ben cannot be kept alone. He absolutely needs cat company and a home that gives him security, patience and lots of love. His missing eyes don't make him less carefree. Ben wants to discover, play, cuddle and just be a cat. Who will give this special little fighter his forever home?

Kleiner Kämpfer Ben sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause Ben wurde gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester in einem ganz, ganz schlimmen Zustand im Tierheim abgegeben. Seine Schwester hat es leider nicht geschafft – aber Ben hat gekämpft. Ben hat keine Augen mehr. Trotzdem lässt er sich davon nicht unterkriegen und meistert seinen Alltag mit Bravour. Er orientiert sich erstaunlich gut und macht jeden Tag aufs Neue deutlich, was für ein kleiner Kämpfer in ihm steckt. Nun fehlt ihm nur noch eines: ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er für immer bleiben darf. Ben ist eine reine Wohnungskatze & darf auch nur so gehalten werden! Er ist unfassbar lieb und verschmust, altersbedingt verspielt, sehr verträglich mit Artgenossen, neugierig und aufgeschlossen. Ben darf nicht alleine gehalten werden. Er braucht unbedingt Katzengesellschaft und ein Zuhause, das ihm Sicherheit, Geduld und ganz viel Liebe schenkt. Seine fehlenden Augen machen ihn nicht weniger lebensfroh. Ben möchte entdecken, spielen, kuscheln und einfach Katze sein. Wer schenkt diesem besonderen kleinen Kämpfer sein Für-immer-Zuhause?

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at 4 Happy Paws e.V. in Saal an der Donau.

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 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.
