Adopt ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben”

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

***Private rehoming – This animal is not at the shelter. If interested, please contact via the details listed below.*** Owner's description: Ben – intelligent Border Collie (2 years old) seeks an empathetic home Ben is a 2-year-old male this breed with great potential and a sensitive nature. He embodies all the typical traits of his breed: he’s intelligent, attentive, and eager to work—especially passionate about fetching balls and playing in water. Ben learns very quickly and shows motivation and willingness to cooperate when given clear structure. He already copes very well with being left alone—calmly and without fuss. Nevertheless, he is not suitable for first-time dog owners: he’s reserved around people, not a cuddly lapdog, and needs time to build trust. In new situations or when faced with loud noises, he reacts fearfully and prefers to withdraw. He is house-trained, not neutered, and knows basic commands. Car rides are still very stressful for him at the moment—patient training will be required here. We’re looking for dog-experienced people who can handle sensitive and insecure dogs. A quiet, low-stimulation environment, patience, empathy, and consistent yet loving guidance are essential for Ben to thrive and develop trust. He’s not a dog you can just take on casually—but with the right support, he’ll become a wonderfully clever companion who rewards his ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben” with loyalty and eagerness to learn. Interested in Ben? Then we’d be delighted to hear from you at:. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

***Privatvermittlung – Das Tier befindet sich nicht im Tierheim. Bei Interesse wenden Sie sich bitte an untenstehende Kontaktmöglichkeit.*** Text der Halter: Ben – intelligenter Border Collie (2 Jahre) sucht einfühlsames Zuhause Ben ist ein 2-jähriger Border Collie-Rüde mit großem Potenzial und einem sensiblen Wesen. Er bringt alle typischen Eigenschaften seiner Rasse mit: Er ist intelligent, aufmerksam und arbeitsfreudig – besonders das Apportieren mit Ball und das Spielen im Wasser liebt er sehr. Ben lernt sehr schnell und zeigt sich bei klaren Strukturen motiviert und kooperationsbereit. Auch das Alleinbleiben meistert er bereits sehr gut – ruhig und unauffällig. Dennoch ist er kein Anfängerhund: Er ist zurückhaltend gegenüber Menschen, kein Schmusehund, und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. In neuen Situationen oder bei lauten Geräuschen reagiert er ängstlich und zieht sich lieber zurück. Er ist stubenrein, nicht kastriert und kennt die Grundkommandos. Autofahrten bedeuten für ihn momentan noch großen Stress – hier ist geduldiges Training nötig. Für Ben suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die mit sensiblen und unsicheren Hunden umgehen können. Ein ruhiges, reizarmes Umfeld, Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und eine konsequente, aber liebevolle Führung sind die Grundlage dafür, dass Ben sich entwickeln und Vertrauen fassen kann. Er ist kein Hund für nebenbei – aber mit der richtigen Begleitung ein wunderbarer, kluger Gefährte, der seine Bezugsperson mit Loyalität und Lernfreude belohnen wird. Interesse an Ben? Dann freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht an:

About ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben”

What life with ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben” looks like

***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben” is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Lahr in Lahr.

An 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. 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 ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben”, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben”?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lahr handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben” on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “Ben” if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lahr 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 ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “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 ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “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 Lahr early rather than rehoming privately; they know ***Privatvermittlung*** Border Collie “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.
