Bella

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hello, we are Bella and Murphy and we are looking for a nice little home together. As you can see from the photos, we are two very beautiful and lovely lop-eared rabbits. Because we are brother and sister, we look very similar, but you can tell us apart by looking at our ears. I, Bella, have one of my ears always a bit mischievously standing up. And my brother Murphy has his ears completely hanging down. Unfortunately, we have ended up at Dierenopvang Hengelo for the second time in our lives. Now we naturally hope to find a good home soon. In terms of character, we are very curious. Petting and picking us up is not so nice for us, because we are not used to it and we also did not have such good experiences with it in the beginning of our lives. Together we are very affectionate and lie together regularly and groom each other. We are looking for a kind owner who allows us to just be ourselves and who can give us plenty of space to run and jump. For a meeting with us, you can email our caretakers.

Hallo, Ik ben Bella, Ik ben een prachtig en zachtaardig konijntje. Ook ben ik heel nieuwsgierig. Aaien en oppakken vind ik niet zo fijn, want hier ben ik niet zo aan gewend en daar heb ik niet zulke goede ervaringen mee gehad in het begin van mijn leven. Op de opvang ben ik al wel een beetje open gebloeid en durf nu voer uit de hand van de verzorgers te eten. Toen ik op de opvang kwam was ik samen met mijn broertje. Ik heb hele mooie en fijne jaren samen met hem gehad, ik was erg aan hem gehecht. Helaas werd hij ziek en heb ik afscheid van hem moeten nemen. Nu zoek ik dus een nieuw vriendje om mee samen te mogen zijn. Ik ben niet geschikt voor een druk gezin met kleine kinderen omdat ik stressgevoelig ben. Het liefst zou ik rustig buiten wonen, of in een aparte konijnenkamer in huis. Ik zoek een lief baasje bij wie ik gewoon mezelf mag zijn en die mij lekker de ruimte kan bieden om te rennen en springen. Wil jij met mij op date, maak een afspraak via mail met mijn verzorgers.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a small adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Dierenopvang Hengelo in Hengelo.

Rabbits are social animals — most shelters recommend adopting them in bonded pairs rather than alone. They need fresh hay daily, several hours of out-of-cage time, and rabbit-safe spaces to explore. They live eight to twelve years, longer than many people expect.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenopvang Hengelo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenopvang Hengelo 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 Bella already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most rabbits 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 Bella 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 Dierenopvang Hengelo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella 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 (NL). 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.
