Betty

Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Betty was surrendered to us because her partner animal had passed away and the owners wanted to give up keeping rabbits. The elderly lady is very curious and quite open to people. With her fellow rabbits, she gets along well as far as we can judge so far. Overall, she seems to be a rather quiet companion. In her home, there should already be a nice buck of similar age and a large enclosure or rabbit room waiting for her. Sufficient hiding places and enrichment opportunities should also be available

Betty wurde bei uns abgegeben, da ihr Partnertier verstorben war und man nun die Haltung von Kaninchen aufgeben wollte. Die betagte Dame ist sehr neugierig und Menschen gegenüber auch durchaus aufgeschlossen. Mit ihren Artgenossen verträgt sie sich soweit wir es bisher beurteilen können, recht gut. im großen und Ganzen scheint sie eine recht ruhige Zeitgenossin zu sein. In ihrem Zuhause sollte bereits ein nettes Böckchen in ähnlichem Alter und ein großes Gehege oder Kaninchenzimmer auf sie warten. Ausreichend Versteck- und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten sollten selbstverständlich auch zur Verfügung stehen

About Betty

What life with Betty looks like

Betty is a large senior rabbit waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

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 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 Betty, answered.

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