Bolero

Male · Young · 3 years

Bolero came back to us, unfortunately, because he didn't get along with his new companion. Now the sweet, somewhat shy rabbit is looking for a suitable home with a nice female companion. When there is fresh food, Bolero comes to look curiously, but remains cautious. He needs some time to gain trust and feel safe in his new environment. Once he has settled in, he shows himself to be a calm and pleasant roommate. For Bolero, we wish a spacious, varied home with plenty of space, various hiding and activity options, as well as a suitable digging area. With patient people and a suitable female rabbit, he may soon find a new home.

Bolero kam leider zu uns zurück, da es mit seinem neuen Gspändli nicht harmoniert hat. Nun ist der süsse, etwas schüchterne Kaninchenmann erneut auf der Suche nach einem passenden Zuhause bei einer netten weiblichen Artgenossin. Wenn es frisches Futter gibt, kommt Bolero neugierig schauen, bleibt dabei aber noch etwas vorsichtig. Er braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und sich in seiner neuen Umgebung sicher zu fühlen. Hat er sich eingelebt, zeigt er sich als ruhiger und angenehmer Mitbewohner der auch mal etwas aus der Hand nimmt. Für Bolero wünschen wir uns ein grosszügiges, abwechslungsreich eingerichtetes Zuhause mit viel Platz, verschiedenen Versteck- und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten sowie einer geeigneten Buddelmöglichkeit. Bei geduldigen Menschen und einer passenden Kaninchendame darf er hoffentlich schon bald wieder richtig ankommen.

About Bolero

What life with Bolero looks like

Bolero is a young adult rabbit waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Switzerland

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bolero, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bolero?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zürcher Tierschutz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bolero on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bolero if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a rabbit can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Zürcher Tierschutz what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Bolero already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a rabbit comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Zürcher Tierschutz directly what is included and what Bolero still needs.
What happens if Bolero 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 Zürcher Tierschutz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bolero 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.
