Adopt Candace

Female · Young · 2 years

Candace was born at our animal shelter on May 25, 2024. Almost a year later, she was able to move into a new home together with her mother. Now, one year later, both are supposed to return to the animal shelter. To avoid this, we would like to try to find a new, suitable home for the two of them before that happens. Candace is a wild mix and therefore rather reserved. She doesn't want to be touched much, but will take food from your hand and will also approach people on her own. She prefers to observe everything calmly rather than being right in the middle of things. We wish Candace and her mother a home with understanding, patience, and a calm environment so that they can avoid returning to the animal shelter. If you are interested, please contact us with photos and measurements of their enclosure.

Candace wurde am 25.05.2024 bei uns im Tierheim geboren. Fast ein Jahr später durfte sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Mama in ein neues Zuhause ziehen. Nun wieder ein Jahr später sollen beide zurück ins Tierheim kommen. Um ihnen das zu ersparen, möchten wir versuchen, schon vorher ein neues, passendes Zuhause für die beiden zu finden. Candace ist ein Wildmix und entsprechend eher zurückhaltend. Sie möchte nicht viel angefasst werden, nimmt aber Futter aus der Hand und kommt auch von sich aus auf Menschen zu. Am liebsten beobachtet sie alles in Ruhe, statt aktiv mittendrin zu sein. Für Candace und ihre Mama wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Verständnis, Geduld und einem ruhigen Zuhause, damit ihnen der Weg zurück ins Tierheim erspart bleibt. Bei Interesse melden sie sich gerne unter mit Fotos und Maße vom Gehege.

About Candace

What life with Candace looks like

Candace is a young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Elmshorn in Elmshorn.

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 Candace, answered.

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