Chilly

Male

Chilly was rescued by an animal welfare organization and brought to us. The little guy is a bit skeptical about people, but unfortunately we don't know what he's experienced. If you sit down with him, he's very cautious and curious. A confident partner would be good for him. Chilly was spayed on 8/25 and therefore needs to be patient a little longer until he can go to a girl. But you can fall in love with him now.

Chilly wurde von einer Tierschutzorganisation gerettet und zu uns gebracht. Der kleine Mann ist etwas skeptisch, was Menschen betrifft, aber wir wissen ja leider nicht, was er erlebt hat. Setzt man sich zu ihm rein, ist er sehr vorsichtig und neugierig. Eine souveräne Partnerin würde ihm bestimmt gut tun. Chilly wurde am 25.8. kastriert und muss deshalb noch ein kleines bisschen Geduld aufbringen, bis er zu einem Mädel darf. Aber verlieben darf man sich jetzt schon.

About Chilly

What life with Chilly looks like

Chilly is a adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Chilly, answered.

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