Colin

Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Meet Colin, a sweet and gentle boy who is ready to enjoy all the space, comfort and companionship he deserves. Having spent much of his life in a small hutch without access to a run, he would love a home where he can explore, stretch his legs and discover just how wonderful life can be. Colin previously lived with a male rabbit companion, who sadly passed away a few years ago. We would love to see him find happiness again with a suitable bunny friend. Colin does have arthritis, but this is currently being managed with a short course of medication. Our team have trained him to take it without any fuss, and Thornberry will provide everything he needs for the remaining two to three weeks. As Colin is unable to be neutered due to his age, he will need to be carefully bonded with a neutered male rabbit. We would love to see him enjoying the comfort and companionship of a suitable bunny friend once again.

About Colin

What life with Colin looks like

Colin is a small senior animal waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Colin far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Colin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Colin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Thornberry Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Colin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Colin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Colin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 Colin 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 Thornberry Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Colin 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 (EN). 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.
