Cookie und Elli

Mixed Breed · Female · Baby

Cookie (beige, white) and Ellie (tri-colored) have found each other after Cookie has lost his home twice already. Therefore, there should be no more experiments here and Cookie and Ellie are only available as a pair. Cookie likes to defend his food and territory, but Ellie doesn't let anyone take the butter off her bread or the carrot out of her bowl and gets along fine with that. Cookie had ear problems in the past. After various examinations and veterinary checks, he now receives an ear rinse once a week for prevention, which he tolerates well. Since this has become established, he gets along well with it. However, we observe that he doesn't react to noises and we therefore have to assume that he is almost deaf. Ellie's ears are okay, but her teeth are not. Unfortunately, she is a so-called "tooth rabbit". Her lower right teeth had to be removed and since there is no longer a counter bite, she needs to have her upper teeth trimmed by a veterinarian approximately every 8 weeks on this side. They are not litter trained. We are looking for people with a big rabbit heart who are not afraid of the challenge. Preferably with a really big outdoor enclosure where Cookie and Ellie can be active. Status: October 2026

Name: Cookie. Geschlecht: männlich, kastriertAlter: geb. ca. Dez. 2020. Name: Ellie. Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriertAlter: geb. ca. Sept. 2019 Cookie (beige, weiß) und Ellie (dreifarbig) haben sich gesucht und gefunden, nachdem Cookie schon 2 x sein Zuhause verloren hat. Daher sollte es hier keine Experimente mehr geben und daher sind Cookie und Ellie nur im Doppelpack zu haben. Cookie verteidigt gerne Futter und Revier, aber Ellie lässt sich die Butter nicht vom Brot bzw. die Möhre nicht aus dem Napf nehmen und kommt damit prima klar. Cookie hatte in der Vergangenheit Probleme mit den Ohren. Nach diversen Untersuchungen und tierärztlichen Abklärungen, erhält er nun einmal in der Woche eine Ohrspülung zur Prävention, die er sich gut gefallen lässt. Seitdem sich das eingespielt hat, kommt er damit gut zurecht. Allerdings beobachten wir, dass er auf Geräusche nicht reagiert und wir müssen daher davon ausgehen, dass er nahezu taub ist. Bei Ellie sind zwar die Ohren O.K., aber dafür die Zähne nicht. Sie ist leider ein sogenanntes "Zahnkaninchen". Ihr mussten die unteren rechten Zähne entfernt werden und da nun kein Gegenbiss mehr vorhanden ist, muss sie auf dieser Seite ca. alle 8 Wochen die oberen Zähne durch einen Tierarzt gekürzt bekommen. Stubenrein sind sie nicht. Wir wünschen uns für die Beiden Menschen mit großem Hasen-Herz, die die Herausforderung nicht scheuen. Am liebsten mit einem richtig großen Außengehege, in dem Cookie und Ellie aktiv sein können. Stand: Oktober 2026

About Cookie und Elli

What life with Cookie und Elli looks like

Cookie und Elli is a large young mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierschutzverein Oelsnitz/Erzgeb. e.V. in Germany.

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

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 Cookie und Elli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cookie und Elli?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Oelsnitz/Erzgeb. e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cookie und Elli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cookie und Elli 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 Tierschutzverein Oelsnitz/Erzgeb. e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Cookie und Elli 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 Tierschutzverein Oelsnitz/Erzgeb. e.V. directly what is included and what Cookie und Elli still needs.
What happens if Cookie und Elli 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 Tierschutzverein Oelsnitz/Erzgeb. e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cookie und Elli 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.
