Adopt Dahlia

Female

Dahlia is a rabbit with a calm and rather dominant temperament. Very social with other rabbits, she is still timid when interacting with humans. With a little patience, she can be persuaded by some treats. Her passion? To observe your every move from a distance. Rabbits are social animals, they live in groups and should not live in cages. Adopting Dahlia means committing to her living in the company of at least one other rabbit. To help the change of environment and cohabitation go as smoothly as possible, we can connect you with an official volunteer to support you.

Dahlia est une lapine au tempérament calme et plutôt dominant. Très sociable avec les lapines, elle est encore craintive au contact des humains. Avec un peu de patience, elle peut se laisser convaincre par quelques friandises. Sa passion ? Analyser de loin vos moindres gestes. Les lapins sont des animaux grégaires, ils vivent en collectivité et ne doivent pas vivre en cage. Adopter Dahlia c'est s'engager à ce qu'elle vive en compagnie d'au moins un autre lapin. Pour permettre que le changement d'environnement et la cohabitation se passent au mieux, nous pouvons vous mettre en relation avec une bénévole assermentée pour vous accompagner.

About Dahlia

What life with Dahlia looks like

Dahlia is a adult rabbit waiting at Bouguenais) in Nantes.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dahlia, answered.

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