Dennis

Male · Young · 3 years

Dennis (weight approx. 2kg, male neutered) came to us as a found animal, so we do not know his history or his actual age. We assume he was abandoned because he came to us with very long claws. We are now looking for a home for him with a nice female rabbit. Dennis is sweet and curious, but can also be a bit grumpy when he doesn't feel like it. He also likes to dig. Since Dennis belongs to the "Lop" breed, special attention must always be paid to his ear canals, as this breed is prone to ear infections. We suspect that Dennis may be deaf due to his coat color and breed, as he has not reacted to sounds so far. He currently lives indoors with us. If you are interested, please contact us by email and attach a few photos of your enclosure and your rabbit's vaccination record.

DE·Show original

Dennis (Gewicht ca. 2kg, männlich kastriert) kam als Fundtier zu uns, daher ist uns seine Vorgeschichte und sein tatsächliches Alter nicht bekannt. Wir gehen davon aus, dass er ausgesetzt wurde, da er mit sehr langen Krallen zu uns kam. Nun suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause bei einem netten Kaninchenweibchen. Dennis ist lieb und neugierig, kann aber auch etwas mürrisch sein, wenn es ihm gerade nicht passt. Er buddelt zudem gerne. Da Dennis der Rasse "Widder" angehört, muss stets besonderes Augenmerk auf seine Gehörgänge gelegt werden, da diese Qualzucht ein starkes Risiko für Ohrenentzündungen mit sich bringt. Wir haben die Vermutung, dass Dennis aufgrund der Fellfarbe und Rasse taub sein könnte, da er auf Geräusche bisher nicht reagiert. Aktuell lebt er bei uns in Innenhaltung. Bei Interesse kontaktieren Sie uns bitte per E-mail () und fügen direkt ein paar Fotos von Ihrem Gehege und vom Impfpass Ihres Kaninchens hinzu.

About Dennis

What life with Dennis looks like

Dennis is a young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

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 Dennis, answered.

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