Elly

Mixed Breed · Female

Female, age unknown Elly - curious explorer searching for her home Rabbit girl Elly came to us as part of a seizure along with some of her peers. Despite the not particularly pleasant circumstances from which she comes, Elly made a good impression on us from the start in terms of her health and quickly showed what a lively little personality she has. Elly is a very open and curious rabbit lady. She doesn't want to observe new things from a safe distance for a long time - she would rather know immediately what there is to discover. Unknown areas are explored with curiosity and she also shows interest and self-confidence in her surroundings. Her exact age is unfortunately not known, but we estimate Elly to be still quite young. Elly was actually supposed to be integrated into an existing rabbit group with us. Unfortunately, it turned out that she was bullied by the other rabbits and could not feel comfortable in the group. Therefore, she is currently living alone temporarily. This should of course not be a permanent state for the social rabbit lady. Therefore, we wish Elly a home with a suitable partner animal or in a harmonious group, where she can find a connection and feel safe. Her previous experiences in the group do not mean that she is fundamentally incompatible - sometimes the chemistry simply doesn't work between rabbits. Anyone who wants to offer a curious, open and adventurous rabbit lady a suitable home should definitely get to know Elly. She is already waiting to discover not only her new surroundings, but hopefully also the right rabbit friends soon.

weiblich, Alter unbekannt Elly – neugierige Entdeckerin auf der Suche nach ihrem Zuhause Kaninchenmädchen Elly kam gemeinsam mit einigen Artgenossen im Rahmen einer Beschlagnahmung zu uns. Trotz der nicht gerade schönen Umstände, aus denen sie stammt, machte Elly bei uns von Anfang an einen guten gesundheitlichen Eindruck und zeigte schnell, was für eine aufgeweckte kleine Persönlichkeit in ihr steckt. Elly ist eine sehr aufgeschlossene und neugierige Kaninchendame. Neues wird von ihr nicht erst lange aus sicherer Entfernung beobachtet – sie möchte am liebsten sofort wissen, was es zu entdecken gibt. Unbekannte Bereiche werden neugierig erkundet und auch gegenüber ihrer Umgebung zeigt sie sich interessiert und selbstbewusst. Ihr genaues Alter ist leider nicht bekannt, wir schätzen Elly jedoch noch als eher jung ein. Eigentlich sollte Elly bei uns in eine bestehende Kaninchengruppe integriert werden. Leider stellte sich heraus, dass sie dort von den anderen Kaninchen gemobbt wurde und sich in der Gruppe nicht wohlfühlen konnte. Deshalb lebt sie momentan vorübergehend allein. Das soll natürlich kein Dauerzustand für die soziale Kaninchendame bleiben. Für Elly wünschen wir uns daher ein Zuhause bei einem passenden Partnertier oder in einer harmonischen Gruppe, in der sie Anschluss findet und sich sicher fühlen kann. Ihre bisherigen Erfahrungen in der Gruppe bedeuten keineswegs, dass sie grundsätzlich unverträglich ist – manchmal stimmt zwischen Kaninchen schlicht die Chemie nicht. Wer einer neugierigen, offenen und unternehmungslustigen Kaninchendame ein artgerechtes Zuhause bieten möchte, sollte Elly unbedingt kennenlernen. Sie wartet schon darauf, nicht nur ihre neue Umgebung, sondern hoffentlich auch bald die passenden Kaninchenfreunde zu entdecken.

What life with Elly looks like

Elly is a small adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierheim Vaihingen in Vaihingen an der Enz.

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 Elly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Vaihingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elly if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Vaihingen 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 Elly 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 Elly 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 Vaihingen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elly 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.
