Elmo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

What a cute little rabbit, don't you think! The caretakers all find me very loving and gentle, and that's who I am. I'm very curious; when the caretakers aren't looking, I pop out to see what they're doing in my enclosure. I don't like being petted, as I find it too scary. But I do want to sniff around them if they sit quietly next to me. Since I do find people somewhat exciting, I can't live with young children. I really need a very quiet home with people who take my personality into account and let me be a happy rabbit. I'm looking for a loving female rabbit to live with me. Our first date will be here at the shelter. If you want to get to know me, email my caretakers. Stichting Dierenopvang Hengelo Zilverstraat 30 7554 NH Hengelo 46.75.18.812 RSIN:

Wat ben ik een schattig konijntje, vind je niet! De verzorgers vinden mij allemaal heel lief en zachtaardig. En dat ben ik ook. Heel nieuwsgierig ben ik, als de verzorgers niet kijken kom ik tevoorschijn en ga kijken wat ze in mijn verblijf gaan doen. Geaaid worden houd ik niet van, dat vind ik veel te eng. Maar ik wil wel aan hun snuffelen als ze stilletjes bij me gaan zitten. Omdat ik mensen toch wel wat spannend vind kan ik niet bij jonge kinderen gaan wonen. Ik heb echt behoefte aan een heel rustig huisje met mensen die rekening houden met mijn karakter en mij lekker konijn laten zijn. Ik zoek een lief konijnen-vrouwtje waar ik mee samen kan gaan wonen. De eerste date doen we hier op de opvang. Wil je mij leren kennen, mail dan naar met mijn verzorgers.

About Elmo

What life with Elmo looks like

Elmo is a adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Dierenopvang Hengelo in Hengelo.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elmo, answered.

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