Adopt Gorgeous George

Male · Young · 1 year

Gorgeous George is a 15 month old male rabbit that came in to us when his owner could no longer care for him. Initially nervous, but now George is gaining confidence. He runs over to greet people and once he is comfortable with you, will allow you to stroke him. As he is an albino, his vision isn’t the best so he get spooked by sudden movements and may thump. He likes his own space but hopefully after being bonded to another rabbit he will gain his confidence. We are ideally looking for an indoor home as Gorgeous George is used to being inside. He will need to be bonded with an existing neutered female and ideally the adopters will have experience of bonding. He is a sassy rabbit with a big personality so will be a bit of a challenge initially. If he feels that you have crossed a line, he has been known to have little tantrum and sometimes throws his toys!

About Gorgeous George

What life with Gorgeous George looks like

Gorgeous George is a large young adult rabbit waiting at Bristol Animal Rescue Centre in Bristol.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs bonding with neutered female rabbit, territorial behavior, handling issues

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gorgeous George, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gorgeous George?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bristol Animal Rescue Centre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gorgeous George on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gorgeous George if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bristol Animal Rescue Centre 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Gorgeous George 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 Gorgeous George 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 Bristol Animal Rescue Centre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gorgeous George 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 (EN). 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.
