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 has gained confidence. Since he has been in a foster home, he has shown he has a very sweet nature – he will run over to greet his foster carers and will sit up once he is familiar with you and will allow you to stroke him (and hope for treats!). He will hopefully further gain his confidence after being bonded with another rabbit. George is a very clean boy in his pen – almost entirely using his tray for toileting. He keeps himself entertained playing with his toys and ripping up cardboard boxes. He also loves to seek out treats which have been hidden for him. As he is an albino, his vision isn’t the best so he get spooked by sudden movements and may thump. 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.

About Gorgeous George

What life with Gorgeous George looks like

Gorgeous George is a small 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.
