Kaninchen Bene

Male · Baby

Bene is searching for a new home after the loss of his best friend. Our sweet Bene came to us through a governmental seizure. Back then, he and his friend Gustav sat together in a tiny cage, waiting day by day for a second chance. The two were inseparable, having endured much together and supported each other. The loss of Gustav, whom we had to let go on June 8, 2026, hit us hard. Since then, Bene has been waiting alone for people who would like to give him a second chance at security. Due to his close bond with Gustav, we can imagine that he might also harmonize well with a male fellow animal. The two were like fire and ice, which is why we hope that Bene can find another loving companion. Now, we wish for this special treasure a loving home where he can arrive, gain trust, and be happy again. If you would like to give Bene a new, beautiful home, please contact us with photos and measurements of his enclosure.

Bene sucht nach dem Verlust seines besten Freundes ein neues Zuhause Unser süßer Bene kam durch eine behördliche Sicherstellung zu uns. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Gustav saß er damals in einem winzigen Käfig und wartete Tag für Tag auf eine zweite Chance. Die beiden waren unzertrennlich, haben gemeinsam vieles durchgestanden und sich gegenseitig Halt gegeben. Umso schwerer traf uns der Verlust von Gustav, den wir am 08.06.2026 gehen lassen mussten. Seitdem wartet Bene nun allein auf Menschen, die ihm wieder Geborgenheit schenken möchten. Aufgrund seiner engen Bindung zu Gustav können wir uns gut vorstellen, dass er auch mit einem männlichen Artgenossen harmonieren würde. Die beiden waren wie Pech und Schwefel, weshalb wir hoffen, dass Bene erneut einen lieben Gefährten an seiner Seite finden darf. Nun wünschen wir uns für diesen besonderen Schatz ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er ankommen, Vertrauen fassen und wieder glücklich sein kann. Wer Bene eine neues, schönes Zuhause geben möchte meldet sich unser mit Fotos und Maße vom Gehege.

About Kaninchen Bene

What life with Kaninchen Bene looks like

Kaninchen Bene is a puppy/kitten rabbit waiting at Tierheim Elmshorn in Elmshorn.

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 Kaninchen Bene, answered.

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