Adopt Karl

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Name: Karl. Gender: male, neutered. Age: born around January 2025. Karl is a "Burgunder" rabbit. Initially, he was reported to the veterinary office because it was observed that he was not being treated well. However, it turned out that he had wandered off and so Karl came to us. And honestly, he has stolen everyone's heart. He is a wonderful, big bunny and it really pains us that he has to live alone with us. But Karl is a "Schnupferkaninchen" and can only live with other Schnupferkaninchen because he is potentially permanently contagious. This, however, does not change the fact that he is simply a very sweet guy. He has been checked by a specialist veterinarian, and a CT scan was also performed to rule out causes such as foreign bodies in the nasal area, etc.

Name: Karl. Geschlecht: männlich, kastriertAlter: geb. ca. Januar 2025 Karl ist ein "Burgunder"-Kaninchen. Ursprünglich wurde er dem Veterinäramt gemeldet, da beobachtet worden war, dass er nicht gut mit ihm umgegangen wurde. Dann stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass er zugelaufen war und so kam Karl zu uns. Und ehrlich gesagt, hat er sich bei allen ins Herz geschlichen. Er ist ein toller großer Kaninchenmann und es tut uns wirklich weh, dass er bei uns alleine leben muss. Aber Karl ist ein "Schnupferkaninchen" und kann nur mit anderen Schnupferkaninchen zusammenleben, da er potentiell dauerhaft ansteckend ist. Das ändert aber gar nichts daran, dass er einfach ein ganz lieber Kerl ist. Tierärztlich ist er von einer Fachtierärztin durchgecheckt und es wurde auch ein CT gefertigt, um Ursachen wie Fremdkörper im Nasenbereich etc. ausschließen zu können. Einer

About Karl

What life with Karl looks like

Karl is a large young adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierschutzverein Oelsnitz/Erzgeb. e.V. in Germany.

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 Karl, answered.

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