Leia

Female · Adult · 4 years

Leia is in foster care in her new home. Leia came to us with 6 other rabbits. The little lionhead lady is initially rather reserved and cautious and needs some time to get used to new people and environments. With a little time and quiet, however, she gradually becomes more trusting. Then she is quite curious and interested. She takes food from the hand and is always there to watch when we clean. For her, we wish for a home with people who will give her time to arrive in peace and thaw at her own pace. If Leia has piqued your interest, we look forward to a meaningful email with pictures of the future living situation. We only mediate in appropriate care (2 rabbits need min. 6 sqm) and not in single housing. General interest inquiry: No diseases known.

Leia ist Probewohnen im neuen Zuhause. Leia kam mit 6 weiteren Kaninchen zu uns. Die kleine Löwenköpfchen Dame ist anfangs eher zurückhaltend und vorsichtig und braucht etwas Zeit sich an neue Menschen und Umgebungen zu gewöhnen. Mit ein bisschen Zeit und Ruhe wird sie jedoch nach und nach zutraulicher. Dann ist sie durchaus neugierig und interessiert. Sie nimmt Futter aus der Hand entgegen und ist auch wenn wir putzen immer dabei um zu zuschauen. Für sie wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit Menschen die ihr erstmal die Zeit geben in Ruhe ankommen zu dürfen und in ihrem Tempo aufzutauen. Wenn Leia Ihr Interesse geweckt hat freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftig Email mit Bildern der zukünftigen Haltung. Wir vermitteln grundsätzlich nur in artgerechte Haltung (2 Kaninchen benötigen min. 6qm²) und nicht in Einzelhaltung. Allgemeine Interessentenanfrage:

About Leia

What life with Leia looks like

Leia is a small adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

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 Leia, answered.

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