Leopold

Male · Adult · 6 years

Leopold originally came to us as a found animal, presumably he was abandoned. He has bladder gravel and unfortunately chronic rhinitis, which can flare up again under stress or a weakened immune system. He was vaccinated and neutered with us and now sits together with Pastinake in a rabbit enclosure. We estimate him to be around 6 years old. His new home should have at least 6 square meters, and there should also be many hiding places and digging opportunities.

Leopold kam ursprünglich als Fundtier zu uns, vermutlich wurde er ausgesetzt. Er hat Blasengrieß und leider chronischen Schnupfen, der bei Stress oder geschwächtem Immunsystem wieder aufflammen kann. Er wurde bei uns geimpft, kastriert und sitzt nun gemeinsam mit Pastinake in einer Kaninchenbucht. Wir schätzen ihn auf ca. 6 Jahre. Sein neues Zuhause sollte mindestens 6qm haben, außerdem sollten viele Versteckmöglichkeiten und Buddelmöglichkeiten vorhanden sein.

About Leopold

What life with Leopold looks like

Leopold is an adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Lübeck in Lübeck.

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

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leopold, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leopold?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübeck handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leopold on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leopold if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a rabbit can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierheim Lübeck what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Leopold already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a rabbit comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierheim Lübeck directly what is included and what Leopold still needs.
What happens if Leopold 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 Lübeck early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leopold 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.
