Mabel

Female · Senior · 12 years

Mabel is a friendly lady who enjoys observing her surroundings. She can be a bit reserved at first, but once she feels comfortable, she becomes curious and takes a closer look. She finds petting a bit scary at the moment, but with time and patience, she will likely enjoy it more. She doesn't like being lifted up; she prefers to keep all four paws firmly on the ground. What really makes Mabel happy? A tasty portion of vegetables! We are looking for a spacious indoor or outdoor home for Mabel with a social, stable ram who can keep her company. Mabel can be placed with children aged 12 and up.

Mabel is een leuke, vriendelijke dame die graag in de gaten houdt wat er om haar heen gebeurt. In het begin kan ze wat afwachtend zijn, maar zodra ze zich op haar gemak voelt, komt ze nieuwsgierig een kijkje nemen. Aaien vindt ze op dit moment nog spannend, al is de verwachting dat ze dit met tijd en geduld steeds meer zal waarderen. Opgetild worden is niet haar favoriete bezigheid; ze houdt haar vier pootjes liever stevig op de grond. Waar je Mabel echt blij mee maakt? Een lekker portie groenten! We zoeken voor Mabel een ruim binnen- of buitenverblijf met een sociale, stabiele rammelaar die haar gezelschap kan bieden. Mabel kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar oud geplaatst worden.

About Mabel

What life with Mabel looks like

Mabel is a senior rabbit waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mabel, answered.

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