Rocket

Male · Young · 1 year

Maggi and Rocket came to the shelter because their previous owner no longer had enough time to care for the two rabbits. It soon became clear that Maggi has a strong character and communicates very clearly when something doesn't suit her. At the same time, she is curious, open-minded and also enjoys extensive cuddles. Rocket is the calmer and more sociable of the two. He gets along very well with Maggi's confident nature and is not fazed by it. He is still a bit more reserved towards people. However, he has no problem with people approaching him calmly and also shows curiosity and interest. Maggi and Rocket are looking for a loving home together with a spacious and varied enclosure.

Maggi und Rocket kamen ins Tierheim, weil ihr bisheriger Besitzer nicht mehr genügend Zeit hatte, sich um die beiden Kaninchen zu kümmern. Schon bald zeigte sich, dass Maggi einen starken Charakter hat und sehr klar kommuniziert, wenn ihr etwas nicht passt. Gleichzeitig ist sie neugierig, aufgeschlossen und geniesst auch ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Rocket ist der ruhigere und geselligere der beiden. Mit Maggis selbstbewusster Art kommt er bestens zurecht und lässt sich davon nicht aus der Ruhe bringen. Menschen gegenüber ist er noch etwas zurückhaltender. Er hat jedoch keine Probleme damit, wenn man sich ihm ruhig nähert, und zeigt sich ebenfalls neugierig und interessiert. Sie liegen oft zusammen und putzen sich gegenseitig. Maggi und Rocket wünschen sich gemeinsam ein liebevolles Zuhause mit einem grosszügigen und abwechslungsreich gestalteten Gehege.

About Rocket

What life with Rocket looks like

Rocket is a young adult rabbit waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rocket, answered.

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