Adopt Melody

Female · Young · 1 year

Melody is a female mini lop rabbit that arrived at Bristol ARC as a stray. She is a rabbit that loves people and will run up to you when you enter a room. She very much enjoys running around and show off her impressive binkies when she is happy. With this in mind she will need a large indoor enclosure where she has space to stretch her legs and get the zoomies. She is very curious of people so will come and sit next to you at veg time. She will also accept a fuss from her carers when she is feeling relaxed. She is a confident rabbit and has been described as more like a dog, in that, she likes to be your side and will happily climb onto your lap. We are looking for a home where Melody can be slowly introduced and bonded with an existing neutered male rabbit. She is very much a rabbit that enjoys human and rabbit company alike.

About Melody

What life with Melody looks like

Melody is a large young adult rabbit waiting at Bristol Animal Rescue Centre in Bristol.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs large enclosure with space to run and exercise. Requires bonding with neutered male rabbit companion.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Melody, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Melody?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bristol Animal Rescue Centre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Melody on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Melody if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bristol Animal Rescue Centre 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Melody 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 Melody 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 Bristol Animal Rescue Centre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Melody 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 (EN). 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.
