Milkyway

Male · Young · 3 years

Milkyway (Weight approx. 1.53kg, neutered) was dropped off with us together with another rabbit (Cookie) because a person has developed a pet hair allergy. Unfortunately, we had to separate Milkyway from his partner rabbit immediately as it was a female and he was unneutered. We are now looking for a new home for Milkyway with a kind rabbit lady. He is lively and curious and still has plenty of youthful energy. As Milkyway belongs to the breed "Widder," special attention must always be paid to his ear canals, as this breed is at high risk for ear infections. Currently, he is in indoor housing. If interested, please contact us via email () and include a few photos of your hutch and your rabbit's vaccination record. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Milkyway (Gewicht ca. 1,53kg, männlich kastriert) wurde zusammen mit einem weiteren Kaninchen (Cookie) bei uns abgegeben, da man eine Tierhaarallergie entwickelt habe. Leider mussten wir Milkyway sofort von seinem Partnerkaninchen trennen, da es sich um ein Weibchen handelte und er selbst unkastriert war. Für Milkyway suchen wir nun ein neues Zuhause bei einer netten Kaninchendame. Er ist munter und neugierig und hat auf jeden Fall noch ausreichend jugendliche Energie. Da Milkyway der Rasse "Widder" angehört, muss stets besonderes Augenmerk auf seine Gehörgänge gelegt werden, da diese Qualzucht ein starkes Risiko für Ohrenentzündungen mit sich bringt. Derzeit wohnt er in Innenhaltung. Bei Interesse kontaktieren Sie uns bitte per E-mail () und fügen direkt ein paar Fotos von Ihrem Gehege und vom Impfpass Ihres Kaninchens hinzu.

About Milkyway

What life with Milkyway looks like

Milkyway is a young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

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 Milkyway, answered.

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