Adopt Moritz

Male

Moritz is a 2-year-old Lionhead rabbit, male and neutered. Unfortunately, he lost his partner early on and has been very lonely since then. He is a friendly, trusting little guy who knows and values human contact. Due to a dental misalignment, his front teeth had to be removed as they grew in all directions. He copes well with this - his food is cut into strips. He is fed exclusively with fresh or green food. Moritz is looking for a loving home in indoor housing with an existing female rabbit, so that he can have company again.

Moritz ist ein 2 Jahre altes Löwenköpfchen, männlich und kastriert. Leider hat er früh seinen Partner verloren und ist seitdem sehr einsam. Er ist ein zutraulicher, freundlicher kleiner Kerl, der den Kontakt zum Menschen kennt und schätzt. Aufgrund einer Zahnfehlstellung mussten ihm die Vorderzähne entfernt werden, da sie in alle Richtungen gewachsen sind. Damit kommt er gut zurecht – sein Futter bekommt er in Streifen geschnitten. Er wird ausschließlich mit Frisch- bzw. Grünfutter ernährt. Moritz wünscht sich ein liebevolles Zuhause in Innenhaltung bei einer bereits vorhandenen Kaninchendame, damit er wieder Gesellschaft hat.

About Moritz

What life with Moritz looks like

Moritz is a small adult rabbit waiting at BMT Tierheim Elisabethenhof in Germany.

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 Moritz, answered.

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