Adopt Murphy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

We are Bella and Murphy and we are looking for a nice home together. As you can see from the photos, we are two very beautiful and cute lop-eared rabbits. Because we are brother and sister, we look very similar, but you can tell us apart by looking at our ears. I, Murphy, have my ears hanging all the way down and my sister Bella has one of her ears always slightly mischievously up. Unfortunately, we have ended up at Dierenopvang Hengelo for the second time in our lives. Of course, we hope to find a good home soon. In terms of character, we are very curious. Petting and picking us up is not so nice for us, because we are not used to it and we also did not have such good experiences with this in the beginning of our lives. Together we are very loving and often lie together and groom each other. We are looking for a kind owner who allows us to be ourselves and who can give us plenty of space to run and jump. For an introduction to us, you can email our caregivers. Stichting Dierenopvang Hengelo Zilverstraat 30 7554 NH Hengelo 46 .75.18.812 RSIN:

Wij zijn Bella en Murphy en wij zoeken samen een fijn huisje. Zoals u kunt zien op de foto’s zijn wij twee hele mooie en schattige hangoorkonijntjes. Omdat wij broertje en zusje zijn, lijken wij erg op elkaar, maar u kunt ons uit elkaar houden door te kijken naar onze oortjes. Ik, Murphy, heb mijn oortjes helemaal naar beneden hangen en mijn zusje Bella heeft een van haar oortjes altijd een beetje ondeugend omhoog staan. Helaas zijn wij voor de tweede keer in ons leven bij Dierenopvang Hengelo beland. Nu hopen we natuurlijk dat we gauw weer een goed huisje zullen vinden. Qua karakter zijn wij erg nieuwsgierig. Aaien en oppakken vinden wij niet zo fijn, want hier zijn wij niet zo aan gewend en ook hebben wij hier niet zulke goede ervaringen mee gehad in het begin van ons leven. Samen zijn wij erg lief en liggen wij regelmatig samen en wassen elkaar. Wij zoeken een lief baasje bij wie wij gewoon onszelf mogen zijn en die ons lekker de ruimte kan bieden om te rennen en springen. Voor een kennismaking met ons, kunt u mailen naar onze verzorgers.

About Murphy

What life with Murphy looks like

Murphy is a adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Dierenopvang Hengelo in Hengelo.

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 Murphy, answered.

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