Penelope

Female

Rasse: StallKaninchen Geschlecht: weiblich Im Tierheim seit: 2026 Penelope ist eine absolute Zaubermaus und sehr untypisch für Kaninchen (Fluchttiere) ein sehr verschmustes Exemplar. Sie ist noch nicht ganz ausgewachsen und wird, laut ihrer Ohren, ihre Endgröße erst noch erreichen. Aktuell ist sie bei uns im Innenraum untergebracht und darf daher erst im warmen Frühjahr in ein gesichertes Außengehege ziehen. Ein Kaninchenzimmer oder vergleichbare, artgerechte Unterbringung, wäre aber denkbar und toll. Natürlich wird Penelope nur zu passender, vorhandener Kaninchengesellschaft vermittelt oder zusammen mit unserem Böckchen Felix. Um Penelope kennenzulernen, kommen Sie gerne während unserer

About Penelope

What life with Penelope looks like

Penelope is an adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Herford in Herford.

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

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Penelope, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Penelope?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Herford handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Penelope on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Penelope if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a rabbit can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierheim Herford what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Penelope already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a rabbit comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierheim Herford directly what is included and what Penelope still needs.
What happens if Penelope 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 Herford early rather than rehoming privately; they know Penelope 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.
