Adopt Po’

Mixed Breed · Male · 2 years

" I had taken him but I didn't think it would be so demanding": this is the justification with which Po’ was surrendered by the owner to the OIPA volunteers of Brescia. A little white and a little red, from which the name, this wonderful little rabbit is looking for a new home, a welcoming place where he can live freely, cared for with the attention that an exotic animal like him requires. Already spayed, Po’ eats fresh vegetables and hay as much as he wants and meanwhile waits to find a family curious to get to know his nature. Po’ is in the province of Brescia and will be placed after the proper pre and post adoption process.

“Lo avevo preso ma non pensavo fosse così impegnativo”: questa la giustificazione con cui è stato ceduto Po’ ai volontari dell’OIPA di Brescia. Un po’ bianco un po’ rosso, da cui il nome, questo splendido coniglietto cerca una nuova casa, un luogo accogliente dove possa vivere in libertà, accudito con le attenzioni che richiede un animale esotico come lui. Già sterilizzato, Po’ mangia a volontà verdure fresche e fieno e nel frattempo aspetta di trovare una famiglia curiosa di conoscere la sua natura. Po’ si trova in provincia di Brescia e sarà affidato dopo regolare iter di pre e post affido.

About Po’

What life with Po’ looks like

Po’ is a small adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at OIPA Italy in Rome.

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: Requires proper exotic animal care and understanding of rabbit needs

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Po’, answered.

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