Adopt Richard

Male · Young · 3 years

Richard (Weight approx. 1.8kg, neuter quarantine until 01.05.26) arrived with us as a found animal, so we do not know his background or exact age. He was likely abandoned as he was found roaming freely and had to be secured by animal rescue. Richard is now looking for a home with a female rabbit. He is curious and friendly. So far, Richard lives in indoor housing. If interested, please contact us via email () and include a few photos of your hutch, as well as one from your rabbit's vaccination record.

Richard (Gewicht ca. 1,8kg, Kastrationsquarantäne bis 01.05.26) kam als Fundtier zu uns, daher sind uns seine Vorgeschichte und sein tatsächliches Alter nicht bekannt. Er wurde vermutlich ausgesetzt, da er frei herumlief und durch die Tierrettung gesichert werden musste. Richard ist nun auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause bei einem Kaninchenweibchen. Er ist neugierig und lieb. Bisher lebt Richard in Innenhaltung. Bei Interesse kontaktieren Sie uns bitte per E-Mail () und fügen direkt ein paar Fotos von Ihrem Gehege, sowie eines vom Impfpass Ihres Kaninchens hinzu.

About Richard

What life with Richard looks like

Richard is a small 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.

Note from the shelter: In castration quarantine until 01.05.26

🇩🇪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 Richard, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Richard?
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 Richard on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Richard 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 Richard 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 Richard 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 Richard 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.
