ROONEY

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Two-year-old large rabbits with a unique start in life: we rescued them from a laboratory. They have never experienced family life or the small joys of everyday life. Very close and accustomed to living together, they must be adopted by two. Their presence by each other's side is essential to reassure them and help them gain confidence. Still not very accustomed to human contact, they will need patience, gentleness, and time to learn to trust their new family. Fortunately, they are very food-motivated! Food is a great way to start building a bond with them, always at their own pace and without rushing them. They now deserve to discover a real family life in a loving home that respects their needs. Little hearts to tame! Come meet them directly at the shelter!

Âgés de 2 ans, ces 4 grands lapins ont connu un début de vie particulier : nous les avons récupérés auprès d’un laboratoire. Ils n’ont donc jamais connu la vie en famille ni les petits bonheurs du quotidien. Très proches et habitués à vivre ensemble, ils devront être adoptés par deux. Leur présence l’un auprès de l’autre est essentielle pour les rassurer et les aider à prendre confiance. Encore peu habitués au contact humain, ils auront besoin de patience, de douceur et de temps pour apprendre à faire confiance à leur nouvelle famille. Heureusement, ils sont très gourmands ! La nourriture est une belle façon de commencer à créer du lien avec eux, toujours à leur rythme et sans les brusquer. Ils méritent maintenant de découvrir une vraie vie de famille, dans un foyer aimant et respectueux de leurs besoins. Des petits cœurs à apprivoiser ! Venez les rencontrer directement au refuge !

About ROONEY

What life with ROONEY looks like

ROONEY is a young adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at SPA Orgeval in Orgeval.

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 France

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 ROONEY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ROONEY?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Orgeval handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ROONEY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ROONEY 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 SPA Orgeval what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is ROONEY 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 SPA Orgeval directly what is included and what ROONEY still needs.
What happens if ROONEY 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 SPA Orgeval early rather than rehoming privately; they know ROONEY 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
