Adopt Sbirulo

Domestic Rabbit · Male · Baby · 5 months

CERCAFAMIGLIA: SBIRULO He is Sbirulo, a wonderful 5-month-old rabbit rescued by OIPA volunteers from Brescia. He was rescued with the beginning of rhinitis and was promptly treated with an aerosol. Once recovered, he was "booked" for adoption, but as often happens, the potential adopters came up with the most common excuses. The little rabbit is very curious, nice, and infinitely sweet. In these months, he has always been free in a room, and has been taught to use the litter box, so he does not mess around. Healthy, already vaccinated, and lively, he is still too young to be neutered. Sbirulo is looking for a home and love, help us by sharing his appeal.

I CERCAFAMIGLIA: SBIRULO Lui è Sbirulo, splendido coniglietto di 5 mesi recuperato dai volontari dell’OIPA di Brescia. Soccorso con un inizio di rinite è stato prontamente curato con l’aerosol. Una volta guarito era stato “prenotato” per l’adozione, ma come accade spesso gli aspiranti adottanti hanno accampato le più banali scuse. Coniglietto molto curioso, simpatico e di una dolcezza infinita, in questi mesi è sempre stato libero in una stanza, ed è stato “educato” all’uso della lettiera, quindi non sporca in giro. Sano, già vaccinato e vivace, è ancora troppo piccolo per essere castrato. Sbirulo cerca casa e amore aiutiamolo condividendo il suo appello.

About Sbirulo

What life with Sbirulo looks like

Sbirulo is a small puppy/kitten domestic rabbit 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: Too young for neutering, requires indoor living space

🇮🇹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 Sbirulo, answered.

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