Sheila

Unknown · Young · 1 year

Sheila was dropped off at our shelter because they and their partner could no longer be kept. The pretty ewe rabbit had already had one or more surprises in her belly and gave birth to about four babies a week after being dropped off. Now that the little ones are big enough and Sheila is starting to get a bit annoyed, she would like a nice new home with a new, neutered partner. In her new home, there should already be a large enclosure or rabbit room with at least one nice fellow animal waiting for her. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Sheila wurde bei uns abgegeben, da man sie und ihren Partner nicht mehr halten konnte. Das hübsche Widderkaninchen, hatte bereits eine bzw. mehrere kleine Überraschungen im Gepäck und brachte etwa eine Woche nach der Abgabe vier Babys auf die Welt. Jetzt wo die kleinen groß genug sind und Sheila langsam aber sicher auch etwas genervt ist, würde sie sich ein schönes neues Zuhause bei einem neuen, kastrierten Partner wünschen. In ihrem neuen Zuhause sollte dementsprechend bereits ein großes Gehege oder ein Kaninchenzimmer mit mindestens einem netten Artgenossen auf sie warten.

About Sheila

What life with Sheila looks like

Sheila is a large young adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

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

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 Sheila, answered.

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