Shimi

Male

Shimi is a giant butterfly cross rabbit who was loved and well cared for by her family. However, she had to be entrusted to us along with her friend Haiiro because her family could no longer keep them in good conditions and preferred to let them go to ensure their well-being. Haiiro was much older, and he was adopted in a context that suited him perfectly! Shimi is still up for adoption. As soon as you enter the room, Shimi comes running, observes, explores... She is very interested in what's around her and shows great curiosity. However, she makes her decisions at her own pace, including interactions with humans: she accepts petting when she feels like it, and clearly communicates otherwise. She can be scared of loud noises and will need a safe and reassuring environment. She tends to nibble, which is manageable, but it must be taken into account (we will protect the bookshelves). We are looking for a home with patient human(s) who will take the time to make her comfortable. Food will be a good way to build a bond: she is a food lover! This home must already be inhabited by a gentle and calm male rabbit with whom she can cohabitate. If this is not the case, it must be planned: Shimi needs the company of at least one fellow animal of the same species. It is recalled: the rabbit is a social animal and must live in at least pairs. We will accompany you in this process. Adoption is possible in Brittany and neighboring departments. ADPK will advise and support you to offer her an appropriate habitat. She is spayed, vaccinated and dewormed. She is in foster care in Saint Aubin d'Aubigné (35). Our rabbits do not live in cages, even partially. Available for adoption in Brittany and neighboring departments. ADPK will advise and support you for this adoption and to provide her with an appropriate habitat.

Shimi est une lapine croisée géante papillon qui était aimée et bien suivie par sa famille. Elle a cependant dû nous être confiée avec son copain Haiiro car sa famille commençait à ne plus pouvoir les garder dans des bonnes conditions et qui a préféré les laisser partir pour assurer leur bien être. Haiiro était beaucoup plus âgé, il a été adopté dans un contexte qui lui convenait parfaitement ! Shimi est toujours à l’adoption. Dès qu’on entre dans la pièce, Shimi accourt, observe, explore… Elle est très intéressée par ce qui l’entoure et se montre très curieuse. Elle prend cependant ses décisions à son rythme, y compris pour les interactions avec les humains : elle accepte les caresses quand elle en a envie, et le fait savoir clairement dans le cas contraire. Elle peut avoir peur des bruits forts et aura besoin d’un environnement sécurisé et rassurant. Elle a tendance à grignoter, c’est gérable, mais c’est à prendre en compte (on protégera les bibliothèques). Nous recherchons pour elle un foyer avec des humain·es patient·es qui prendront le temps de la mettre à l’aise. La nourriture sera un bon levier pour créer un lien : elle est gourmande ! Ce foyer devra être déjà habité par un lapin mâle doux et tranquille avec qui elle pourra cohabiter. Si ce n’est pas le cas, cela devra être en projet : Shimi a besoin de la compagnie d’au moins un congénère. On le rappelle : le lapin est un animal grégaire qui doit vivre au moins en duo. Nous vous accompagnerons dans cette démarche. L’adoption est possible en Bretagne et départements limitrophes. L’ADPK vous conseillera et vous accompagnera pour lui offrir un habitat adapté. Elle est stérilisée, vaccinée et déparasitée. Elle est en famille d’accueil à Saint Aubin d’Aubigné (35). Nos lapins ne vivent pas en cage, même de façon partielle. A l’adoption en Bretagne et départements limitrophes. L’ADPK vous conseillera et vous accompagnera pour cette adoption et pour lui offrir un habitat adapté.

About Shimi

What life with Shimi looks like

Shimi is a extra-large adult rabbit waiting at ADPK - Association Des P in adpk association des p tits korrigans.

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

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shimi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shimi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ADPK - Association Des P handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shimi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shimi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ADPK - Association Des P 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 Shimi 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 Shimi 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 ADPK - Association Des P early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shimi 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
