Sneezy

Female · Young · 1 year

Sneezy and Sleepy were born at the Zurich Animal Welfare Society. These two rabbits are curious, though initially a bit cautious. With a little patience, they’ll gradually gain trust and reveal their lively and energetic side. They’re especially delighted by fresh green fodder, which they eagerly anticipate with great enthusiasm. Any new objects introduced into their enclosure are immediately explored from every angle. They also show curiosity about branches or other natural materials, moving them around and reshaping them according to their own ideas. The two are very active, making intensive use of their enclosure and enjoying digging to their heart’s content. Therefore, we’d like to find them a home where they can fully indulge in this natural behavior. By the way, they’ll happily step onto the scale for a tasty treat without any fuss. For Sneezy and Sleepy, we’re looking for a spacious, diversely furnished home with plenty of room for hopping, digging, and exploring. A naturally designed enclosure featuring various structures, ample digging opportunities, and regular enrichment activities would be particularly appealing to them.

Sneezy und Sleepy sind bei uns im Zürcher Tierschutz geboren. Die beiden Kaninchen sind neugierig und aktiv, anfangs aber noch etwas vorsichtig. Mit etwas Geduld fassen sie Vertrauen und zeigen dann ihre zutrauliche und aufgeweckte Seite. Besonders freuen sie sich über frisches Grünfutter, das sie jeweils mit grosser Begeisterung erwarten. Leckereien nehmen sie auch aus der Hand. Neue Gegenstände im Gehege werden sofort von allen Seiten erkundet. Auch Äste oder andere natürliche Materialien werden neugierig untersucht, verschoben und nach ihren Vorstellungen umgeräumt. Die beiden sind sehr aktiv, nutzen ihr Gehege intensiv und buddeln gerne. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause, in dem sie diesem natürlichen Verhalten nachgehen können. Mit einem feinen Leckerli lassen sie sich übrigens auch problemlos auf die Waage locken. Für Sneezy und Sleepy wünschen wir uns ein grosszügiges, abwechslungsreich eingerichtetes Zuhause mit viel Platz zum Hoppeln, Buddeln und Entdecken. Ein naturnah gestaltetes Gehege mit verschiedenen Strukturen, Buddelmöglichkeiten und regelmässiger Beschäftigung würde den beiden besonders gut gefallen.

About Sneezy

What life with Sneezy looks like

Sneezy is a large young adult rabbit waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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: Sleepy has had injuries requiring veterinary treatment and needs patient, gentle care to rebuild trust

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sneezy, answered.

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