Adopt Sneezy

Female · Baby · 10 months

Sneezy and Sleepy were born and raised here at our shelter in Zürich. Unfortunately, after some time, conflicts arose with their siblings, so we had to separate the group. Now, the two are looking for a new, suitable home together. Sneezy is very curious and approachable. As soon as someone approaches the enclosure, she rushes over and looks expectantly, hoping to discover something exciting. She is especially happy about fresh greens, and she is always right there. Sleepy is currently still a bit reserved. She had injuries that required veterinary treatment, which has somewhat affected her trust. However, with patience, calmness, and loving care, she is gradually becoming more secure. We are optimistic that she will soon also be as curious about her surroundings. For Sneezy and Sleepy, we wish for a spacious, species-appropriate enclosure with plenty of room to hop and explore. It is especially important to them that they have ample opportunities to engage in natural behaviors.

Sneezy und Sleepy sind bei uns im Zürcher Tierschutz geboren und hier behütet aufgewachsen. Leider kam es nach einiger Zeit zu Streitigkeiten mit ihren Geschwistern, sodass wir die Gruppe trennen mussten. Nun suchen die beiden gemeinsam ein neues, passendes Zuhause. Sneezy zeigt sich sehr neugierig und zugänglich. Sobald sich jemand dem Gehege nähert, kommt sie angesprungen und schaut erwartungsvoll, ob es etwas Spannendes zu entdecken gibt. Besonders über frisches Grün freut sie sich sehr, da ist sie immer sofort zur Stelle. Sleepy ist aktuell noch etwas verhalten. Sie hatte Verletzungen, die tierärztlich behandelt werden mussten, was ihr Vertrauen etwas beeinträchtigt hat. Mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Betreuung wird sie jedoch zunehmend sicherer. Wir sind zuversichtlich, dass sie bald ebenfalls wieder neugierig ihre Umgebung erkundet. Für Sneezy und Sleepy wünschen wir uns ein grosszügiges, artgerechtes Gehege mit viel Platz zum Hoppeln und Erkunden. Besonders wichtig ist ihnen ausreichend Buddelmöglichkeit, damit sie ihren natürlichen Bedürfnissen nachgehen können.

About Sneezy

What life with Sneezy looks like

Sneezy is a small puppy/kitten 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.
