Adopt Snowy

Female · Adult · 4 years

The dear Snowy is a roughly 4-year-old female rabbit who came to us because she had to leave her previous home unfortunately. Now, we wish to find her a place where she can finally arrive and be permanently happy. Snowy is a quiet, gentle rabbit lady who needs a compassionate environment. She lives with chronic sniffles, but she manages well with the right care. A pairing is generally possible, but should be done with some thought: Particularly suitable are partner rabbits who already have experience with sniffles or bring a stable immune system. Additionally, a good vaccination protection is important so that both animals are well-protected. Moreover, Snowy has arthritis, which means she is particularly dependent on a considerate and stress-free environment. Her future partner should therefore not be dominant but calm and social, so she can feel safe and comfortable. Due to her arthritis, an outdoor housing is not ideal for Snowy, as cold and moisture can worsen her symptoms. Therefore, we wish for her a loving home in indoor housing where her needs are best met.

Die liebe Snowy ist ein etwa 4 Jahre altes Kaninchenmädchen, das zu uns kam, weil sie ihr bisheriges zuhause leider verlassen musste. Nun wünschen wir uns für sie einen Platz, an dem sie endlich ankommen und dauerhaft glücklich sein darf. Snowy ist eine ruhige sanfte Kaninchendame, die ein verständnissvolles Umfeld braucht. Sie lebt mit chronischem Schnupfen, kommt damit aber mit der richtigen Pflege gut zurecht. Eine Vergesellschaftung ist grundsätzlich möglich, sollte aber jedoch mit etwas Bedacht erfolgen: Besonders gut geeignet sind Partnerkaninchen, die bereits Erfahrung mit Schnupfen haben oder ein stabieles Immunsystem mitbringen. Wichtig ist außerdem ein guter Impfschutz, damit beide Tiere bestmöglich abgesichert sind. Zusätzlich hat Snowy Arthrose, weshalb sie besonders auf ein rücksichtsvolles und stressfreies Umfeld angewiesen ist. Ihr zukünftiger Partner sollte daher nicht dominant sein, sondern ruhig und sozial, damit sie sich sicher und wohlfühlem kann. Aufgrund ihrere Arthrose ist eine Außenhaltung nicht ideal für Snowy, da Kälte und Feuchtigkeit ihre Beschwerden verschlimmern können. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie ein liebevolles Zuhause in Innenhaltung, wo ihre Bedürfnisse bestmöglich berücksichtigt werden.

About Snowy

What life with Snowy looks like

Snowy is a adult rabbit waiting at Tierheim Velbert in Velbert.

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 Snowy, answered.

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