Adopt Spike

Male · Young · 3 years

* Spike is happy for animal sponsors * Lionhead Mix Born: unknown at the animal shelter since: October 4, 2023 male, neutered Spike comes from a suboptimal hobby keeping situation where he was unfortunately kept alone and in a much too small stall. The owner had to go to the hospital, and so he and 25 other rabbits were taken in by us. Spike's teeth need to be regularly checked by a veterinarian and possibly trimmed, as otherwise he develops eye problems. Unfortunately, his tear-nasal canal is not permeable and could not even be flushed by the vet, which means his eyes sometimes water and need to be cleaned. Spike is vaccinated against myxomatosis and RHD and has been successfully treated for coccidia. Currently, he lives with Sayuri in an outdoor setting, and the two will only be rehomed together to a home with plenty of space for running, digging, hiding, and avoiding.

* Spike freut sich über Tierpaten * Löwenkopf-Mix Geboren: unbekannt im Tierheim seit: 04.10.2023 männlich , kastriert Spike stammt aus einer suboptimalen Hobbyhaltung, bei der er leider einzeln und in einem viel zu kleinen Stall gehalten wurde. Der Besitzer musste ins Krankenhaus und so wurden er und 25 weitere Kaninchen bei uns aufgenommen. Bei Spike müssen die Zähne regelmäßig tierärztlich kontrolliert und ggf. gekürzt werden, da er ansonsten Probleme mit dem Auge bekommt. Leider ist sein Tränen-Nasen-Kanal nicht durchlässig und konnte auch beim Tierarzt nicht durchgespült werden, weshalb die Augen zeitweise tränen und gesäubert werden müssen. Spike ist gegen Myxomatose und RHD geimpft, ebenso erfolgreich gegen Kokzidien behandelt worden. Derzeit lebt er mit Sayuri zusammen in Außenhaltung und die beiden werden nur gemeinsam vermittelt in ein Zuhause mit viel Platz zum Toben, Buddeln, Verstecken und Ausweichen.

About Spike

What life with Spike looks like

Spike is a young adult rabbit waiting at Tierschutzverein Dingolfing-Landau e.V. / Tierheim Quellenhof Passbrunn in Dingolfing.

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 Spike, answered.

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