Summer

Mixed Breed · Female

Can live with:I am looking for a neutered male rabbit friend Summer arrived to us due to living in unsuitable conditions. Her owner had over 100 rabbits!! We have taken in 9 of them. When they arrived they were all very thin. They are all gaining weight nicely now. Summer has been vaccinated, chipped, neutered and wormed whilst being with us. Summer is not on the dainty side, she is over 2.50kg and still has a bit more weight to gain. Her ears are just great!! She is cheeky, likes to throw boxes and toys around her pen. She is getting there with the litter training, it is still a work in progress. Over time this will come more easily to her. She loves food, treats and to poke her nose into see what you are doing and can she help. Summer can live inside or outside in a big enough environment. She is looking for a neutered male rabbit to bond with and keep her company. She is a bit wilful in a cheeky way she likes things in a certain place, if you do it wrong she will just move it herself!! So he ideally needs to be calm and chilled to cope with Summers energy and organising skills

About Summer

What life with Summer looks like

Summer is a large adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at RSPCA Brighton and the Heart of Sussex in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Summer, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Summer?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Brighton and the Heart of Sussex handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Summer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Summer if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Brighton and the Heart of Sussex 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Summer 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 Summer 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 RSPCA Brighton and the Heart of Sussex early rather than rehoming privately; they know Summer 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 (EN). 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.
