Zebedee

Male · Adult · 5 years

Background: Meet Zebedee, a single, entire boar. Zebedee came to Raystede as he sadly lost his companion and his owners were moving abroad. He can be a little shy and timid but can always be easily bribed with tasty veg! We are sure that with the love and patience he deserves, he will find his confidence as he is already starting to venture out more and become exicted about veg! Home wanted: He is looking for companionship with another calm boar to bond with as we will not be neuetrtering him due to his age. A pair will require a minimum enclosure of at least 10.5 square feet of unbroken space on one level. They must have plenty of unrestricted hay and a variety of enrichment. He would like to be homed indoors all year around with supervised access to a suitable run on warmer summer days. He is looking for a calm home willing to provide the time and patience he needs to come out of his shell. Children: Zebedee would prefer to go to a home with adults/older teens. He can be a little nervous at times so must not be surrounded by loud noises and should only be handled by the adults in the home. Other animals: Will need to be kept separate from other pets in the home. Additional needs: Boys need regular maintenance of their grease glands and checking for impaction. Looking for a dedicated and committed forever home, ready to give him lots of attention and fuss. If you think you could offer the gorgeous Zebedee his forever home and have another suitable boar looking for companionship, please complete an online application form.

About Zebedee

What life with Zebedee looks like

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Zebedee far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zebedee, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zebedee?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Raystede Centre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zebedee on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zebedee if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Raystede Centre what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Zebedee already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Raystede Centre directly what is included and what Zebedee still needs.
What happens if Zebedee 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 Raystede Centre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zebedee 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.
