Timothy

Male

Timothy was found in a box and came to us as a stray. We don't know how long he had to wait there – but one thing is certain: he has already been through a lot. He is neutered and at first shows himself to be very reserved with us. New situations and strangers still unsettle him, so he needs some time to build trust. But with patience, calmness, and a secure environment, he slowly opens up and reveals that there is a gentle, sensitive boy inside. We wish for him a home where he can find peace – ideally with plenty of space, appropriate care, and an already existing, friendly companion animal. People who understand his background and give him time will see him step by step emerging from himself. Whoever gives this little boy a chance not only gives him a home but also the chance to finally arrive.

DE·Show original

Timothy wurde in einer Schachtel gefunden und kam als Fundtier zu uns. Wie lange er dort ausharren musste, wissen wir nicht – aber sicher ist: Er hat schon einiges hinter sich. Er ist kastriert und zeigt sich bei uns anfangs sehr zurückgezogen. Neue Situationen und fremde Menschen verunsichern ihn noch, weshalb er etwas Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Doch mit Ruhe, Geduld und einem sicheren Umfeld taut er langsam auf und zeigt, dass in ihm ein sanftes, sensibles Kerlchen steckt. Für ihn wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem er zur Ruhe kommen darf – idealerweise mit viel Platz, artgerechter Haltung und einem bereits vorhandenen, freundlichen Partnertier. Menschen, die Verständnis für seine Vorgeschichte haben und ihm Zeit geben, werden erleben, wie er Schritt für Schritt aus sich herauskommt. Wer diesem kleinen Kerl eine Chance gibt, schenkt ihm nicht nur ein Zuhause, sondern auch die Möglichkeit, endlich anzukommen. 🏡💛

About Timothy

What life with Timothy looks like

Timothy is a adult rabbit waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Timothy, answered.

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