Adopt Wilfried

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Wilfried came to us as a surrender animal because his partner passed away. Before that, he lived with his brother, which probably worked out well. Now, he lives with the other giant rabbit Bonsai. Wilfried previously lived outdoors and could be rehomed back outside again. Unfortunately, the old man has a cold and should therefore only be adopted by similarly afflicted snuffles rabbits. Character-wise, he is typically a goldmine. He hops over immediately as soon as he sees you, always hoping for some food. Food is his favorite thing. And if you're not careful, he might already be holding a finger for a carrot and nibbling on it. Age-wise, he is already a bit calmer on the move, but still fit and jumps onto elevated levels as well. Please feel free to send us an email with information about your current rabbit care setup and appropriate photos. There is no cage available yet and you are planning to start with rabbit care? We are also happy to offer advice and tips and answer your questions. We would be very happy to arrange a meeting and show you our rabbits as well as possible cage options and setup variants.

Wilfried kam als Abgabetier zu uns, weil sein Partnertier verstarb. Zuvor lebte er mit seinem Bruder zusammen, was wohl gut geklappt hat.Bei uns lebt er nun mit dem anderen Riesenkaninchen Bonsai zusammen. Wilfried lebte vorher in Außenhaltung und kann gerne wieder nach draußen vermittelt werden. Nur leider hat der alte Mann einen Schnupfen und sollte daher nur zu ebenfalls erkrankten Schnupferkaninchen ziehen. Charakterlich ist er rassetypisch ein Goldschatz. Er kommt sofort angehoppelt, immer in der Hoffnung er bekommt Futter. Denn Futter liebt er über alles. Und wenn man nicht aufpasst, kann er einen Finger schonmal für eine Karotte halten und reinbeißen. Altersgemäß ist er schon ruhiger unterwegs, aber dennoch fit und springt auch auf erhöhte Ebenen. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen über deine aktuelle Kaninchenhaltung mit entsprechenden Fotos. Es ist noch kein Gehege vorhanden und du planst mit der Kaninchenhaltung anzufangen? Auch hierfür stehen wir gerne mit Rat und Tipps zur Verfügung und beantworten deine Fragen. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Kaninchen, sowie mögliche Gehegeoptionen und Einrichtungsvarianten.

About Wilfried

What life with Wilfried looks like

Wilfried is a small adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

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 Wilfried, answered.

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