About Bunny

Bunny has a quiet, thoughtful way about her. In the shelter, she tries her best to look calm and collected, but really, she'd just rather find her person and relax. At two and a half years old, Bunny has a lot of good years ahead of her and she’s looking forward to spending them with someone patient and kind who can help her feel at home again. She’s a large hound and Lab mix with a soft, short red and cream coat. Bunny has lived with young kids and cats and gets along well with them, but she’s had trouble with small dogs before—so she'd do best as the only dog in the home, or possibly with a calm, bigger companion. She’s food-motivated, affectionate once she knows you, and picks up training quickly. Bunny is house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. The shelter can be overwhelming, so she might need a little time to open up, but she’ll make a loyal walking buddy and loving friend to the right person. She’s ready for a fresh start and to smile a real, honest smile again. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
