About Bunny

Bunny is looking for a patient adopter who can help him find his footing in the world. Found as a stray in Madison County, he’s been at the shelter since July 31, which is far too long for a dog. Although he’s sweet and affectionate, Bunny is timid and lacks socialization, making him cautious around new people. He won’t rush up to strangers for attention, but with time and gentle encouragement, he reveals his charming personality. Treats can be a great way to build trust and help him feel safe. Bunny enjoys the company of other dogs, and having a confident canine buddy might aid him in opening up even further. If you're willing to put in some effort and love, Bunny could become an incredibly rewarding addition to your family. He is about 3 years old and weighs 37 pounds. Come meet him at 4950 Triana Blvd SW in Huntsville, Alabama, where no appointment is needed to see our available animals. You might just find your new best friend!
