Meet Bunny

Hello there, my name is Bunny! I'm a spirited and playful mixed breed young dog, around a year and a half old, and I'm on a quest to find my forever home and family! I've already had the fulfilling experience of being a mom and raising my precious puppies, and now it's my turn to be someone's beloved pet and receive all the love and attention I deserve. I've been fully vaccinated, microchipped and will be spayed before going home, so i will be all set to embark on a new chapter in a loving home where I can enjoy lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and fun adventures.Ideally, I'd love to be the only dog in the household so that I can be the center of attention and receive all the affection without any competition, but I am okay with large dogs who have as much energy as I do. Cats and small dogs are unfortunately not a good match for me as I’m unsure how to socialize with them and maybe think they’re toys. A spacious yard with a secure fence is an absolute must, as I have an abundance of energy and a deep love for running, playing, and exploring the great outdoors. I thrive on physical challenges and mental engagement, so I need humans who can provide me with plenty of opportunities to burn off steam and stay mentally stimulated.I'm always up for anything, whether it's going for long hikes in the mountains, playing fetch in the park, a nice game of chase hust in the yard or even cuddke time on the couch.At a medium size of 45 pounds,I have a natural athleticism and a strong desire to please, so I excel at learning new tricks and commands. I need a family who appreciates my active nature and is committed to providing me with the exercise, training, and enrichment I need to stay happy, healthy, and well-behaved.I promise to bring an endless supply of joy, laughter, and companionship into your life. If you're searching for a cheerful, energetic, and adventurous dog to join you on all your escapades, then look no further – I'm the perfect match! I'm eager for the chance to meet you and become a part of your family!
