Profile

Preference will be given to homes with another dog who is well behaved, calm,
and between the age of 2 of 7 approximately.

I’m small but mighty, and nobody can quash my feisty spirit!
I’ll take on the big boys, and keep up with the fastest
My antics will keep you entertained all day long,
But watch out for your ankles! I might be chewing on them!

I’m the energiser bunny, which means I’ll need lots of mental enrichment to keep my brain stimulated so I don’t get bored! Trick classes, scent work, and brain games are right up my alley! And though exercise is important too, too much of this and my adult self will be an insatiable marathon runner. At this age, a 5-10 minute leisurely stroll is plenty!

What I need:

a secure yard and access inside the home at all times and snuggles on the couch also need to be in my future.

a home where my new owners are not away for long periods of a time ideally no more than 3-4 hours at most.

As with all young pups, my new owners will need to set me up to succeed with lots of force free training and careful socialising with other dogs, people, and different environments so that I grow up to be a confident adult dog.

Recommendations from my foster carer can be provided and preference will be given to owners that are prepared to work with a force free trainer if necessary.

Dog parks are no place for a young tyke like me, I might get overwhelmed by all the big dogs there, or I might learn lots of inappropriate behaviours from the other dogs. So one on one play dates with calm friendly dogs is best.

Remember, I’m still a puppy, and that makes me a baby. I’m not okay to be left for long periods of time.
I need to be left for tiny amounts of time, and this can be gradually increased in small increments. That way I learn to cope with being left.

I’ll need lots of mental stimulation and enrichment to keep me happy and to ensure I have a fulfilled life! This means puzzle feeders, play dates, adventures with my family, seeing new things and sniffing allllll the sniffs! My foster ma says I deserve the bestest life, so my new family should be prepared to give me the bestest life possible!

I have grown up alongside many different animals and have already been exposed to lots of different people, sounds, objects etc. This means I am;

Dog friendly
Cat friendly
Livestock friendly (horses, cows )
Child friendly (children over 10)

It is important to note though, that I am still a puppy, and I will need to be supervised around other animals and children.

My foster mum expects me to grow to approximately 18-20kgs

Another thing to note is that because I’m so young, my joints are still soft and fragile. Too much exercise at this age can cause me problems later in life. Gentle walks on a harness and leash are ideal, and make sure you let me sniff as much as I like! This is how I learn about the world !

If you think you’ve got what it takes to be my forever family, we are anticipating a lot of applications, and only the very best homes will be considered, so make sure in your application/ enquiry, you tell us all about yourself, your home (including whether you rent/or own) your family, your current pets, where Rabbit will sleep, your plans with Rabbit including socialisation, training, outings so that Rabbit will continue to grow up into a good canine citizen if you are the successful applicant. The more information you provide the better we can see if you are a suitable home for one of the gorgeous Rabbit
