Chihuahua (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Bunny. This adorable little Chi with the radar-like ears was found hiding under an old trailer near a cow pasture in Cleveland County, NC. She was emaciated and scared, but her finder was able to gain her trust and coax her out with some food. Bunny was likely abandoned in the area and exhausted from fending for herself. Thankfully, this kind-hearted person took action to ensure Bunny was safe and then contacted our rescue to help find her a great home. While Bunny was a few pounds underweight on intake, she was a wonderful patient at the vet and had no trust issues being handled. We are happy to report that she’s a healthy pup with excellent social skills. She has a sweet, affectionate nature and loves to snuggle and give kisses. She has slept in her foster mom’s bed every night and offers hugs when she wakes up. ❤️ Bunny does not have a mean bone in her body. If she feels threatened, she just lies flat and is very submissive. Bunny is a bit shy at first and more of a follower, but once she has a few minutes to warm up, she’s very friendly and engaging. She loves every human she meets and is good with kids too. She's a gentle pup who is not nippy and considers kids to be more playmates in her life. She also really enjoys the company of other dogs and would love to have a dog buddy in her new home. She loves to play and do zoomies in the backyard — the yard is her kingdom, and she is the queen. Ruthann describes Bunny as an active dog who likes to play and go on walks, but when she is tired, she just wants to be in your lap. She’s almost fully potty trained, and Ruthann keeps her gated in the laundry room when she’s not home. She cries a little when left alone but does settle down and is never destructive. She also has pretty good leash skills. She does not pull and will sit on command. She knows her name and will come when called. Good girl, Bunny! Like most dogs, Bunny will protective bark if she hears loud sounds or someone comes to the door. but she’s not afraid of noises in general and does well greeting visitors. She also enjoys rides in the car and getting out and about, and is the dog who is ready-made to be your travel buddy and sidekick. Bunny will be coming to town on 11/9, ready to start her new life.
