Meet Rabbit — the happiest, bounciest 4 month old Terrier mix you’ll ever meet!
Rabbit came to us from the shelter and arrived in his foster home like a tiny tornado of joy. From day one, he burst through the door with endless enthusiasm, curiosity, and a deep desire to soak up everything life has to offer. He’s a puppy who greets each sunrise like it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
A Day in the Life of Rabbit
Rabbit’s mornings kick off around 8 AM, when he practically springs out of his pen with full-body wiggles. After a quick reminder, he heads straight into the yard to potty, then parks himself for a well-earned session of praise and petting. Breakfast is his absolute favorite — he devours it with the dedication of a competitive eater — and then it’s game on.
Rabbit loves to play. With toys, with people, with dogs… with more toys. He’ll empty the toy box in search of the Very Best One- which is of course so much fun to watch. Throughout the day he goes outside every few hours to potty and zoom around the yard, then returns to whatever adventure he was cooking up.
By 5 PM, it’s dinner time (another highlight of his day), followed by more play sessions and wrestling with his puppy foster bro. Around 8–9 PM, Rabbit slows down and melts into the couch beside you. He heads to bed around 10 PM, snoozing quietly all night in his x-pen on a cozy dog bed.
Personality & Progress
He’s affectionate, social, playful, and loves belly rubs so much he flashes his hilariously adorable little teeth when he rolls over. Rabbit LOVES dogs. His ideal day includes wrestling, chasing, and more wrestling. He played endlessly with the puppy in his foster home and tried very hard to convince the older dog to join in — though he was gentle with her when she didn’t want to play.
Training & House Manners
Rabbit is a smart, food-motivated little guy who aims to please.
Potty training: Doing great. He often holds it overnight, used a potty pad if needed, and quickly learned to take himself outside to the yard.
Crate/pen: Sleeps quietly in his x-pen and is comfortable with the crate.
Chewing: He’s teething and needs appropriate chew items.
Barking: Not a nuisance barker. Mostly quiet, but will bark to initiate play or get attention.
A Favorite Foster Memory
Rabbit rolling onto his back for belly rubs, flashing his silly little teeth like he’s auditioning for a cartoon character — it’s impossible not to laugh.
Rabbit is ready for a fun, active, loving home who can’t wait to shape a clever puppy into their dream companion. If you’ve been looking for a smart, silly, endlessly fun little buddy — hop to it. Rabbit is your guy!
