My name is Rabbit Race!

Approximate Age: 1 year
Approximate Weight: 12 lbs

Rabbit Race 🐇💨
A playful, toy-obsessed goofball with big puppy energy and an even bigger personality.

● About 12 lbs and needs to gain a bit of weight; chicken is his protein
● Loves toys — often carries two at once and is very toy-motivated
● Playful, fun, loving, and thrives as a companion dog
● Medium energy: loves to play hard, then settles nicely when playtime is over
● Puppy-like behavior: can be stubborn, chooses when to listen, and needs continued training
● Mouthy when excited — nips during play or movement; easily redirected with toys
● Good with kids, but best with children 10+ due to mouthiness and jumping
● Sleeps peacefully in his crate all night and keeps it clean
● Eats in his crate, has a good appetite, food motivated, and takes treats gently
● Potty manners are mostly solid — goes outside and does not mark; routine will help perfect this
● Walks well on leash solo; when walked with another dog he may nip at them
● Rides quietly in the car in a travel kennel
● Can be vocal at first; loud bark may surprise at the beginning
● Does well when left gated — may whine briefly, then settles
● Bathing is no problem; brushing/drying goes best with a toy to hold
● Gets along with other dogs but may need a short decompression period, especially with smaller pets

Fun facts:
● Looks like the classic cartoon coyote 🐺
● Hops around the yard like a bunny — fast and adorable (hence the name Rabbit Race!)

Rabbit Race is a joyful, energetic pup who will thrive with training, structure, and a home ready to embrace his silly, puppy-style enthusiasm.
