Story
Meet Bunny 🐾
Breed: Maltipoo Age: ~11 years old Health: Great health for his age! Recent dental (March) — he has some teeth left, just not a full set.
About Bunny
Bunny is a sweet, affectionate senior gentleman looking for a quiet place to finally settle down. He was surrendered to rescue when his owner could no longer care for him, and understandably, the transition wasn't easy on him. It took Bunny a good while to decompress, and he's still a little anxious about being moved around — which just means he's looking for a stable, patient home where he can stop bracing for the next change.
Once he feels safe, Bunny is a total love bug. He adores cuddling and would happily spend all day curled up next to his person or tucked into bed with you. He's crate trained and potty trained, though he may need a quick refresher on house training when he first settles into a new home — totally normal for a dog who's been through some upheaval.
Something to Know About Him
Bunny's past has left him with a bit of a sensitive side. He loves being petted and cuddled, but he lets you know clearly when he's had enough — sometimes with a growl. It's not aggression, it's communication, and he responds really well to people who listen to it. He'll do best in a home with older kids (no young children, please) who can read his body language and respect his boundaries when he tells them he's done.
Life With Other Pets
Bunny gets along fine with other dogs once proper introductions are made, but he's got a bit of a bossy streak and genuinely prefers being the only dog in the house — he'd likely be happiest as an only pup. Cats, on the other hand, are no problem at all — he currently lives with a resident cat and does great with her.
Bunny's Ideal Home
A calm, stable household where he won't be shuffled around
No young children; older, dog-savvy kids are welcome
Preferably the only dog (cats are welcome!)
A person (or people) happy to let him sleep in bed or cuddle up on the couch
Patience for a little settling-in time and the occasional grumble when he's had enough attention
Bunny isn't a "perfect" dog — he has some big feelings about his past, he'll tell you when he's done being petted, and he'd rather not share the spotlight with another dog. But for the right home — one that gives him time, respects his signals, and wants a devoted cuddle buddy for his golden years — Bunny has so much love left to give.
Bunny's adoption fee is $100 and includes the dog being up to date on vaccines, micro-chipped and neutered.

We are a non-profit organization ran by 100% unpaid volunteers, the adoption fee for each animal is to help offset the costs of running the rescue (medical care, food, shelter, etc) and to ensure that we can continue helping animals.
