Meet Bunny Athens

Bunny is a 9-year-old, 35 lb affectionate sweetheart who was surrendered to the shelter with two other dogs when her owner could no longer care for them. Despite the change in her life, Bunny has remained an incredibly easygoing and loving girl who simply wants to be close to her person. She is a wonderful companion with a calm, gentle personality. Bunny is very house trained and can easily hold it through the night. She is crate trained but has proven to be completely trustworthy when left out, as she doesn’t touch anything in the home. She is also the easiest dog to walk on a leash and will happily stroll along for as long as you’d like. Bunny loves kids and has done very well with the small dogs she has met and enjoys just peacefully coexisting. She still has plenty of spunk in her — she easily goes up and down a tall wooden staircase and enjoys getting around just fine. She also enjoys stuffed toys and being outside. Sadly, Bunny was recently diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma but is still maintaining well and will return for bloodwork in the next few months to determine her ultimate prognosis. What Bunny is looking for is an understanding and empathetic family to see her through this diagnosis and to know showering her with unconditional love and happiness no matter what during this time is the true treatment. She is microchipped, spayed, and up to date on vaccines, and she is ready to find a loving home where she can spend her golden years being the loyal, easy companion she truly is.
