Temperament

Bunny is a shy and submissive little gal. Since she was dumped, it is unclear of what happened in her past, or whether she was just fending for herself on the street, but this gal needs both love and structure to build on those layers of confidence!

We have no idea what breeds Bunny is made up of, and will likely come back with all sorts of breeds. She has the body of a lab, the coloring and markings of a lemon beagle, but that is honestly a guess. If there is a breed, “great dog,” then she is that one!

Bunny is great with other dogs, submissive at first, but then 100% play, play, play, play, play! She is great with humans, and loves kids. She is a bit shy at first with new humans, but once she gets a second to meet, she is all about the love and attention she can get from them. Once you are in her pod, her tail wags non stop for you. She is a pretty easy going dog otherwise, with plenty of puppy energy, but not over the top crazy. We think she will grow to be a pretty awesome and special adult.

We WOULD LOVE for Bunny to work with one of our recommended northern trainers initially, implementing a balanced training method. WHY? Because we have already started implement the foundational elements of this style of training, and it will do a great deal for her confidence. Our recommended trainers will continue to work on confidence, manners, reliability, and FUN.

Needs

  • Bunny is a puppy, with puppy spurts. She needs an to an active family or couple, willing to give them regular walks, runs, trails, and adventures, and plenty of playtime. They should continue socialization with other dogs through puppy play dates.

  • Bunny needs a back yard. Traditional fencing is NOT required.

  • Bunny would love dog siblings or close friends. She’s super playful, and happy to be friends with dogs of all size.

  • Adopters should be ready to start PROFESSIONAL training with one of our recommended trainers to continue proper dog socialization, work on nice leash manners using leash pressure, and heel-side walking, structured walking, place command, and prepare for off-leash remote collar fun.

  • As an organization, we prefer balanced training, and not “purely positive training.” Balanced training strikes a happy balance between a TON of positive rewards, but also rules, structure, and specific tools to set tone and boundaries for our dogs. We are firm believers that the more rules you have for your dog when they are young, the more freedom they earn as they get older. So set down expectations and boundaries for your dog now with a trainer and the right tools, so they can be part of all the family fun! Those with balanced training experience, and experience with slip lead/training collar/prong/remote collar as communication tools are preferred but not required!

Those who don’t believe in rules, routine, and structure for your dog, need not apply.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, we will only consider applicants where one adult has a more flexible schedule, as puppies are a lot of work, and will require potty breaks, exercise, training and continued human and dog socialization as they grow up.

Crate/Potty Training

All puppies and dogs rescued by FAVOR are crate trained, sleeping in the crate from 8pm-6am (with a potty break around 11pm), and accustomed to some day crate time as well. Puppies also understand the basic concept of peeing outside, but there is ALWAYS a transition period where crate cries and potty accidents WILL HAPPEN in a new home, as the dog transitions to new rules and ways to communicate.

We always recommend keeping dogs crated during nap times, bed time, and when they are alone to protect them from danger such as chewing on cords, socks, and other objects. Foreign objects can get stuck in their stomachs which can result in a very expensive surgery. We also encourage using the crate like a bedroom for your dogs as they get older, where they can take naps, take a break from human interaction, and have a time out. More importantly, the crate provides them a safe place to go to when things get overwhelming, like a lot of people, loud noises, extreme weather. Think of the crate as their “den,” and a place for them to unwind. We all need a break sometimes!
