A volunteer writes: Polkadot was easy to handle when I took her out for playtime. This gorgeous girl ran around and around the pen, and when she was tired, she pancaked for pets. I found her friendly, scoping her area, curiously exploring everything...even climbing on my shoulder. When she released all the energy she had, she laid chilling in the tunnel. She is looking for her forever home. Come see how interesting she is.
My foster writes: Polkadot is an eye-catching girl with lop ears and tufts of lionhead's mane around her face. Polkadot is very good about using her litter box, with the occasional stray pellets around her pen. Polkadot is a night owl and active exploring, hopping, and sniffing between 9:30pm and 2am. Polkadot is a high jumper and can easily clear the 26" baby gates if we don't cover the top! My kids and I created various two story condos out of cardboard boxes for her to use and jump on. Most of the day, Polkadot is content to laze around. She doesn't seem to be high energy and we haven't observed her to binky. However, she shows she is content by relaxing and stretching out on the open floor of our living room. Polkadot enjoys her fresh fruits and vegetables. For her favorite treats, she has gradually went from grabbing and running off with them, to eating them from the hand, to jumping into my lap to look for more. Polkadot is warming up to human company. At the beginning, she would immediately try to hide or zip away from anyone approaching her. After about two weeks, she is not as scared of people or noises but still often startles, thumps, and hops away. Polkadot will struggle if picked up, but she has come a long way in accepting head and body petting. She seems to have a strong preference to being petted in her litter box. Once she starts getting petted, she will pancake and stretch out with her paws over the side of the litter box. She allows petting while she eats her food and treats. She would do best in a rabbit-proofed room with lots of hiding places for her to feel safe. She isn't aggressive with young kids but she would likely appreciate a calmer home. I believe given her progress in just two weeks, that she will make a great low-key companion for someone with patience. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 5.12 Age: 1yrs 1mths 0wks
