Story
Honey-Bun (aka “Bunny”, “Bun-Bun”, and “you’re so cute”)
Meet “Bunny” — equal parts snuggle bug, comedian, and tiny, quirky queen. A Great Pyrenees Cattle dog mix. (With a hint of red fox 😂) Her name fits her perfectly—her coat is the color of Honey, and she’s just as sweet. She is on the smaller side, only 48 lbs). If you’re looking for a velcro dog who will be your shadow on the sofa, curl up as close as physically possible, and melt at gentle affection, Bunny is your girl. She’s sensitive, deeply loving, and thrives with patience, calm energy, and someone who appreciates a dog with a little extra personality. She is fine with other dogs, and she loves to play. Slow introductions are recommended as she is shy and nervous at first. If you have a house full of cute little kids, Honey is not for you. However, she does fantastic with older kids and loves the attention she gets from them. (Foster-home have teenagers!) She enjoys emptying our very large toy box, throwing the toys around on the soft rug. It’s adorable. Bunny’s story didn’t start easy. She was left on a country road and waited there for two weeks, hoping her family would come back. They didn’t. When she was rescued, she was completely shut down — too scared to walk, ride in a car, or even move. Over time, she began to trust again… only to be displaced once more when her rescuer couldn’t keep her. That’s when she came to us.
And yes — we started back at square one. Frozen in the yard, unsure of everything, overwhelmed by the world. She has come a long way and is so courageous these days, but fairly certain she will digress slightly upon arrival to a new home.
But here’s where Bunny shows you who she really is.
With time, encouragement, a pack of five very patient resident dogs, and (let’s be honest) a steady supply of treats, she blossomed. The dog who once “pancaked” on walks now sprints to the door when she senses it’s time to go out. Doorways? Conquered. Garage door noises? Irrelevant. The bed she once hid under? Long forgotten.
What you get now is Bunny 2.0 — a happy, hilarious little character who quite literally smiles all day. She’s food-motivated (carrots and ice included), endlessly entertaining as she digs herself into the couch cushions Her signature move on walks: spotting another dog and transforming into a pogo stick. Have never seen anything like it.
She’s also a world-class backyard observer. She loves watching the world go by. Squirrels? Fascinating. Bunnies? Immediate pogo activation. Birds? Not worth her time.
Bunny is house-trained, doesn’t bark much, knows a couple of basic commands (sit, no, treats) and is very eager to please. Training will come over time — confidence was the real work, and she’s already done the hard part. She does best with patient and gentle guidance; raised voices will shut her down.
