Bunny

Meet Bunny, a spirited three-year-old Albino Mini Australian Shepherd from Murrieta, CA, whose heart is as big as her playful energy! With a stunning white coat and mesmerizing blue eyes, she’s a one-of-a-kind companion who lives for a good game of fetch. If you’ve got a ball, Bunny is all in—she’ll keep you entertained with her enthusiastic chases and joyful zoomies!

Bunny is both deaf and mostly blind, but don’t let that fool you—this little dynamo navigates her world with confidence and determination. She’s incredibly smart, knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “go to bed,” and thrives on routine. She is fully crate-trained and does just fine when left alone for short periods. While Bunny bonds deeply with her favorite person, she prefers to be the only dog in the home so she can soak up all the love and attention.

Because of her strong personality, Bunny does have some food and toy guarding tendencies. She has shown aggression and had bite incidents with both dogs and people in those situations, so she’ll need a patient, experienced caregiver who understands her boundaries and can work with her using positive reinforcement. With the right approach, she’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty and affection!

Bunny is already spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and house-trained, making her ready for her new home! She does require regular grooming every four to six weeks to keep her beautiful coat looking its best. While her energy is moderate, she thrives on engagement—interactive play, gentle training exercises, and lots of cuddle time with her chosen person will keep her happy! She’s selective with other dogs, so a meet-and-greet would be necessary if there are any canine siblings in her future home. Her reaction to cats is unknown.

This little Aussie has so much love to give, and she’s ready to start a new adventure with someone who appreciates her unique needs and big personality. Could you be the one to give Bunny her next loving home?
