Mutt Monday Education Info: Rabbits in Multi-Species Homes

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

While it's  a myth that rabbits cannot protect themselves, having one roaming free in your home with a Terrier or Hound can still be risky business for the bunny. A little training and some careful planning for your Hare's play space and you CAN make it work. We had a rabbit for nearly 8 years and he definitely added to our multi-species furry family in a positive way. Our Retrievers and little Oliver all managed to learn how and how not to approach him. Our list of lifetime pets grew once again, pleasantly. 

Today's Mutt Monday is here to share some tips on rabbit care and for adding rabbits to a dog home. I'm hopeful that we'll have some other bloggers chime in with rabbit tips of their own. Will you help me get the word out to them via Twitter; just click the RT button:

Today is definitely an experiment, and quite honestly, not one I've prepared for terribly well. We'll see what happens.

Rabbits in Multi-Species Homes

For many years we had a rabbit named Robby. He was litter trained and enjoyed sharing

Robby

our home with 3 dogs and a cat. Robby was quite a sport when little Oliver moved in as a youngster. Oliver was very curious, yet also cautious, so they learned to give each other space and have respect for each other's areas. I'm looking forward to hearing your stories. Will you help me get the word out to the blogging community with this Tweet:

Adoptable Pets: A Tour of States Returns! Resuming with Oklahoma

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

It's good to be back in the saddle, touring the states to check out adoptable Petfinder Pets. I had a blast the last couple of months promoting Petfinder adoption through our Super Dog Sunday™ events. If you missed the photo contest, you may want to check it out here.

Chloe

Now let's move on to Oklahoma where we find , Chloe, an adoptable dog. Chloe is a Border Collie, Catahoula Leopard Dog mix. If you're familiar with breeds you'll know these are two highly active breeds, so Chloe is looking for a family that will enjoy getting her out for long walk, swim, or hike every day. 

Tommy

Chloe is friendly, playful and has a love of life like no other. She may need a bit of obedience training, but then what dog doesn't. She's smart and will likely learn quickly. You can find Chloe in Prague, Okalahoma at the link above.


If you're looking for a smaller pup, perhaps Tommy will suit your fancy. He's a Chihuahua mix also available in Prague. 

Spyce

Spyce and his brother and soulmate, Pepper, cannot go with their owner to a new home. They are in need of a new home quickly. Spyce, a beautiful domestic long hair, and Pepper are available to adopt in Shawnee, Okalahoma. Their foster family's phone number is on their profile page, so you can ask questions and get an idea if you are the right family for Spyce and Pepper. Please give them a chance!

Ophelia

Now let's meet Ophelia, a bunny rabbit mix in Blanchard, Okalahoma. Unlike most rabbits, Ophelia likes to be in the middle of activity and enjoys showing off. She is quite an unusual rabbit. In addition, her caretakers say she is highly athletic with amazing jumping ability that is very entertaining. She is good with her human family members and would make a nice pet for many households.
