A true animal lover gives without expecting anything in return. Some rabbits seek affection, others prefer their own kind—but their happiness isn’t measured by how much they need us. The joy is in knowing they are safe, content, and free to be themselves—with or without our company.
Rabbits are social, intelligent beings—not low-maintenance pets. They need companionship, a proper diet, enrichment, and specialized vet care. With a lifespan of 10-15 years, adopting a rabbit is a long-term commitment, not a short-term novelty.
More important than the dog or bunny behavior in establishing a compatible relationship is human behavior. Our job is to show our dogs how we want them to behave around our rabbits.
