If you've visited the Small Animal Room within the past 10 months, then you've likely met Gunner. He's been the stunning solid gray rabbit sort-of tucked in the corner. After hanging out with us for almost 10 months, he's now ready to bust out of the shelter & find his forever home! Estimated at 2-3 years old, Gunner has all the behaviors we associate with long-term shelter life. He's grumpy, slightly depressed and extremely energetic. These behaviors will melt away once he realizes that he's in a forever home and will be cherished in the way he so deserves. He begs for out-of-cage exercise constantly! So lots of play time is a must.

Gunner's had time to improve on his litter box skills but still has some ways to go. He loves to dig and scratch; newspapers, phone books, and fabrics are favorite toys of his. While he might do well as an only rabbit, it is recommended that he be placed in a home with older, respectful children.

He's got an adventurous spirit and he's just aching to spread his paws. As you meet and interact with him at the shelter, it is important to remember that he is really a diamond in the rough; his life of the past year colors his overall personality and we are quite certain that his true personality won't shine through until he's been neutered & in a home environment. If you're interested in this handsome boy, don't be afraid to ask questions of the Small Animal Staff and volunteers. We truly believe that Gunner is one of those who is a true jewel, waiting to be polished.
