Hang on Snoopy, Snoopy hang on.
A one-year-and-five-month-old Dwarf rabbit named Snoopy is looking for his forever home at the Toronto Humane Society after he was surrendered to the shelter in December 2025.
“He has been with us for a little while,” THS spokesperson Lucas Solowey said.
“He is super clever, curious and active. So in terms of behaviour, he’s really sweet. I’d say he thrives when given space to explore, investigate and he enjoys plenty of enrichment like tunnels, chew toys, treats and independent activities. I think Snoopy would make a great pet. He’s super cute. He’s smart. He’s playful. ”
However, Snoopy also needs his space.
“He can be sensitive to new environments and takes a bit of time to settle,” said Solowey. “So yeah, I’d say he can be really greatly behaved but can be nervous in a new environment, so when he is provided with toys and treats and spaces to hide and just feel kind of safe in those spaces, he will do a lot better.”
Snoopy is in good health but requires a spacious enclosure to thrive.
“Ideally, if (his new home) has an enclosure it should be fairly spacious with spaces to hide, a litter box, an area for fresh food and water,” said Solowey. “Enough space to hop around and ideally if you’re able to bunny proof a portion of your house to let them out of the enclosure to hop around and explore.”
Solowey says Snoopy’s main diet is hay, dandelion greens, kale, lettuce, green or red peppers, and dry pellets.
Rabbits like to hang out with other rabbits
Bunnies also tend to do well with other bunnies but a proper introduction is required.
“They do better with socialization but there’s a bonding process,” Solowey said. “So Snoopy would need an introduction if there was another bunny in the house. They may not always get along so it’s always good to make sure you have a good fit.”
As for small children or any other animals in the house, Solowey said: “His ideal home would be calm, predictable, someone experienced with rabbits or other fearful animals. I’d say he would do best in an adult only home or one without young children or a lot of household activity. Kind of more of a quiet, calm space. Maybe if there’s older children who won’t be as hyperactive with him or kind of give him the calmness and space he needs for now.”
Just respect his boundaries, says Solowey.
“I would say the best way to win Snoopy over is quiet companionship, spending time near his enclosure, offering treats, speaking softly to him, allowing him to choose when and how he interacts and that with patience and consistency Snoopy has shown that he can build meaningful, rewarding relationships and when he does have that trust he loves to be petted and can be a lap bunny. He just needs to feel relaxed and safe.”
