Rabbits are best known for their large ears, like adoptable rabbit Mama Bunny here. But did you know that they can rotate those ears about 180 degrees? This means they can usually pinpoint the exact location that a sound is coming from. On top of this, a rabbit uses their ears to cool down and regulate their body temperature. The large surface area of their ears actually radiates away any excess heat!

We're celebrating Rabbit Awareness Week all week long! Check out our available bunnies and consider Adopting or Fostering for us to make room for more rabbits looking for homes. We couldn't do it without you!

Sometimes the weather doesn’t allow us to get out and exercise our dogs as much as we’d like. When this happens, our canine companions can start to feel cooped up and agitated. So, how do we keep our pups entertained and exercised on those rainy days? Check out our newest blog post online for some great rainy day dog training activities for you and your dog to do together! 

What do you and your dog do together on a rainy day? We'd love to know!
