🐰 Say hello to Bernard 🐰 Or Bernie, if you’re friends (and you will be!). After a rough start, Bernie is learning all about the good life as a house rabbit. He can be a little shy at first, but once you earn his trust, Bernie will be your BFF for life. He’s a tidy guy with perfect litter box habits, knows his name, and will even come when called. He’s super smart and understands the word “No” too! Bernie is an active, curious, and energetic bun who LOVES to do laps and epic zoomies, so he’ll need plenty of room to stretch his legs. A small cage just won’t do for this zoomie king! In his foster home, he has a spacious exercise pen with a cage topper for when he can’t be supervised. Bernie is a fan of “spicy hay” (aka electrical cords!), so his future family will need to do some bunny proofing if he’s allowed to free roam. Keep him stocked with fun chew toys like edible wicker baskets, cardboard boxes, or chew logs and he’ll stay out of trouble! After playtime, Bernie will come find his humans for cheek rubs and nose pets. Quick movements and loud noises can still startle him, so he’d thrive in a quieter home with older kids and pets and with an experienced bunny owner to help him feel safe and loved. Could Bernie be your new best friend? 💙 🐇 Learn more and apply to adopt at hsdayton.org/adopt/small-animals #AdoptDontShop #HouseRabbit #BunnyLove #DaytonHumaneSociety #AdoptBernie

As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, we wa As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, we want to remind everyone that July 4th is the top day of the year for pets to go missing or escape. Fireworks, cookouts, and large gatherings can cause stress and panic for our furry friends. That’s why the Humane Society of Greater Dayton is proud to partner with @petcolovelost —a FREE, innovative tool that uses facial recognition technology to help reunite lost pets with their families. Lost or found a pet? Head to hsdayton.org/lost to add your report to the Petco Love Lost database. Just upload a photo and let their powerful system do the matching—linking lost and found pets through shelters, neighbors, and community apps like Ring and Nextdoor. Before the fireworks start, make sure your pet has proper ID and explore this free tool—it could be the key to bringing your pet home faster. #PetSafety #July4th #KeepPetsSafe #LostPetHelp #PetcoLoveLost #HSGreaterDayton #ReunitePets #lostpets #foundpets #daytonohio #petco #fourthofjuly #independenceday
