Meet Henrietta – The Energetic and Curious Bunny Pup
Henrietta is a bundle of energy and curiosity, always eager to explore the world around her. With a unique quirk where her back legs are a bit taller than her front, she hops around like a little bunny or newborn deer—a sight that is as adorable as it is endearing. Despite her high energy, Henrietta isn’t overly mischievous; she just loves to check things out and learn about her surroundings.
Personality and Daily Life
Henrietta is very energetic during the day, filled with a contagious enthusiasm for play and exploration. She thrives on discovering new things, and her lively spirit makes every moment an adventure. She is exploring her surroundings and people as a full body experience - including teething. She is responsive to being redirected and corrected gently.
Henrietta adores her big foster buddy dog - she follows him everywhere, and tries to emulate him when possible. She doesn't have a fearful thought in her head and loves to tumble full on into any adventure - bring on new people and big dogs, and she is even more excited.
Once the day winds down and her energy is spent, Henrietta transforms into a cuddly companion who loves nothing more than to snuggle up with you for a cozy evening. Her balance of high-spirited curiosity and tender affection makes her a truly delightful pup.
Ideal Home
Henrietta would thrive in a home that can keep up with her energetic nature while also providing plenty of quiet, relaxing moments. She would do best with an adopter who enjoys interactive play during the day and can offer loving cuddle time when it’s time to wind down. A home with opportunities for safe exploration and room to play would be perfect for this spirited pup.
Veterinary Care Included
Henrietta will go home with:
- Up-to-date vaccinations
- Microchip for identification
- Heartworm preventative
- Flea and tick treatments
- Worm/parasite treatments
- Not spayed (her future family will need to arrange for spaying at the appropriate time)

Please note that because this puppy is so young, it has only received 2 of the required 3 puppy distemper vaccines. This is very IMPORTANT because it means that the immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age. Until then, the puppy MUST stay out of public places where it could be exposed to the germs of other dogs. These no puppy zones include all pet stores, dog parks, and for apartment dwellers, areas used by other dogs. These requirements are strictly for the puppy’s medical safety and longevity.
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
