It's 2016. Dogs are out. Dog-sized rabbits are in.

This Glasgow-based continental giant rabbit named Atlas is looking for a new home. According to the Scottish SPC, Atlas loves getting attention and cuddles and is currently the size of a small terrier.

The Scottish SPCA is looking to house Atlas in a home that's familiar with his breed. "A standard rabbit hutch won’t do so his new owner will need plenty of space for him," says a spokesperson.

Continental giant rabbits can weigh as much as 35 pounds, grow up to 4 feet in length and live, on average, for about five years.
