Maybe Steve doesn't know Pepper as well as he thought. (Or maybe, just maybe, both of them are under the influence of something right now. But that doesn't even occur to him.) He rolls his eyes as she steps inside, overbearing with her attempt to hand the gift over.
At this point, he may as well just let her leave the rabbit here and he can toss it out later. Anything to get her to leave him alone, really.
Steve doesn't particularly mind when she rushes over to release Dodger, since the puppy is far more interested in her than him right now. Plenty of people put their dogs in crates overnight, to prevent them from peeing somewhere they're not supposed to, or to make sure they don't tear anything up. He may not have had the purest reasons for it this time around, though.
"If you want, you can take him for a few days. I wouldn't mind," Steve says as he shifts around on the bed and rests both of his arms behind his head. No, he wouldn't mind even one bit. Although it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. Pepper lives right next door to him, so he'd probably hear Dodger barking through the wall anyway.
