My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bambi! This tiny 7-lb. Chihuahua, about 3 years old, is a sweet girl who has so much love to give! Between her big ears, red and white coat, and gentle demeanor, it’s surprising how deer-like she really is.

Bambi loves everyone, especially her people! She’s also good with dogs and kids (hasn’t been tested around cats). Even though it took her a little longer to warm up to her male foster, they have become great friends over just a few short weeks.

Bambi’s chihuahua nervousness shines through when meeting new friends, but she quickly warms up and just wants affection and a lap to sit on. Though a little rambunctious during greetings, she soon settles in and just wants to snuggle in a blanket near her people. She’s getting used to the concept of personal space — all she wants is to smother you in love and kisses.

Bambi has spent the last few weeks with her BFF, Tinkebell. Though not an officially bonded pair, being together gives them confidence and they are a great support to each other. They can be adopted together or separately. If they don’t stay together, Bambi would do best in a home with another dog. It has helped to have a friend to keep her company when her humans are away.

Bambi doesn’t know a lot of commands like sit and shake but has fairly good recall and is eager to please. It is unknown how Tink does in a kennel solo, but she is content kenneled alongside her new bestie, with only occasional whining. Like all new pups, Bambi will need to be shown where to go potty, but after a couple of initial accidents at her foster home, her housetraining has been spot on!

Bambi deserves all the love in the world. Her gentle sweetness might just be the secret ingredient your home needs! Check her out on Instagram @bambi_tinkerbell_the_fosters.

Bambi has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped.
