About Bambi

Bambi is a Lab/Terrier mix who came to the shelter with her three puppies—she’s proved herself a loving, devoted mother. Now that her pups are weaned and she’s recently spayed, her energy level is starting to mellow, but she’s still bursting with excitement and curiosity. Bambi is under two years old and acts like it: she’s athletic, always ready for playtime, and really comes alive outdoors. She’s shown she can push fencing aside if she thinks there’s adventure on the other side, so a sturdy, fenced-in yard is a must for her. Kenneling during the day is recommended, and her adopters will get advice on the safest setup for her. She’s full of affection and is eager to learn how to channel her enthusiasm through better manners. Bambi is looking for an active family who appreciates her playful spirit and can give her plenty of time and space to thrive. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
