About Bourbon Baby The Mini

Bourbon Baby The Mini lives up to his name—a pint-sized, squishy-faced charmer who looks and acts like a forever puppy. With his short legs and bouncy personality, Bourbon Baby gives off a silly, joyful energy that's hard not to love. He's the kind of dog who makes playtime entertaining—zooming around on stubby legs, hopping like a bunny, and pulling everyone into the fun. Still, he knows how to wind down for a good nap. Playgroups are his jam, but he chills out just fine on his own, too. He’s believed to be a pit bull/lab mix, around a year old, medium-sized but with a low profile—only reaching about knee height. Dog lovers with a sense of humor will appreciate his turbo-charged, not-so-fast sprints and his goofy, affectionate nature. Bourbon Baby does best with other playful dogs and would thrive in a home with a yard for romping. He can do well in apartments, too, with some daily exercise and mental stimulation. He’s a total love bug after warming up and is house trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Please note: he does not get along with cats, so cat-free homes only. Great with dogs and children; easy to picture him as a lazy Sunday couch buddy or a work-from-home sidekick. The rescue is open to answering any questions or running additional behavioral checks to find the right match. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
