About Bambi

Meet Bambi! This 1-year-old Chihuahua weighs around 10 lbs and has a lovely yellow-tan coat. Bambi can be a little shy around new people and unfamiliar places at first, which is typical for her breed. She warms up quickly and has a playful spirit that comes alive when she’s with other dogs. Bambi would thrive in a home with another young, playful dog who enjoys sharing their antics. While she may initially bark and growl as a part of her first impressions, it’s really just a signal of her nervousness, not aggression. Once she feels safe, Bambi becomes a loving and smart little family member who learns quickly. This pup needs time, patience, and a family that can respect her need for space. If children are in the home, they should be dog-savvy and at least 12 years old, as Bambi prefers her independence and may not enjoy being held or dressed up. Bambi is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. The adoption fee is $375. Ready to welcome this sweet girl into your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
