Bambi Mixed Breed Athens, GA

Why Choose Me?
Meet Bambi! This sweet girl has blossomed in her foster home and is waiting for her forever family. Here is what her current foster wrote about her:
"Bambi is a sweetheart. It's taken awhile for her personality to come out but she has begun to let her inner self glow. Her current favorites activities are car rides and playing with the kitten. She likes the occasional run in the back yard. While still frightened of loud noises and crowds, she will let strangers pat her. We have found words and ways that are effective to correct her behavior without setting her back. She gets along with cats, dogs, kids- all of them!"

Bambi is a sweet mama. Two pups came in with her and while they don't all share a kennel, she didn't want them to be out of her sight. (We don't know whether they are actually her pups since they look nothing like her.)

She'd stand in the shade with me and then walk back to the gate to see her pups who were across the grassy area in their kennel. I plan on asking if this trio can have a little reunion the next time I'm here. I know they'd love that. Bambi is a quiet sweetie. She likes treats, pets, and knowing that her babies are safe. She's missing some fur along her back and needs someone who'll care for her as well as she's cared for her little ones.

* Bambi has tested positive for heartworms. So is only available for foster, foster-to-adopt, or rescue until she has been treated. To learn more about heartworms including how to prevent them, please go to https://www.heartwormsociety.org/.
