mp;mdash; his forever family. I wanted to write you a little note to help you see what a special boy he truly is. Bambi is about 5 lbs — all heart, all sass, and all Chihuahua temperament, even if he’s only a Chihuahua mixed breed. He’s 8 years old, but don’t let that fool you — he still has a spark in his eyes and a little bounce in his step when he’s exploring the house. He’s got low energy overall and will happily spend most of his day curled in the safety of your lap (his favorite place in the world). But when the mood strikes, he’ll do a slow shuffle to check out what’s going on in each room — always with purpose, always with pride. He’s kind to kids and other dogs, but your family should understand that he’s a small dog with a big personality — the kind who knows what he likes, and how he likes it. That includes mealtimes. Bambi came from a heartbreaking situation where it’s clear he had to fight to survive, especially when it came to food. He’s working on trusting that food will always be there now, and he’s made beautiful progress — but he’ll need a home that continues to be patient and understanding as he heals. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, neutered, vaccinated, and has no medical concerns. He’s not perfect on a leash yet, but like everything else, he’s learning — slowly, gently, bravely. Bambi may be small, but his story is mighty. He’s ready to leave behind survival mode and step into a life where he is cherished, protected, and adored. I’ve done all I can to get him ready for you, and now it’s your turn to show him what it feels like to truly be home.

We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers. Most of our dogs are rescued from high kill shelters in the South. If the dog is posted, they are still available! Once arriving, these dogs enter foster homes, as we do not have a shelter. We cannot adopt out dogs to a home with dogs that are not fixed or up to date on shots. If interested in adopting, please submit an application online at .pack9rescue. Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs. Our adoption fee for unaltered puppies will be $400 which includes a refundable $50 deposit upon receipt of spay/neuter certificate. Learn more about adopting from us or volunteering for us at .pack9rescue or check us out on Facebook for more information and a complete list of dogs available for adoption. .facebook/PaCaringForK9s/
