**Now fostered in Truxton, NY** If you’re looking for a tiny queen with a big personality, a hilarious sense of humor, and just enough sass to keep life interesting… meet Bambi. This girl is pure entertainment wrapped up in the cutest little package. She’s the kind of dog who will have you laughing without even trying, flashing that big smile of hers, and somehow becoming the main character of your life overnight. Bambi doesn’t just exist in your home… she runs it (lovingly, of course). Watch her video and fall in love with her personality: Bambi is believed to be a chihuahua mix, around 6 years old, and approximately 30 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. What we can guarantee? She’s a certified Texas Special. A perfect mix of all the best things that somehow created one incredible dog. Let’s get one thing straight… Bambi is QUEEN B. She loves her people deeply and she absolutely expects her fair share (okay… all) of the love and attention. Belly rubs? Hers. Ear scratches? Hers. Treats? Also hers. And honestly, you won’t even mind because she makes it impossible not to adore her. She’s affectionate, snuggly, and will happily curl up with you on the couch. Especially if you’re wearing cozy clothes because yes, she is that kind of girl. She has a really fun, playful side too. Bambi loves tug-of-war, chasing toys, and bringing that bouncy, silly energy when she’s in the mood. She’s especially entertaining because sometimes she brings the game right into your lap. Personal space is optional when you’re having fun. Her favorite toys include Lamb Chop and her bunny, and if one falls off the couch? Out of sight, out of existence. It’s honestly hilarious. With other dogs, Bambi can be a bit particular. She’s not the type to love every dog she meets, but with the right match, she can really enjoy playtime, especially with dogs who match her energy and understand her style of play. Think confident, respectful dogs who enjoy wrestling, chase, and a little bit of rough-and-tumble fun, but who also know when to take breaks. She would also be perfectly happy as your one and only, soaking up all the attention and being the center of your world (which, let’s be honest, is her preference). She has met cats and did well overall, showing curiosity and even trying to initiate play. She would do best with a dog-savvy cat who doesn’t mind her playful interest and can hold their own if needed. Bambi is a smart girl who loves to learn. She already knows sit, shake, stay, and is working on lay down. She’s very treat motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for both of you. The behavior team even believes she could excel in trick training or dog sports. She’s quick, agile, and loves engaging with her person. In the home, she’s a total gem. She’s potty trained, not destructive, and does great in a crate. She sleeps there overnight and settles easily. She’s also what we like to call a “passenger princess” in the car… she LOVES car rides and will happily load herself up, ready for whatever adventure you have planned. When it comes to people, Bambi is very social and loves attention. She may get a little excited and jump if she feels like she’s not being greeted fast enough (honestly relatable), but she settles quickly and then acts like you’ve been best friends forever. She’s done great around older kids (10+) and would thrive in a home with dog-savvy children who can match her playful energy. She’s a great mix of calm and playful. Happy to go for walks, play, and have fun, but also perfectly content lounging and snuggling at home. She would do well in an apartment or a house, just keep in mind she does have a little voice when it comes to treats… she likes to say “please” loudly sometimes. We personally think it adds to her charm. Her ideal home would be one where she’s loved, included, and appreciated for exactly who she is. A funny, affectionate, slightly sassy, incredibly lovable little queen. A yard would be a bonus, or someone committed to daily walks and playtime. She would thrive with someone who enjoys having a dog with personality, who wants a companion that brings both laughter and love into their life. Bambi is the kind of dog that makes you wonder how you ever lived without her. She’s fun, she’s loving, she’s endlessly entertaining, and she has so much personality packed into her little body. Her foster said it best, if circumstances were different, she’d already be staying forever. So if you’re ready for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and then curl up with you like she’s always belonged there… Bambi is ready to take over your heart (and your couch).

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress! Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded. It doesn’t stop there!
