Bamby

My story

Meet Bamby – A Mighty Heart in a Tiny Body Bamby may only weigh 8 pounds, but don’t let her size fool you—this 1-year-old Chihuahua mix is bursting with spunk, curiosity, and potential. Bamby came to us as part of a group of under-socialized dogs who hadn’t experienced much human interaction. While she’s still very cautious around people, she adores other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly pup to show her the ropes. Her foster brother is more than 50 pounds, but that doesn’t stop her—she joyfully zooms around him, ready to play at any moment. Her favorite game? Fetch. Especially with her beloved little orange ball. She’ll bring it back to you over and over, eager to please and full of joy—so long as she can keep a little distance while doing it. Bamby is pad trained, crate trained, and has made incredible progress in her foster home. Since March, she’s learned to be more curious than fearful, more playful than shy. But she still has a journey ahead. She’s not ready for snuggles or laps just yet—but when you look into her eyes, you can tell she wants to be. She just needs time, patience, and someone willing to love her exactly as she is. Her perfect match? A quiet, calm home with a fenced-in yard, another dog companion, and an adopter who’s as dedicated as they are kind—someone who understands that trust takes time, and love grows in small, beautiful steps. If you’re ready to be the hero in Bamby’s story and help her blossom into the dog she was always meant to be, we’d love to hear from you. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bamby, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
