Meet Bambi - Eight Pounds of Pure Puppy Joy

Bambi is an 8-pound Dachshund mix puppy who is still growing, although we're pretty sure her personality has already grown bigger than the entire state of Missouri.

This little girl is pure puppy happiness wrapped up in one tiny, wiggly body. In fact, we're not entirely convinced Bambi knows how to walk. She mostly wiggles, bounces, zooms, and launches herself enthusiastically toward whatever exciting thing catches her attention next.

And Bambi has opinions. Lots of them. She's perfectly happy to voice those opinions when she feels the situation calls for it-which only adds to the enormous personality packed into those 8 little pounds.

Everything is an adventure right now. There are toys to play with, smells to investigate, places to explore, people to charm, and approximately one million things she hasn't learned yet. Bambi will need a family ready for all the fun and responsibility that comes with raising an active puppy, including continued training, socialization, exercise, and plenty of ways to keep that growing little brain busy.

Most of all, Bambi is just happy. The kind of happy that's contagious. She brings laughter and joy to the people around her simply by being herself.

Somewhere out there is a family whose life is about to get a whole lot brighter, louder, wigglier, and more entertaining.

They just don't know Bambi is coming yet. ❤️
