About Bambi

Meet Bambi, a beautiful merle Great Dane with a big heart once you earn her trust. She can be a little cautious at first, especially with new people, but once she feels safe, her sweet and goofy personality shines through. It only takes some time and patience before she's ready to curl up across your lap, doze off by your side, or settle on the couch gazing out the window. She'll happily alert you to visitors or passersby, but otherwise she's a calm and easy companion around the house.

Bambi is very food motivated, which makes training fun—she'll often race ahead and sit before you've even given a cue, just to earn her reward. Bread is her all-time favorite treat (she acts like it's a five-star steak dinner!), and she's got impressive skills when it comes to catching treats midair. She also adores her walks and is overjoyed when she sees the leash come out, though one good walk a day is plenty for her. After that, she's content to nap or lounge.

She's got some adorable quirks too—whether it's resting her head dramatically over the armrest of the couch, riding along as your "backseat driver" in the car, or proudly carrying around her two favorite toys: a squeaky plush puppy and a rubber chicken. She plays gently with them and doesn't try to tear them apart, which makes her even more endearing.

Bambi is crate-trained, housetrained, walks well on a leash after the first few minutes of excitement, and rides beautifully in the car. She has also been muzzle-trained and will slip her head right in if she knows a hot dog is waiting at the end. The one thing she struggles with is nail trims—especially her front feet—so her future family will need patience and maybe some creative desensitization to help her through that challenge.

She gets along fine with other dogs on walks, but in the home she would truly thrive as the only pet where she can soak up all the love and attention. She has done well around her foster's teenage son and his friends, but she would be best suited for a home with adults or older kids rather than small children. She's also shown no prey drive toward cats or squirrels, though she'll chase if one dares run along the fence line.

Bambi's ideal home would be with a couple or family who are around often, patient enough to let her settle in at her own pace, and kind enough to continue building her trust. In return, you'll be rewarded with a loyal, gentle companion who will make you laugh with her quirks, warm your lap with her cuddles, and brighten your days with her sweet, soulful presence.
