Bambi is an absolutely adorable young Shih Tzu.  At only 1-1/2 years old, she has been a momma two times over.  No more mom duties for this sweetpea!  It's now her time to be a pampered pooch! 

Bambi is a spirited pup with just a touch of attitude!  Bambi puts on a 'tough girl' persona when she meets new people, growling and standoffish.  In reality, because she is so small and humans look like veritable giants to her, she just needs time to warm up to people she doesn't know, but once comfortable she looks forward to belly rubs and cuddles.  She also barks an alert at newcomers to the home, so probably isn't apartment appropriate.  Bambi enjoys walks and does pretty good on a leash.  She loves, loves, loves to play with the resident dogs in a never-ending game of chase and tumble.  All the resident dogs are small.  We noticed she is very afraid of big dogs.  She appears to be house trained and scratches at the door to let you know she has to go potty.     

Bambi visited the veterinarian and was found to be in good overall health.  She received needed vaccinations and was microchipped.  She is scheduled for spay surgery in mid-January 2026.  Bambi will also need regular, ongoing grooming which is an additional cost that should be considered in her overall care.

Happy Days Dog & Cat Rescue requires a Spay/Neuter Contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization at the time of adoption. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. HDDCR holds a deposit [$50 for dogs, $25 for cats] in addition to the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog or cat was spayed/neutered by the date stipulated on the Spay/Neuter Contract. The deposit will be refunded to the adopter if spay/neuter was done according to the Spay/Neuter Contract signed by the adopter.

Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The microchip is transferred to the adopter once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a one-time $15 microchip enrollment fee, paid at the time of adoption.  Microchips are enrolled with AKC Reunite.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
