Meet Bamby, a handsome 5-year-old neutered Dalmatian mix with a gentle spirit and a nose that never quits! His favorite part of any walk is stopping to investigate every interesting scent, making each outing his own little adventure. While toys aren't really his thing, treats and booty scratches are the way to his heart! Bamby already knows "sit," takes treats politely, and loves earning snacks from his favorite people. He's also been reported to enjoy car rides and was crate trained in his previous home. Bamby has done well meeting other dogs at the shelter, including enjoying walks and playtime with a canine friend, though a meet-and-greet is always recommended to ensure a good match. His previous family shared that Bamby is a talented escape artist, so he'll need a secure yard with a locked gate or a home where he's primarily an indoor companion with supervised outdoor time. Because he can be sensitive to some handling, he'll do best in an adult-only home. Like many shelter dogs, Bamby experienced kennel stress and is currently taking anti-anxiety medication to help him through the transition. Most dogs adjust beautifully once they're home, and his adopter should plan to work with their veterinarian on gradually weaning the medication if appropriate. If you're looking for a sweet, loyal companion who loves sniff-filled walks, tasty treats, and plenty of affection, Bamby is ready to find the loving home he's been waiting for.
