Urgent rehome!! This is bambi🩷, looking to rehome our 4 year old golden lab/ Pitt mix. She is great with kids and loves to cuddle. Her favorite thing to do is run around so if you are looking for a running buddy she is the best for the job. She is a big goofball.Unfortunately we have to give her up because we lost our place and my family is letting us stay with them but don’t want any animals.
