My Sit with Bambi - A Volunteer Story

Today, I spent some time with one of the sweetest, most gentle souls you could ever meet—Bambi. This beautiful girl barely made it to the rescue, and her journey has been anything but easy. When I sat down beside her, I could feel the weight of what she had been through, and yet, despite it all, she greeted me with quiet trust.

Bambi is incredibly shy, her eyes telling a story of resilience, yet they carry a softness that pulls you in. As I sat there, she stayed close to the ground, clearly still recovering from the exhaustion of her past struggles. But even in her timid nature, there was a warmth—a gentle nudge toward hope.

We didn’t need words. Just being there, sitting in silence, was enough. I could feel her slowly letting go of the fear, taking small breaths of comfort. She didn’t ask for much—just a quiet place and the reassurance that she was safe now. And in those quiet moments, I realized how strong and loving she truly is.

Bambi has endured so much, but she’s still here, waiting for the love and care she deserves. Spending time with her was a reminder of how important it is to show kindness and patience to these incredible animals. Bambi may be shy, but I know she has so much love to give to the right person who will take her home and show her what it means to be truly safe and cherished.

If you’re looking for a special companion, Bambi is waiting. She’s quiet, loving, and so deserving of a second chance. I feel incredibly honored to have shared a moment of peace with her today, and I know that her forever family is out there, ready to help her feel at home.
