The ordeal first began on June 24 when theMiller Hollerfrontman found the fawn in his yard in Cheatham County, Tennessee. “Found this little sweetheart yesterday in the yard, so we took her into the woods. Came out this morning, and she was laying in the driveway,” he wrote alongside aphotoof the animal at the time. “So I guess we have a deer now.”

Two days later, the musician then shared another post, in which his adorable canine can be seen cuddling up beside the fawn with a smile on her face. “Words can’t describe this cuteness,” Pollifronesaid.

According to Pollifrone’s post, he called several local animal rescues looking for a new home that could care for Bambi long-term but was informed they weren’t “taking any newbies.” He also said that the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency was “tough to get ahold of.”
