My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bolt⚡

Bolt is an incredibly sweet German Shepherd who loves everyone he meets. Don't let his grey muzzle fool you, this boy is only 4 years old and is a bundle of energy! Bolt loves to go on walks with staff and volunteers, but also loves his kennel cuddle time.

Bolt has an immune mediated disease called Furunculosis which leaves him with little wounds all over his body and paws when untreated. Bolt is currently healing up from a few larger wounds but is really being the best patient we could ask for. He eats all his meds without any protest when we hide the pills in wet food or treats.

German Shepherds are often predisposed to Furunculosis and Bolt will need ongoing care and medication to keep it at bay for the rest of his life. When treated correctly, this disease won't hold Bolt back from being the fun and playful dog we know he can be!

At the moment, we are unsure how Bolt will do with another dog or cat in the home.

Bolt is available to go into foster-to-adopt until our vet's clear him for adoption.

Thank you for your interest in adopting! Do you think you could be Bolt's person? Fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire today!

Friendly tip: If you're looking for a surefire way to make your application to stand out, consider telling us a little bit more about yourself in the final section! What brought you to adopt? Have you had any previous pets? What makes you the perfect match for this animal? Write as little or as much as you'd like!
