Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Bolt is a loving and loyal companion looking for a patient and understanding forever home. This special dog deserves a chance at happiness with someone who understands their needs and can provide a stable, structured environment.

Personality
Bolt has a protective, independent spirit. Though he struggles with some human and pet interactions, he forms deep bonds with the right people. Bolt thrives in a calm, consistent environment where he can feel safe.

Special Considerations
Experienced owner required: Given Bolt's bite history with cyclists several years ago and a small dog this year, he requires a confident, experienced adopter who can provide structure.
Secure environment: A fenced yard is needed to give him a safe space to play and relax.
Other dogs: He can get along with other dogs if they have the right personality and fit and meet slowly, like a large submissive dog.

You could be the one to give him a second chance.
