About Bolt

Bolt is a gentle, sweet boy who has faced more than most in his young life. After evading capture for months while running loose with a friend, he tragically lost his companion and had to fend for himself before being rescued. Now in his foster home, Bolt is starting to show his playful side, leaping and running like a graceful deer. At around 1-2 years old and weighing about 12 lbs, he likely has some Miniature Pinscher in him. Bolt thrives in calmer environments and would benefit from the presence of another dog to boost his confidence. Although he seems to be house trained and crate trained, he prefers quieter spaces, as he can be sensitive to loud noises and bustling areas. He gets along well with cats and would do best in a home without small children; older kids who understand his timid nature would be ideal. His adoption fee is covered, including his current health examination, vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, and flea and deworming treatments. Ready to fall in love?
