Bolt Adopted

Update 10/19/09 Bolt, a 3 year old corgi mix, has settled into his Vermont foster home this first day with nary a bark or a whimper, ignoring the four cats that curiously surrounded and sniffed him, and not being intimidated at all by his two much larger foster siblings. He sat without being asked while the leash was put on him, and did the same thing when coming back indoors. What a loveable gentleman! He loved curling up into a corner of the couch tonight, but after his last walk outside for the night, went very agreeably into his crate and snuggled into a comfortable doggy bed. Stay tuned for more news about this cuddly guy.

Bolt has arrived into foster care in Vermont!

Bolt is approximately 3 years old in these pictures taken August 20, 2009. He is a very sweet, loving, and gentle boy who gets along great with people of all ages. Bolt gets along with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats either. He also loves belly rubs, car rides, and walks. Oh and he really enjoys cuddling too. Bolt is just a well behaved boy all around. Bolt looks like a yellow lab in the shape of a bassett. He is 25 lbs.

Bolt isn't a fan of thunder storms, and avoids men with beards. He isn't aggressive towards the men but cowers. He was found by some people who tried to find his owners but they were never found. They cannot keep Bolt because their house is pretty full with their own pets.

Bolt went to the vet on August 20, 2009 and received all of his shots, was tested for Heartworms/Lyme/Ehrlicha, and parasites. He tested negative for everything. Bolt weighed 24.2 pounds. Bolt is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
