Meet Bolt, Our Big, Handsome Foster Boy!!

[Ann Kendig]

Mr. Handsome is now ready for his new forever home! He is one awesome doodle and I adore him! Bolt is a Goldendoodle with a wool coat that sheds very little. He will be four years old in December. This handsome dood is approx. 25 in. at the shoulder and weighs approx. 70 lbs. He has gained several pounds since he's been with us but the vet feels he could gain just a couple more pounds to be at a good weight for his size. He loves rides in the car, swimming, wrestling with his foster sister, chasing squirrels and giving big wet sloppy kisses in the morning to all of us, including Sheba and Duke. He has started to catch frisbees and loves to chase balls. Most times he plays his version of fetch -- throw me the ball and chase me to get it back. Bolt is wonderful in the house and there is no need to crate him, he has complete run of the house. Bolt is a happy boy and his tail is always wagging. He has loads of energy and needs plenty of exercise. He walks nicely on a leash and loves to be close to his people. He would do best in a home with no cats or small dogs. He could be an only dog but would enjoy the company of another dog that is around his size with an easy going personality.

Bolt came from a family that had a very busy lifestyle and he was left alone for hours each day either in the house, garage or outside. He was underweight and pretty boney. Due to his poor nutrition and a very bad case of hookworm his coat was very dry. His ears were packed with hair and he had an ear infection in both ears along with an upper respiratory infection. sHe is a smart boy and figured out how to unlatch the gate to his yard. He had free run of the neighborhood, at times, which wasn't so great as he had not yet been neutered. He needs a fenced yard with at least a five foot high fence with a very secure latch. Bolt is now neutered, microchipped, up to date on his shots and feeling much better. His coat is growing in much softer with good nutrition and supplements.

Bolt is being fostered in Lima, OH and soon his profile will be posted through the Doodle Rescue Collective. If you'd like to learn more about this handsome boy, feel free to send me a personal message here on DoodleKisses.

Thank you for fostering this handsome guy.   Bolt looks right at home with your doodles.....cream in the middle:)  In addition, give your doodles extra hugs from me for being such good doodle role models and showing Bolt the "ropes".  I am sure he will miss all of you when he goes on to his forever home.
