BOLT *COURTESY LISTING* - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat). COURTESY LISTING This dog is a courtesy listing (not in the AARF program) but we will be reviewing applications and helping the owner find the right home for BOLT. Please visit aarf-tn/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Meet Bolt – Your Big, Lovable Goofball! If you’re looking for a gentle giant with a heart full of love, Bolt is your guy! This 110+ pound German Shepherd mix has a sweet, silly personality that will keep you smiling. Whether he’s zooming around the yard with his back feet trying to outrun his front ones or flopping down for a nap on the couch, Bolt is a perfect mix of playful and laid-back. Bolt loves to play with balls and sticks when he's out in the yard. His dream would be a securely fenced yard where he can run and explore. He knows his basic commands such as sit, lay down and jump-especially when treats are involved! Bolt does great around female dogs and would thrive with a doggie companion. He enjoys the company of older, calmer children. One of his favorite activities is being brushed. Once you brush one side, he will turn around for you to do the other. Bolt would do best in a home with strong, confident owners who can continue his training and give him the love he deserves. A large yard where he can stretch his legs would be ideal, and a friendly canine buddy would make his heart happy. He’s best suited for a home with older children who understand his size and strength. Bolt is ready to find his forever home where he can be loved, trained, and cherished. If you’re looking for a big, lovable companion who will bring joy and laughter to your life, Bolt is waiting for you! Interested in adopting?

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption.
