Thankfully he didn’t have to wait long before he met his new family. This lady came to our adoption event hoping to…
Bolt sprung out of here just one day before he was scheduled to be transported to New York as part of a shelter-to-shelter exchange. He’ll live locally now and enjoy being part of an active family. Thank you for adopting!
