Pet of the Week Bolt - Fox29 WFLX TV, West Palm Beach, Florida-

Meet our Pet of the Week Bolt. He's a 4-year-old Lab mix.

Bolt had a rough start in life, and still has the scars to prove it. When he was just a young pup, he was found injured by his previous owner. He was nursed back to health and given a home for the next four years.

Then, unfortunately, they had to move out of the country and weren't able to take Bolt with them. The difficult decision was made to bring him to our shelter where we are now trying to find him a new forever home that will show him the same love and kindness that he found as a puppy in his time of need, and now needs once again.

And whatever happened to him all those years ago seems to have stayed with him to some extent. He's a little bashful with strangers at first, so he'll need someone to go slow with him and introduce him to new things at a pace he's comfortable with.   

Bolt is up for adoption at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, and if you adopt Bolt, his initial exam is free complements of our Pet Connections vet sponsors.

Harmony Animal Hospital in Jupiter, Community Animal Hospital in Royal Palm and Calusa Veterinary Center in Boca Raton.
