Bolt Shepherd Mix West Des Moines, IA

AGE: 1 - 2 yrs

Bolt is a great family dog. He loves to play fetch, knows basic commands like sit and can shake, and walks nicely on a leash. He isn't sure how he feels about very young children or other dogs, but with proper introduction he may be ok. He loves to snuggle up in blankets and would love to be a lap dog!

Bolt was a stray from Ottumwa who our supporters paid his bail fee to get him off of death row at Animal Control.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an application on our website: www.hopeanimalrescueofiowa.org/adopt.html

All of our animals are located in foster homes around the Des Moines metro area. We are 100% volunteer run. Our volunteers' time is very valuable to us, so we ask for serious inquiries only.

The adoption fee for our adult dogs is $175. Purebred breeds & designer dogs are determined on a case by case basis depending on acquisition fees, etc. Senior dogs (7+ years) are $100. This fee covers spay/neuter surgery, current vaccinations, fecal/dewormer if needed, flea/tick treatment if needed, microchip & registration, and a free post-adoption wellness exam from Prairie View Animal Hospital in Grimes, Iowa. This is a veterinary service package valued at over $400. As we are run entirely on donations, the adoption fee merely covers a portion of the medical costs to prepare the dog for adoption. The remainder, as well as any special medical care need, & the daily care (food, treats, toys, beds) of the pooch are covered by donations. Please consider an additional donation to your adoption fee to help sponsor another animal who needs hope. If you haven’t found your new friend yet, but would like to help give hope to furry kids in need, you can donate direct here: www.hopeanimalrescueofiowa.org/donate.html
