Your new furry friend: Bolgie

Meet Bolgie, a long-term shelter resident who has been patiently waiting for his forever home for over two years. This sweet boy has been in a foster home for just over month and is blossoming now he is away from shelter life. Bolgie is a big boy – about 70 pounds – but don’t let this put you off – he is one of the most gentle, friendliest, happy-go-lucky dogs you are ever likely to meet. Indeed, his tail never stops wagging!  

Bolgie is about 5 years old, is house trained and is getting to grips with “sit”, “stay” and his favourite “treats”.  

This sweet boy loves going to the beach for a dip in the sea, or for a walk. Unfortunately, when he came to the shelter he was in bad way having been left by his previous owners to fend for himself.  

He had a poor front paw, which resulted in one of his toes having to be amputated. Because of this, he walks with a very slight limp, so short, regular walks work best, or a long walk with regular breaks. He also needs a little bit of practice on the leash as he tends to get a little over excited, but he is getting the hang of it.  

Bolgie gets on great with other dogs – he is living with three others. However, he would be fine as an only dog too. Bolgie really would make a loving four-legged friend and a lovely loyal companion. If you are ready to open your home to a pooch, please consider Bolgie! Contact the Humane Society and ask to speak to Bolgie’s foster parents who will be able to tell you everything about this sweet boy.
