Bolt's story is one of survival and hope. This brave street dog was cruelly beaten, thrown into a lake, and left to die. When our team rescued him, his injuries were severe-his eyes had to be removed to save his life. But despite everything, Bolt recovered and showed the world his resilience.
As an adult blind dog in India, Bolt has no adoption prospects. But there is hope! Bolt's rescue highlights the harsh reality for many stray dogs in India-facing abuse, neglect, and little chance of adoption, especially for those with disabilities. We Need to Raise $1,275 to Fly Bolt to the UK! Titer Test: $300 Microchip: $25 Travel Carrier: $200 Flight Ticket: $350 Pet Relocation Broker: $100 Miscellaneous: $300 From March 25-28, GlobalGiving is matching up to $50 by 50%!
A kind-hearted woman, Eleanor Drew from the UK, has stepped forward to adopt him, giving him the second chance he deserves. Now, all that stands between Bolt and his new home are the travel costs and necessary documentation. Finding him a home not only gives him a safe and loving future but also challenges the stigma against street dogs, proving they can thrive as pets. This project helps one dog find a home while making room to save another, doubling our impact.
Bolt's journey is more than just finding a home-it proves that street dogs, even those with disabilities, are loving and adaptable. His adoption sets an example, encouraging more people to give these dogs a chance. It also frees up space in our shelter, allowing us to rescue another dog in need. By helping Bolt, you're not just changing one life-you're making room to save another. Your support creates a ripple effect, promoting adoption and giving more strays a second chance.
