Meet Lightning Bolt – Sweet, Smart & Snuggly!

DOB: 11/14/2025
Sex: Female
Breed: Possibly Bulldog Mix
Estimated Adult Weight: 50–60 lbs

Lightning Bolt is full of personality and charm! She loves to play hard and zoom around like any happy puppy, but she’s also an extra-big cuddle bug once she slows down. If there’s a lap, a blanket, or a couch nearby, she’s ready to claim it.

She has absolutely stunning brindle coloring that makes her as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. Lightning Bolt is very sweet, incredibly smart, and already knows how to play fetch — especially when the toy is a ball that bounces and makes noise. If it squeaks or rattles, she’s in heaven.

💔 Lightning Bolt and her sister were abandoned by their owners as tiny babies and lovingly bottle-fed by their foster mom. Because of that early care, Lightning Bolt grew up confident, affectionate, and deeply bonded to people.

🩺 Medical Note: Lightning Bolt has a small eye surgery already scheduled for entropion (her eyelashes grew inward). It’s a routine procedure, and she’s expected to do great with it.

Lightning Bolt is looking for a forever family who will give her love, structure, playtime, and lots of cozy cuddle sessions.
