Bolt is a rescue dog, which is extremely important to us. Bolt was 4 month's old when we adopted him from "A Forever Home Rescue Foundation." He was born in a hoarding house prior to being rescued. We've vowed to give him a much better life than the one he was born into. We get a lot of joy knowing we've given him a second chance at life, in a good home. It was love at first sight ;)
Bolt gets his name from a component on a firearm, particularly a rifle. Our family business caters to firearms enthusiasts, so it's a very fitting name that our customers enjoy. We also call him "Baby Boy" from time to time.....because he's our baby boy ;)
Bolt is in a unique situation being a "Shop Dog." He is always with us, at home and at work. There have only been a few times when we've had to leave him alone for a little while, and when we return he acts like we've been gone for years!!! Bolt is around people all day, and around children a lot. He is extremely gentle with kids, allowing them to pet him, play with him, and he'll give them puppy kisses all day long.
Bolt is our friend, our protector and a wonderful addition to our family. He has a unique face and personality that attracts people instantly, which works well because he is in the public all day as a "shop dog." We always say, Bolt brings us balance. No matter how long or stressful of a day we're having, Bolt can make everything better with just one hug. He loves to hug ;)
Bolt has the ability to curl his upper lip, we call it the "Elvis Lip" or "War Face." Even though he's perfectly calm, his curled lip looks like he's ready for battle. We give our customers and fans on social media a new "War Face" picture every week on "War Face Wednesday." Bolt loves to lay in the grass outside. As long as you curl up next to him, he'll lay there for hours, just sniffing the breeze and watching the birds.
Bolt rides to work and back home with us every day. No matter how cold or how hot, he prefers to have his whole head out the window. Only when it's raining will he sit inside. Even then, he ONLY rides in the front passenger seat, we don't even bother trying to sit in that seat anymore. ;)
I always like to remind new pet owners that pets are not toys or accessories. They are members of the family. Being a dog owner all my life, I can tell folks that any love and affection they give their pets will be returned ten fold. That kind of love is unconditional ;)

I think, for a lot of us that visit the store, that Bolt is dog we can't have. The thing about Bolt is that if he knows you, he will greet you as if you are the best person in his life (sure he's in it for the belly scratches), and you've been gone forever. Bolt is not just a shop dog, but the poster dog for rescues in Northern Virginia.
