We found Bodhi as a stray in the woods a few weeks ago. We were going to surrender him to the local animal shelter, however when we got there they were full and asked us to keep him for a few days while they cleared out space. After spending some time with him we quickly realized he would not do well in a kennel. We called the shelter and they provided resources for us to get him vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He is a super sweet pup and gets along well with our female dog. However, we no longer have the time or resources to continue fostering him and need to find him a loving home ASAP!
