About Bolt (Belgian Malinois) in Imlay City, MI 48444

Bolt is waiting for you at Malinois and Dutch Shepherd Rescue, Inc. in Imlay City, MI 48444. Meet Bolt – #MADLoveBoltBolt's story started just before the holidays when he and another dog wandered into a quiet Miami neighborhood after spending time near a very busy road.
