“Bolt” of Sunshine
At Home Nursing Care is pleased to announce that our puppy, rescued form a shelter in Mexico, is improving inHome Care. He is ready to “Bolt” into action as a “Bolt of Sunshine” for our clients. This adorable Austrian Sheppard puppy will soon be doing some “saving” of his own – by providing a little puppy love to our inHome Care clients.
Named “Bolt” in honor of the San Diego Chargers, the puppy’s turn in luck from abandoned to “employed” by At Home Nursing Care as an inHome Care therapy dog was all thanks to a bet on a Charger’s Game.
Rescue Dog to the Rescue
Lynda Clerke, At Home Nursing Care’s Community Relations Director, describes how Bolts dog rescue story happened.
“It was December 2014 and the Chargers were playing the Kansas City Chiefs. A win would land the Chargers in the playoffs. My husband, Dennis, bet the Chargers were going to lose when the Chiefs were within a field goal of a victory. My son, Chad, said, ‘I’ll take that bet and if the Chargers win, I get a puppy!’
The deal was struck and Charger fans know what happened next – the Chiefs missed the field goal and the Chargers went to the playoffs. One day after the bet, we had this adorable 4 pound puppy, which my son chose to name Bolt!”
Lynda – who heads the Medical Ministry program for the Rock Church in her free time – has a heart for service and she recognized this in Bolt as well. She wanted to make our inHome Care better than ever.
This month, Bolt graduated from his first round of training as a therapy dog – earning accolades from his trainer along with his diploma! While at work providing inHome Care, he’s still a little rambunctious and has a little bit more training and growing up to do – but his future is to be a “Bolt” of sunshine for our clients and our community.
Graduation Day!
Once his training is complete, Bolt and Lynda will be visiting At Home Nursing Care’s inHome Care clients who want the companionship and love of a dog, but who can’t have pets full time at their inHome Care in San Diego. We will also provide visits at no cost to rehabilitation centers, hospitals, or community service groups who request a “Bolt” of sunshine.
Welcome to our staff Bolt!
