Bio:
Lance is truly a big old boy at heart. He’s large, he’s lovable, and yes—he’s got that hilarious “honky” bark that makes everyone smile. What makes him special, though, is how grounded and easy he is to live with. He adores being near his human and leans in for attention, but he’s also perfectly content hanging out independently. If you leave him in the yard, he’ll pick the comfiest sun-patch and settle right in like an oversized house cat.

He and his best friend Maggie are playtime soulmates, and the two of them can be left alone together for short stretches with no issues. Lance knows how to walk on a leash, has been to multiple dog-friendly events, and has handled crowds, dogs, and noise like a champ. Inside the home, he’ll give you full couch-potato energy; outside, he’ll happily go romp and stretch his legs. He’s the definition of an easy dog to live with and would thrive in almost any home that wants a loving, steady companion.
