Lance - Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Lance, a sweet, playful boy with plenty of spunk and the cutest freckles you’ve ever seen!

Lance loves having fun, whether he’s playing tug-of-war, romping around with his toys, or enjoying zoomies with his siblings, Loki and Lucy. He’s also a big fan of cuddling and loves giving and receiving affection. Sometimes you may even catch him chasing his own tail—he’s pretty good at entertaining himself!

His foster mom is still getting to know all the little details of his personality, but one thing is already clear: Lance is an adorable, affectionate pup who will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give.

And those freckles? They’re guaranteed to make him stand out!

Lance is looking forward to finding a family who will shower him with love, playtime, and plenty of cuddles.

Lance is estimated to be 8 weeks old and 5 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.
