My name is Lance!

Meet Lance — a tiny guy with a big personality and a whole lifetime of adventures ahead! Lance is a young puppy (approximately 7 weeks old as of 01/17/26) who is now officially available for adoption and ready to start his journey with a committed, loving family. Based on his appearance, he is believed to be a Kelpie/Terrier mix, but as with all stray puppies, breed is only our best guess and cannot be guaranteed. Just like his future size, his exact breed makeup is a mystery, which means he could grow to be smaller, larger, or right in between — part of the fun of puppy parenthood is watching that surprise unfold. He's at that irresistible stage of life where everything is new, exciting, and occasionally something to chew on. He's playful, curious, and learning about the world one paw at a time. Lance's adoption fee is $125, which includes his neuter (to be completed at 12 weeks of age), microchip, first DAPPV booster, Bordetella booster, and first round of dewormer. He is required to return to Rockwall Adoption Center on Wednesday, 02/18/26 for his neuter and rabies vaccination. This appointment is non-negotiable and is required by Texas state law as part of the adoption contract.

Adopting a young puppy means committing to potty training (yes, even at 2 a.m.), chewing (your shoes are officially on notice), training and socialization, structure, patience, and consistency, and teaching them how to grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog. Lance will need time, dedication, positive training, and proper socialization to become the amazing companion he's meant to be. If you're ready for puppy classes, play sessions, structure, and lots of love (plus a few chewed toys along the way), Lance just might be your perfect match. If you're prepared for the responsibility—and the joy—of raising a puppy the right way, Lance is ready to meet his forever family.
