Story
Lance
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hiya! I’m Lance!
ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a boy!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Best estimate is that I was born sometime in 2021.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
French Bulldog + American Staffordshire Terrier mix.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
Around 40 pounds.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
If I do say so myself, I'm pretty handsome. I'm about 20 inches tall and 32 inches long with beautiful brindle coloring, soulful brown eyes, and an adorable white patch on my chest. Oh, and don’t get me started on my adorable smile! The best!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Pretty much everything! My foster mom feeds me Blue Buffalo kibble with pumpkin, rice, or sweet potato to help keep my tummy happy and healthy.
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am a giant cuddle bug trapped inside a sturdy little bully body. My favorite thing in the world is being close to my people. I love laying next to you, staring into your eyes, getting belly rubs, and falling asleep while being petted. I get very excited when it's time for a walk and may do a few happy circles before sitting patiently for my leash. I enjoy naps on my dog bed, in my crate, or stretched out in a sunny spot.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day starts with breakfast and a nice long walk. Then it's time for a nap, some belly rubs, and hanging out with my humans. After lunch, I'd love another walk, some time outside soaking up the sun, and maybe a chew bone. I'd finish the day with dinner, an evening stroll, and lots of cuddles before bed.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
My bone!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I know sit, stay, and leave it. I'm currently learning how to lay down.
WHAT SCARES YOU?
I'm still learning about the world, but I can be a little unsure in new situations. Having my people nearby helps me feel safe and confident.
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
Yes! I love children and enjoy being around people of all ages.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I'm not sure yet. I haven't had the opportunity to meet any cats.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I get very excited when I meet other dogs and usually want to play right away. Sometimes I bark when they don't want to play with me, but I'm learning better manners and how to stay calm when meeting new friends. Please set me up for success with slow introductions to other dogs.
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Wherever my people are. Whether we're on a walk, watching TV, or just hanging out at home, being with my family is my favorite place to be.
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
My health is great! I do have allergies and receive a monthly allergy shot to help keep me comfortable and itch-free. Other than that, I'm a happy, healthy guy.
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and foster auntie. My foster mom is definitely my favorite person, but I love my foster auntie too.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I relax either in my crate or on my dog bed, depending on how long I'll be alone. Since I spend most of my day snoozing, I'm perfectly happy as long as I have a comfy place to nap.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate at night. I'd love to sleep in bed with my humans, but I'm happy as long as I'm in the same room as my people.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Absolutely! Walks are one of my favorite activities. I can be a strong puller, so I'm continuing to work on my leash manners.
DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I'm still learning a few things. I can get excited on walks and pull on the leash. I also get very excited around other dogs and sometimes bark when they don't want to play. And if you leave the couch or bed unattended, I may be tempted to see if there's room for me too. Luckily, I'm smart and eager to learn.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED?
Yes! I am fully house trained and do a great job going potty outside.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
Baths are not my favorite thing. My foster mom has to keep a close eye on me because I'd rather make a quick escape. I haven't had the chance to try swimming in a pool or lake yet, so I'm not sure how I feel about those.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that my foster family works from home and spends lots of time with me. We go on several walks every day, they play with me, cuddle me, and make me feel loved. I just want to be wherever they are.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?
Since NorCal Bully Breed Rescue pulled me out of the shelter, I have learned what it feels like to be loved, cared for, and part of a family. Now I'm ready to find my forever home and spend the rest of my life loving my people as much as they'll love me. Does that sound like you? Let’s do this!
