My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

lease allow us to introduce this handsome, gentle dog. This is Lance, a 2yr old, neutered male, Akita who weighs around 100lbs. Lance is looking for a strong, confident person who has experience with this breed or a similar breed. He is looking for someone who has time for some bonding. Please read his full description below to see if your home is a good match for him.

Lance needs a fenced yard that is attached to your house to keep him safe at home. The fence needs to be 6 foot or higher and needs to be strong and secure. Lance is a thinker and will see if he can get through doors and gates. Lance's best times here have been around other dogs. He is so good with our small and large dogs and he really enjoys interacting with them. We have seen Lance bond with one of our Animal Handlers here and it is wonderful to see. He is happy, wags his tail, plays and runs with her. He comes when she calls him, licks her to say hello and really finds his confidence when she is around. It took some time for him to learn to trust her. Because of Lance's history, we are requiring his home to have another dog that gets along with Lance.

He has a gentle, low key personality. He is trying to figure out how to trust people and acts like he has not been with a person long enough where he could learn to bond until he came here. He is powerful and needs someone who can hold onto him if he is in a new situation. If he is nervous, he will put on the breaks and lay down or he will pull you to go faster. Lance is intelligent and food motivated. He would do well with someone who is calm, patient and gives him time to just hang out and get used to you.

This beautiful dog has great potential with the right person who will spend time bonding with him. You can visit him during our Animal Viewing Hours below. If you have any questions about Lance, call our Adoption Coordinator, Jessica, at 410-313-2780 Option 0.
