My story

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

I got carried away taking photos of Lance because he’s so cute and was so photogenic! The shelter has Lance listed as a Staffordshire Terrier. My Dog Scanner said he’s a miniature Bull Terrier and Dogo Argentino mix. He’s three years old and weighs 56 pounds. He came to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/18 as a stray. He’s got captivating big brown eyes, stand-up ears and is a low rider. Mix it all together and you have an adorable guy! I was met in his kennel with tail wags and from then on his tail never stopped wagging. He’s obviously a very happy guy. He was also alert keeping an eye on the goings-on beyond the gate. He sits for treats and takes them gently. He occasionally jumps on you but gets down with a sharp retort. He would wander out into the yard, and then come back and look at me. He then would repeat this behavior over and over. He wanted affirmation. He’s friendly and good-natured. He may be housebroken as he did his business as soon as he got out into the yard. He had a semi-strong pull on the leash. He wagged his tail meeting some of the dogs in the bay. Judging from the calluses on his elbows, I’m assuming that Lance has been mostly an outside dog. Lance would like to be an inside dog this time around. He would like to share family time with you. He would love to snuggle up next to you!
