Chance (Lance 04-307) [1]

Lance is a beautiful 9 mo. old, 55 lb., recently neutered male, light medium gold in color. Lance spent the first 8 mos. of his life in a confined area of a barn. He found his way to being adopted but was returned within the month when his new owner's living situation changed. Lance was again kept in an old barn-like structure until he made his way to RAGOM. This poor boy has had a very rough start in life. Lance is very thin and his legs are lacking in strength, probably due to inactivity. Lance was treated for tapeworm and they should be gone by now. Lance has had free rein in the house and there have been no "accidents" or destructive behavior, although he has only been left alone for a couple of hours at a time.

Lance sleeps very well along side the bed all night long. He likes to follow his people around and lays quietly on the floor when in the house, unless of course its meal time - then he can't decide which of the 3 dishes he would like to eat out of, so tries a little out of his foster-sisters' dishes too. Luckily they are very tolerant of sharing food.

Lance is already learning good manners. He is learning to sit, no jumping, his name and comes running when I call. Although he is on restricted activity due to the recent neuter, he likes to play with a ball and fetch. In fact he is so proud of his ball he prances in a full circle to show it off. Lance also enjoys playing with his foster sister and they play real well together.

Lance's records indicate that Lance lived with children ages 9, 11 and 14 (although it is not clear for how long - the 8 month or 1 month home) and cats and other dogs. Lance would love a fenced yard, and someone who has time to spend with him.
