Dog Reaches Paw Out Hoping to be Noticed. For seven long months, Lancer lived at the City of Mobile Animal Services. Despite being a loving and sweet dog, no one asked to meet him. He was overlooked by potential adopters, but Lancer didn’t give up. He came up with his own way to get noticed.
Whenever someone walked by his kennel, Lancer would stick out his paw, hoping someone would stop. His body pressed against the kennel bars as he reached out for attention. He simply wanted love, but day after day, no one chose him.

Lancer always tried to get people to hold his paw. Mary Kate Hale, the digital media manager for the shelter, said this about him. He was well-known for his gentle nature and his love for peanut butter. After his playful zoomies, he’d relax in the shade, legs stretched out like a frog.
One day, a volunteer passed by and saw Lancer’s signature move. They couldn’t resist taking a photo of him, looking so cute. They shared it on social media with a heartfelt caption, and the response was immediate.
In just 24 hours, Lancer’s picture caught the eye of Nick, a man who instantly fell in love. Nick saw the sweetness in Lancer’s eyes. He knew he was the right person to give him the love he deserved.
Now, Lancer has a forever home where he’s thriving. Every time he reaches out his paw, his new dad, Nick, is always there to hold it.
