About Lancelot

Lancelot is a silly and affectionate 13-year-old schnauzer/yorkie mix currently in Houston, TX. Weighing in as a small-sized dog, he was originally found as a stray but has since blossomed in his foster environment. His absolute favorite thing is curling up to cuddle with you at night; he thrives on company and gentle affection. Lancelot is friendly with other dogs and, while he hasn't lived with cats, his foster feels he'd likely be fine sharing space with a feline. He's house trained and even knows how to use a doggy door, which makes daily routines easy. Lancelot is blind, but he navigates his surroundings well after just a little time. Because of this, he would do best in a home with older children who understand the need to approach him gently. When startled by being picked up, he may get nippy—patience and a calm environment will be key as he settles in. Once comfortable, he's lower energy and easygoing, with a sweet disposition that shines through. Lancelot is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and hopes to find a family who will treat him with kindness and respect. Fun fact: Lancelot's birthday is March 20, which makes him a sensitive and intuitive Pisces! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
