Royal - Collie and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Omaha, Nebraska

Some dogs like Royal come into our lives and bring so much joy while quietly touching all who have met him, yet still he is passed over time and again. Maybe for those of us that love him so darn much, it's hardest for us to watch but still we remain hopeful that someday his person will find him!

This brings us to why and how to answer when asked "How is he not adopted yet when he's such a good boy?" Perhaps it's that he has a fear of alpha dogs, but so many people want just one dog (which he'd prefer) so why not him? Maybe it's because he’s not a fluff puff type guy but at around 6 0 pounds he's certainly not huge. Yes, Royal craves love and attention but who doesn’t want a best friend to love them with their whole heart while serving up slobbery kisses?! No, he’s not a puppy but that can be a positive as he’s potty trained, crate trained, has great manners and at 3 years old Royal has years yet to give you his undying love!

This handsome boy currently lives with 3 non-dominant dogs that are his size, but he may be best as the only attention hog dog in his home. He would require a strict proper dog intro although he'd love to live solo with a 6 foot fenced in yard! Favorite activity is relaxing with and loving on his people. He thrives on a routine, unconditional love, an empty lap and snuggling in bed! Royal is smart, loyal and is easy to keep busy with bones. Once you’ve met him and he knows and trusts you, in oh maybe 30 seconds flat tops, he thinks he is put on this earth for you so you may have a best friend permanently attached to you!

Please help our Royal find his person either by
