Kid-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in Bellevue, NE: 15 Dogs Good with Children

His people are his everything! At around 60 pounds he's certainly not huge but oh he loves to be a lap dog or right beside you. 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?! This handsome guy is potty trained, crate trained, has great manners and at 3 years old Royal has years yet to give you his undying love!

Roy thrives on a routine, unconditional love, and snuggling! He is extremely smart, loyal and is easy to keep busy with bones. He also loves children (as you can see in his photo!), toys, walks and being the one and only king of his house. Although he and can walk by other dogs and even play occasionally with submissive dogs with supervision. Royal thinks he is put on this earth for you so you may have a best friend permanently attached to you in about 30 seconds flat!

This brings us to why and how to answer when asked "How is he not adopted yet when he's such a good boy?" The short answer is he prefers to be the only dog in the house. The reason? Our good boy Roy simply has a fear of some dogs, especially alpha dogs. Which we must say that so many people want just one dog in a house, so why not him? A 6 foot fence is preferable but can discuss.

Please help our Roy/Royal find his forever home by applying or sharing his story! Please apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org!

He's currently learning how to walk on a leash and is making great progress while practicing in the backyard. With a little patience and encouragement, this smart boy will continue to blossom.

Barnabas Collins is looking for a family that will give him the love, security, and forever home he deserves. Could you be the happy ending he's been waiting for? ❤️

To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $450 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs. We do not ship dogs.

Beezus had surgery on both knees before she turned a year old to correct luxating patellas, which made walking difficult. Thankfully, she's healed up beautifully and can run and play like any other pup! She'd love another friendly dog to play with, a cat to share her space with, or she'd be perfectly happy as your one and only, as long as you're willing to provide the snuggles.

She's housebroken, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is well behaved when left to roam the house. The perfect dog! She sleeps quietly through the night with her people, too. Beezus does have some seasonal allergies that have been well managed with Cytopoint injections as needed, typically during late summer and fall.

Beezus is the whole package! Sweet, playful, friendly, well behaved, and ready to be someone's favorite cuddle buddy. She's spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her forever home! Her adoption donation fee is $375.

If you’re looking for an awesome little companion, Beezus is ready to meet you! Please apply directly in the dropdown menu on our website at

Grasshoppers, however, should probably make their own arrangements.Her favorite things include outdoor adventures on a leash, Benebones, and investigating whether her foster mom’s belongings were secretly purchased for her. They were not. Management regrets the misunderstanding. She’ll need plenty of appropriate chew toys, supervision, and someone willing to help her learn what belongs in the puppy toy department.She’s already kennel trained! House training is still on her to-do list, along with keeping all four paws on the floor. Lillie enjoys an enthusiastic greeting, but she’s expected to be a large dog, so helping her learn polite manners now is important. A secure six-foot fence is recommended given her jumping ability and anticipated size, and apartment life may not be the best fit for her.Lillie also takes her self-appointed position as household announcement system seriously. Visitors may receive a barking welcome, and she needs time to warm up to unfamiliar people in her home. Her family should be ready to offer patient introductions and consistent training to help her feel more comfortable with guests. Her experience with children is unknown.One important part of Lillie’s routine is private dining. Although she enjoys other animals, she guards food in her kennel and will stiffen and snarl if dogs or cats approach while she’s eating. She needs to be fed separately, with other pets kept away from her kennel during meals, and a family committed to managing this consistently and working on her food guarding.Lillie brings the playfulness, the personality, and a whole collection of excellent nicknames. Her future family brings patience, structure, and a sense of humor while helping her grow into her very best self. If your idea of a good match includes a lively puppy, a walking buddy, and a reason to stop leaving your things within chewing distance, Lillie would like to submit her application! The suggested adoption fee for Lillie is $465. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption donation fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR will have been administered their age appropriate vaccines which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto and Bordetella. All dogs will also be adopted out as already altered if of age, for those not of age, a voucher will be provided. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. BNBR does not adopt on a first serve basis. All available dogs are adopted based on their needs to provide the best fit home.

Apparently, Jimothy readily agrees with his handsomeness and will occasionally bark at his own reflection alerting everyone to his good looks, lol! Jimmy is a world-class cuddle bug who falls asleep in positions that seem physically impossible. Need a winter warmer? His favorite place is right next to his humans, preferably touching them at all times. If you're looking for a dog who believes personal space is optional, Jimothy is your nuzzle guy!

Jimothy has a strong foundation in both potty and crate training and continues to make great progress. Like many dogs adjusting to a new home, he'll thrive with patience, routine, and positive reinforcement. If this easy happy guy sounds like a perfect match and you’re to snuggle up, please apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org!

Lucky is a calm handsome 39 pound boy who has his whole life in front of him and just needs a chance for his forever home to grow up in and he will be the amazing companion we know he was meant to be. He is adjusting well to his foster home and thanks to his wonderful foster family, he is finding his place and the joy again in life. Lucky enjoys playing with other dogs and really aims to please the pack leader (his foster mom). He's learning basic commands and is sleeping at night in a kennel. Although, he is coming out of his shell more each day his overall demeanor is more of a chill, low key guy that is a bit on the shy side. He is easy to please and just wants to be by his people and soak in the affection and attention. Lucky would love another resident dog in the family to help him build his confidence and a fenced in yard is required.

If you are looking for a calm dog, that is the perfect medium size, who adores his people and is just looking for his family/person to bond with, Lucky may be the perfect match for you! Please apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org

Joanie is a loving, submissive girl who tends to let others lead while she takes everything in. She’s learning quickly and doing so well! She walks nicely on a leash, listens well for her age, is learning her commands, and is inquisitive about everything around her. She is great with dogs, cats, and kids and has such a sweet, affectionate personality. She loves getting pets and belly rubs, cuddling with her people, and settling in for some quiet time at the end of the day. She sleeps nicely in her crate at night.

Joanie was surrendered to us from a commercial breeder (who breeds “designer hybrids”) when she and her littermates didn’t sell fast enough. She was lucky to get out of that cycle and is now learning just how fun life can be.

She’s doing well with potty training and will just need a family who is willing to continue helping her along with puppy training as she gets the hang of everything.

Joanie June Bug is spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, on preventatives, and ready to find her forever family!

Because Cochise has only lived in an outdoor kennel, he will need to learn how to live in a home. GPPR dogs are indoor dogs, so his foster family will need to be prepared to help him learn the routines and expectations of indoor living, including potty training. Patience will be especially important as he adjusts to a completely new environment.

We are looking for a foster home willing to give Cochise the time and patience he needs to make the transition from outdoor kennel life to living indoors.

Could you foster Cochise?
