Dogs for Adoption in Lancaster County, NE: 23 Dogs Looking for a Home

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!

Barnabas is a sweet, happy-go-lucky little guy with a gentle personality and a heart full of love. He gets along wonderfully with the other dogs and cats in his foster home and enjoys spending cuddle time with people just as much. Whether he's exploring the yard, soaking up the sunshine, or hanging out with his family, Barnabas is simply happy to be included.

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? ❤️

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.

Raven is food motivated and might just jump on you to eat what you have. She will need a home that will work on her training and be able to handle her energy level. We do not know how she is with cats but will probably want to play with them. She does have sharp puppy teeth she might nick you when playing.

Younger kiddos aren’t on her guest list, so she’d preferably have a home without little ones. A girl this small is allowed to have a few big opinions!She’ll also need secure fencing with no little escape routes—wrought iron bars, small holes, and loose spots can all become Chihuahua-sized doorways! Her yard needs to keep her adventures safely contained.Willow arrived with a little extra cushion, so she’s looking for someone to join her on her “less pudge, more pep” journey. Regular walks and a nutritious diet with sensible portions will help her reach a healthy weight and feel her best. She’ll bring the charm; you bring the leash and measuring scoop!

She walks great on a leash, too—your tiny walking buddy is ready for her next outing! When it comes to children, she prefers the middle-school-and-up crowd, so a home without younger kiddos would be her preference. Small girl, selective guest list!Maple will need secure fencing because her petite size makes ordinary gaps look like open invitations. Wrought iron bars, small holes, and loose spots can become exits for a determined little explorer, so her yard needs to keep her adventures safely on the right side of the fence.She also arrived carrying a little extra sweetness around the middle and is working toward a healthy weight. She’s looking for someone committed to regular walks and a nutritious diet with sensible portions to help her feel her best. With those lovely leash manners, she’s already doing her part—she just needs a partner for her “more strolls, fewer snacks” era! The suggested adoption fee for Maple is $585.

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!

Of course, don’t mistake that love of cuddles for a lack of puppy shenanigans. Ozzy is still a baby, after all, and we’re sure there are plenty of goofy antics, curious explorations, and entertaining little adventures ahead!Ozzy came into rescue with his brother, Ollie, and he’s already off to a great start.

He’s got a lot to learn, but with patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of encouragement, we’re excited to watch this little guy continue to grow and thrive.And when all that learning and exploring is done? We have a feeling Ozzy will be more than happy to clock out for the day and curl up beside his favorite human. Because while he’s absolutely here for the puppy adventures, he’s also very much here for the cuddles.Ozzy is brand-new to rescue, so we’re still getting to know all the little quirks, funny habits, and sweet details that make him uniquely Ozzy. We’ll keep updating his bio as his personality unfolds, but so far, we know he’s a tiny sweetheart who’s off to a wonderful start.If your arms have been feeling a little too empty, your couch could use a permanent snuggle companion, and your heart has room for a whole lot of puppy love, Ozzy would like to be considered for the position.The job comes with tiny paws, unlimited sweetness, and a strong likelihood that your personal space will soon become a thing of the past.

Ollie came into rescue with his brother, Ozzy, but he’s already showing us that he’s a clever little guy with a personality all his own. Exhibit A? He’s already doing great with potty training! Somebody give this kid a gold star (and maybe a cookie, because we’re pretty sure he’d appreciate that).He’s also working on crate training and all those other important puppy life skills. He’s just getting started, but we’re expecting big things from this bright little dude. With consistency, patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of opportunities to burn off that puppy energy, we think Ollie is going to keep impressing us!Ollie is still brand-new to rescue, so we’re getting to know all the little quirks, goofy habits, and lovable details that make him Ollie. We’ll keep updating his bio as his brilliant little personality unfolds, but one thing is already clear: this boy is off to a fantastic start!If you’re ready for puppy antics, treat-powered training sessions, and a whole lot of love in a small package, Ollie might just be your guy.

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.

He is a people dog who is comfortable around kids, loves his humans and enjoys being part of the action. Once he bonds to you, he will be affectionate, fun-loving, and has plenty of personality to keep you smiling.
Meatball has been making great progress in foster care! He is potty-trained and he has been making wonderful strides with other dogs. Meatball can sometimes come on just a tad strong when meeting new dogs. He's learning to read social cues, practice appropriate introductions, and give other dogs a little breathing room. We're so proud of the progress he's making! Meatball would do best with a laid-back, non-dominant dog who doesn't feel the need to challenge him.
Meatball's ready for adventure! Walks, games of fetch, playtime, and keeping busy are right up his alley. Like most Heelers, he's a smart, active boy who enjoys having something to do. But he's also happy to wind down and relax with his people when the day's adventures are over.
He's got a little Heeler humor! Vacuums, noisy appliances, and other household items may occasionally attract his attention. After all, someone has to keep an eye on those suspicious household objects!
Meatball is a fun, affectionate, entertaining companion who has so much love to give. He's already made great strides in foster care, and we know his perfect family is out there.
His first family loved him enough to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go when circumstances changed. Now it's our turn to help him find a family who will love him for a lifetime.
Could Meatball be your missing piece? We sure hope someone gives this sweet boy the chance he's been waiting for!
Meatball's adoption fee is $350, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age- appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped. Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply.
Like all Australian Cattle Dogs, GSDs, and other herding breeds that we have in rescue, Meatlball will need training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization, in order to be a well-balanced, well-behaved dog. This sweet boy would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that he needs. Because of that, Rascal's ideal owner will have prior Australian Cattle Dog, GSD, or other similar breed experience. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills and manners.

To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $200 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.
