About Roy

Meet Roy, a charming Australian Shepherd who is four years old and weighs 14.5 pounds. This handsome boy might initially come off as shy, but give him a little time, and you'll discover what a sweet companion he can be. He quickly warms up and shows his true lovable nature once he feels secure in his environment. Roy currently lives with his brother, Jasper, so there's a good chance he gets along well with other dogs. Though Roy hasn't had a chance to meet many dogs beyond Jasper, his friendly demeanor suggests he could thrive in a multi-pet household. He would likely do best in a home with older children who can respect his space and allow him to acclimate at his own pace. And yes, be prepared for that lively Aussie energy! With a little patience, Roy promises to become a wonderful addition to your family. His adoption fee is $300, and if you're a McLean County resident, there’s an additional $15 fee for rabies registration if he’s over four months old. Ready to welcome a loyal friend into your life?
