My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Josie is prepared to give you a run for your money, so buckle up because this pup has already hit a few bumps in the road.

Thankfully, she found a trainer who understands resource guarding and this trainer is having some success with Josie. She likes other dogs, but we’re still recommending her as an only pet, preferably with no small children.

Josie is funny, playful, outgoing and knows several commands. She loves to run laps in the yard, is reliable with her house training, walks well on a leash and willingly sleeps in her kennel every night.

At 30 lbs. and just 9 months old, she’s almost fully grown. We’re calling her a shepherd mix, but the shelter that originally placed Josie and the rest of her litter tells us that her DNA showed a large percentage of Great Pyrenees.

We’re seeking an experienced dog owner or someone willing to work with a trainer in Lincoln to make sure that Josie’s future is as bright as her recent past

Suggested adoption donation: $300. Adoption form available at nebraskanokill.org

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All prospective adopters contact the group via our website and are required to fill out an adoption form. Volunteers check references and do a home visit. A "meet and greet" is arranged if other family members or pets are involved.
Adoption fees are generally $250.00 for dogs 6 months to 7 years; $150.00 for dogs over 7 years. If a puppy is adopted, the adoption fee is $450.00, but $200 of that is refunded once we have documentation that the animal has been altered. All adult dogs are altered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and tested for heartworm. If the adoption does not work out, NNCKR requires that the dog be returned to us.

Go meet their pets

We take advantage of local events sponsored by businesses such as PetSmart, PetCo, Subaru, Verizon and Tractor Supply Company, as well as local fund raisers put on by rescue groups. We are also happy to arrange meet and greets with people who would like to see a dog they saw on our website or at an adoption event.

More about this rescue

Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue (NNKCR) was formed by five people who had a dream that one day all adoptable dogs in Lancaster County would find loving homes.

To accomplish this, we do three things:
Rescue dogs
Rehabilitate dogs
Re-home dogs

NNKCR is a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit dog rescue group. We provide emergency foster care for homeless dogs, veterinary care for dogs in our care and find forever homes for homeless dogs. NNKCR is an all-volunteer organization, and 100% of all funds donated go toward our rescue efforts and the dogs in our care.
