My story

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

Jack Russell Terrier-Chihuahua mix

Neutered Male

13 years, 18 pounds

Mason’s life took a wicked turn at 13 years of age, but things are looking up for him because of our amazing volunteers. You’ve heard the story before… a pet owner passes away without a plan, and, when family members can’t take the pet, he or she ends up in an animal shelter. However, in this case, that turned out to be a blessing, because he was later transferred to our organization and moved into one of our best foster homes. So now we’re seeking an adopter for Mason!

He’s listed as a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 18 lbs. His housetraining is solid as long as he’s kept on a consistent schedule. Mason loves to play with toys and he does not act his age, but he might do better with teenagers than young kids. He likes small dogs and does not seem to mind cats. Larger dogs might cause him to bark.

Mason can be nervous in new settings with strangers, so he’d love a low-traffic home where people are around and he’s not forced to travel much. He likes a routine and would prefer to spend his golden years napping and eating.

Health: Mason takes medication to help his gall bladder function better, but he does fine on stairs and doesn’t seem to have any significant hearing or sight deficiencies.

Our adoption fee is $200 for senior dogs and our life-time support option is included. 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.
