My story

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

Are you looking for a very chill husky? A super sweet husky? An incredibly beautiful husky? Our Maverick is the dog for you! Look at those eyes!! Maverick, a beautiful husky mix is seven years young. He came to us from CHS. He was surrendered because he was overweight and needed help. At one time he weighed 120 pounds. Now, with the correct diet and exercise, he is down to 83 pounds! His vet says he has 10 pounds to go. This boy has worked very hard in his weight loss program. Unfortunately, due to his past excessive weight and lack of exercise, his joints may never be the same. He will need someone willing to keep him on his healthy dog food diet and joint supplements for life. He will also need a family to keep him exercising daily. Like most of us, he wants to be a total couch potato! Maverick needs daily walks and a backyard to explore. No different than any other pup. As you can imagine, a home without steps or a few steps would be best. Our Mav is a joy to be around! He LOVES all people and furry friends! His happy smile and beautiful blue eyes say so much. We see the youthful dog that wants to run and play but his body needs to take it slow.

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.
