My story

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

Kijani

Plott hound mix

Spayed female

5 years old, 60 pounds

 

Kijani’s gorgeous coat and infectious grin give you an exterior glimpse of what lies within this sweetie. Her owner has given her years of love and good care, but knows her spirited nature now calls for a home with someone who can keep pace.

 

Daily leash walks have halted due to the owner’s mobility, but Kijani still enjoys ample yard time each day and handles being left alone up to five hours during the school year. In a new home, she’d welcome resuming regular outings to satisfy those hound-dog instincts.

 

Bright and eager to learn, Kijani knows “sit,” “stay,” and “shake,” and she’ll even fetch slippers on command. She’s house-trained and crate-accustomed (though she now roams freely indoors).

 

Kijani does startle with loud noises like vacuums or lawn mowers—so a few precautions before beginning noisy chores sure help. She does best on a salmon-based food to keep her digestion on track.

 

She’s a regular playmate at doggie daycare and adores her owner’s 14 grandchildren. Her reaction to cats isn’t known, so intros should be handled appropriately. Microchipped for extra security, she’s ready to explore new worlds with the right applicant. And we do allow people to foster her prior to adoption to ensure the perfect fit.

 

Application to foster or adopt available at nebraskanokill.org

Suggested adoption donation: $300.00

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.
