My story

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

Meet Brownie, a handsome 11-month-old purebred Chocolate Lab who is as sweet and high-energy as his name suggests! Weighing in at a sturdy 73 lbs, this big, playful boy is looking for a forever home where he can truly thrive. Brownie is incredibly friendly and gets along with other dogs. Because he still has  plenty of puppy enthusiasm, he may be a bit too bouncy for small children and is still figuring out how he feels about cats.

Brownie’s  original owner had to enter assisted living, and his current situation isn't a permanent fit. As a result, he deals with some separation anxiety and is looking for a patient family who is home often to help him feel secure. He is   high-energy and needs a yard to run in and an active partner for long walks and games of fetch. Brownie will need at least one member of the family that will be able to work with him on leash training as he is a strong, young dog.    NNKCR will work with the adopter to provide basic training and to address behavioural issues.

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.
