My story

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

Opal
Chihuahua
Spayed female
9 years old, 8 lbs.

Opal is a senior chihuahua that tips the scales at 8.5 lbs and would
do best in a quiet home (no small children) where she is the only pet.
She might be compatible with another dog or cat as long as Opal is not
obligated to be friends. She is approximately 9 years old, has been
described as having an “old soul” and is somewhat set in her ways.
Opal is up to date on all her shots, has a microchip and is house
trained. She considers her crate to be her safe place. She knows a few
basic commands and prefers women, but will open up to men who "speak"
chihuahua. Opal does like to play, once she feels safe. She
occasionally gets the “spinners” when she is excited. She is a bit
sensitive around her head and neck, so she needs a fenced yard
(privacy preferred) because putting a collar or harness on her can be
quite stressful for all involved. Opal is not on any medications nor
does she have any conditions requiring special foods.

If you love when a big attitude comes in a little package, Opal is
worth a look!!

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.
