Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue (NNKCR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was originally formed in 2010 by a handful of volunteers who wanted to provide a foster-based no-kill option for all dogs regardless of breed. We utilize a network of foster homes who volunteer their time. To date, Nebraska No Kill has rehomed more than 800 dogs, with a success rate of 97 percent on adoptions.
We are inspired and affirmed on a daily basis by the support received from the Lincoln community, where most of our fosters and adopters reside. Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue strives to collaborate with other local rescues and has developed a strong relationship with the Capital Humane Society and other shelters across the state, often working together on hard-to-place dogs. Our rescue group is striving for the day when every dog has a safe and loving home.
It’s pretty simple. The more fosters and funding we have, the more dogs we can save! Those two factors are the keys to our whole operation. Our network is growing, but the influx of dogs in need of a foster home continues. Fostering is a great way to help a dog along in his or her life’s journey with no long-term commitments and little or no financial obligation. Foster dogs are fully vetted prior to placement, and medical expenses are paid for by Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue until an adopter is found. Consider opening your home and your heart to a foster dog, and we’ll work hard to find a great match!

For the first time ever, Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue placed in the Top 60 out of more than 400 charities on Give to Lincoln Day’s nonprofit leaderboard! Our supporters collectively contributed $35,551 and that record total will increase after our proportional match is added by the Lincoln Community Foundation. We’re so humbled that so many believe in our mission and the work we are doing. We appreciate all who donated and shared our social media posts. Our hearts are truly grateful.
Did you ever imagine that you can save space in our landfills and save canine lives in the process? Well, you sure CAN! And what could be better?? Here’s how it works…
Sadoff Iron & Metal Company is partnering with Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue on a Cans for Canines program called “You Can Save Canines.”
Bring your empty aluminum cans and bring them to us at Pet Wants, 5200 South 48th Street, Suite 2 and help us fill the stock trailer full of cans (drop off times will vary, but we’ll announce days and times on Facebook). We’ll redeem them and use the funds to help pay for veterinary care and training for the dogs we have that might need medical or behavioral rehabilitation.
If you can’t make it to one of our drop off days, Sadoff is also willing to directly accept your aluminum cans or any scrap metals that qualify. So drop off your donations at Sadoff between 7:30 am and 4 pm Monday-Friday (note they do close 12-12:30 pm for lunch) and PLEASE make sure to tell them you want the money donated to our Cans for Canines program! It’s that easy!! Sadoff Iron & Metal Company is located in Air Park just east of NW 48th Street off Cuming Street. The address is 4400 W. Webster Street, Lincoln, NE.

So save those cans and help us save even more canines!!!
Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers at 28th & Cornhusker Highway sold the most plush puppies in Lincoln over the holidays, so the staff from that location was chosen to present a check to our rescue with the proceeds from all the Lincoln stores. Paisley, one of our senior dogs, is also pictured, but she looks distracted by the smell of fried chicken.
We'd like to thank all the donors, shoppers and volunteers at Cause for Paws Lincoln for their generosity. Gifts like this impact the lives of dogs that need our help in finding new homes. We are so grateful and hope you'll all continue to support Sue's store.
Special thanks to the more than 100 people who attended our fundraisers the last two Saturdays and especially to Zeng Countertops & Surfaces for their $2,500 donation to help the dogs needing our care in finding furever homes. Owner Tim Zeng and his whole staff were amazing, so we hope our fans will follow them and spread the word. They are also hiring, so go visit Henry, the golden retriever, and the friendly, dog-loving people at Zeng and tell them Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue sent you!
Check out Paisley, our sweet senior girl that is battling lymphoma with weekly chemotherapy! (But honestly, we’re not even sure she realizes it.)What she does know…Dr. Alyse and her staff sit on the floor and feed me yummy canned food while I’m connected to these tubes. And I sure have been feeling better since I started my visits to this cool place.Thank you to Synergy Animal Care and Paisley’s wonderful foster mom, Katy!

These puppies are needing foster care so that their likes and dislikes can be assessed as well as their temperament. All fosters get first chance at adoption.
