My story

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

Thelma

Portuguese Water Dog

Spayed female

9 months old, 40 pounds

It’s not every day you see one of these in rescue. In actuality, this may be a first in our organization’s 15-year history…

Meet Thelma, a purebred Portuguese Water Dog!

Born April 4, 2024, Thelma is friendly, gentle and bonds well with humans, but she needs more individual time with people willing to train her. She enjoys playing with toys and other dogs. We’re not sure about cats or kids, but she has done well when exposed to children.

Thelma is spayed and weighs approximately 40 lbs. She is kennel trained, but still needs some help with her house training and Thelma piddles sometimes when excited. We hope this will improve with age and higher levels of confidence.

She walks well on leash and we want to find an adopter that will continue to exercise her appropriately. At nine months of age, Thelma has medium to high energy. She doesn’t shed, but her coat will require regular grooming.

Her adoption donation request is $300 and an application will be required.

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.
