NSC is a non-profit dog rescue that specializes in training and education throughout the re-homing process. Read more on our "About Us" page. Back to TopWhat makes NSC different from other rescue organizations? At NSC, we believe the key to successful placement is proper training. See integration training. Back to TopYes. Although our policy is not to euthanize animals unless necessary, in the event of suffering or like situation we would opt for putting the animal down. Back to TopWe currently share space with Clearwater Dog Training at the corner of Evans and Depew at 5555 W. Evans Ave, Denver, CO 80227. The entrance is towards the north end of the building. Our mailing address is NSC, PO Box 1505, Wheat Ridge, CO 80034. Back to TopIf I found a stray dog or cat, can I bring it to you? Please contact either Gina or Ginger for our current availability. While accepting the animal would be contingent on our space and dogs already in the program, we will not turn a dog or cat away if we can help it. Back to TopI need to put my pet up for adoption; can I bring it to you? Please contact Gina or Ginger if you are thinking about relinquishing your pet. Our most successful owner releases usually involved keeping the dog in your home as a foster while we work with them, however in some cases it might be in their best interests to be at the training facility. Back to TopThere are lots of ways you can help, check out our "Getting Involved" page. Back to TopIs my donation tax deductible? Yes, because NSC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Back to TopHow can I get my dog microchipped and how much does it cost? The most successful defense against losing your pet is microchipping. NSC provides low-cost microchipping for $40 per animal, which includes registration. Please contact Ginger@nikenossecondchances.com if you are interested in this service. Back to TopKeep an eye on our home page and our newsletters for upcoming events Back to TopYou can see pets up for adoption on our website or by using petfinders.com. If you are interested in meeting any of the dogs, you may make an appointment with Ginger at Gina@nikenossecondchances.com or by phone at 720-514-2543 . Back to TopHow much is the adoption fee and what is it used for? The adoption fee of our animals is $195 unless otherwise noted. This is to cover medical care, food and housing while we have the animal, as well as training. While this price may seem high in comparison to some shelters - it is actually less than the combined amount of adopting a dog and then paying for training. And since NSC dogs have already begun the training process, you're less likely to encounter expensive destructive behavior or problems that would cause you to return the animal. Back to TopWhere can I find an adoption or membership form? You find our adoption and membership forms on our "Links & Forms" page. Back to TopHow do I submit and adoption or membership form? Once you have downloaded and completed the form, you may either e-mail Ginger at Ginger@nikenossecondchances.com, mail it to NSC at PO Box 1505, Wheat Ridge, CO 80034 or hand deliver it to Gina at Clearwater Dog Training. Back to TopWill my pet be spayed or neutered and vaccinated before I adopt? Before being placed, all pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. They also come with four weeks of integration training. For puppies, the cost of adoption includes spay/neuter at 6 months of age at our approved veterinarian. Back to TopWhat is integration training and why is it required? Integration training is one-on-one training with you, your new pet and a trainer. At NSC, we believe the key to successful placement is proper training. This way the dog knows what is expected of him, and you know how to communicate effectively with your dog. Integration training is often followed up with group classes on an as needed basis. Do you do out-of-state adoptions? Each animal is handled on a case by case basis. Please contact NSC if you are interested in an animal. Back to Top |
