  Fostering

  Many of the animals that we have rescued are in foster homes where amazing people are teaching them how to be good pets. There are some many animals to rescue that we are always in need of people who are willing to foster because human contact is an essential ingredient to making an amazing pet. If you are interested in fostering, please contact Cari Smith: 402-917-3070 or email at carimcsmith@yahoo.com.

• Donations

  Even though the care and fostering of our animals is voluntary, food, vet bills, and transportation are not cheap. The adoption donations that we receive are always appreciated, but there are always more animals that need vet care and food.

• Volunteering

  We also have several dogs in kennels and boarding facilities until a foster home opens up. The dogs need to be fed and walked, as well as getting some one-on-one social interaction, and the kennels need to be scrubbed down daily. We can also use the help of a few volunteers to help take care of these animals to the level we would want our own dogs to receive. 

• Off-site events 
  We are always looking for volunteers to help show dogs at one of our off-site events, even if it is just for an hour.

We have lots of wonderful animals available for adoption, but this is one of the special ones that we would like to bring to your attention.

Who we are and our mission

We are a small group of rescuers in the Omaha, NE area that do this in our spare time because of our love for the animals. We do not have a shelter, so many of our pets are in foster homes. We rescue animals from shelters, clinics, and private homes that are in danger of being euthanized. We do not concentrate on any one breed because we love them all. Nothing would make us as happy as sending one of our many animals to a wonderful home with a loving family to live out their lives in happiness.

No Pets Left Behind is a huge advocate of spaying and neutering your pets. Every hour in the U.S., it is estimated that more than 70,000 dogs and cats are born a day in the United States, compared to 10000 humans per day. Many of these animals will be euthanized. It is estimated that at least 61% of dogs and 75% of cats in shelters will be euthanized. The Humane Society of the United States estimates that 6 to 8 MILLION dogs and cats will be euthanized each year. Other organizations have estimates clear up to 15 million!!! So, by altering our pets, we will not only be contributing to their better health, we could be potentially saving millions of lives.  Being involved in rescue, we see alot of things that break our hearts. Pet overpopulation is one of the biggest problems that can be fixed. We can all make a difference. Many areas have organizations that offer low cost spay and neuter programs. For information please contact your local shelter, veterinarian or animal control center for information on how to get in contact with these organizations and take advantage of their programs. We can all do our part to control pet overpopulation by making sure our pets do not add to these statistics. The following is a great website for statistics on pet overpopulation: http://www.sniksnak.com/overpopulation.html

Tips for a happier, healthier pet

NPLB Adoptable Dogs

If you are interested in one of our wonderful animals, please contact the one of the people on our "Contact Us" page. All of us work full-time jobs, so it may take several hours for us to get back to you. It is usually best to email if you can - that way we can easily send you an application.
   
Our adoption process begins with an application. Once we have received and approved your application, we will contact you and set up a meeting for you and the animal you are interested in. We will then do a home visit. In most cases we will try to introduce you to the pet in your home. That way we can do the introduction, dog/cat introduction (if applicable), and the home visit at the same time. When you adopt a pet, you must sign a contract with us. This contract specifies basic requirements in regard to treatment of that pet. They are reasonable, common-sense requirements, which include not leaving your pet in a hot car, providing good food and fresh water, keeping veternarian care current, etc. It also requires that you return the pet to No Pets Left Behind if the adoption does not work out. This applies for the life of the pet. We do not want our pets to ever end up in a shelter again!

Our adoption fees vary and are based on how much money we have to spend for vet care for the particular animal. All of our pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, tested for heartworm, and micro-chipped. They are also given necessary preventatives and treatments. We do our best to give you a healthy pet at adoption time.
