NEBCR, Inc. is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization. We depend on our volunteers and generous donors to help as many dogs as possible. Here are some ways you can help:

Fostering

Volunteering in Other Ways

Wish List (things we need)

Donations


NEBCR's Wish List

You can help us in a number of ways: by volunteering, by donating to our Rescue Fund, and by donating an item or items on our Wish List. We specify some items by brand only because these are found to work best for us. For example, Midwest folding crates are easily passed around from person to person where there is need, can be transported folded, and work well in both a house or a vehicle, where they can easily folded out of the way when not in use.

Most of the items we wish for are small, but you will also see some really big items here. You may think "Well, that's unrealistic!" Perhaps it is, but what good is a wish list if you cannot include everything you wish for and need? (And if you have an "in" at the North Pole, please pass our list on to you-know-who.)

And thank you! We appreciate your help.

NEBCR, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and all donations made to NEBCR are tax-deductible.

NEBCR, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and all donations made to NEBCR are tax-deductible.

Although we charge an adoption fee, this is never enough to cover our expenses. Ordinary vet costs (vaccinations, spay or neutering, heartworm test and preventative) often exceed that amount, and we never recoup our day-to-day expenses for housing and feeding rescue dogs. When a dog comes into rescue that needs special care or surgery, these costs can sometimes become hundreds or thousands of dollars. Occasionally, we run out of room in foster care and need to board a dog for a few days or longer. This can add up as well. We need your help to be able to continue to provide the care needed for ALL our rescue dogs. Giving a donation to our organization will go towards helping to pay for our ordinary expenses, but will also help us with our extraordinary expenses.

SUPPORTING AN INDIVIDUAL DOG:
If you prefer to give a donation for a specific dog, we welcome your generosity as well. All our dogs need help in one form or another, even if it is just food and care, but sometimes people like to put a face on the dog they are helping. You may sponsor a dog that needs boarding, help to pay for a dog's special needs, or just help us feed and care for a particular dog. Please read the biographies of our dogs and if you can find it in your heart to help one of them, please let us know which dog you wish to support. Your donation will then be earmarked specifically for that dog.
