Hello,
I found NBS through Petfinder while looking to adopt another furbaby. They had the cutest bio written, with lots of info along with cute pictures of a little chihuahua mix named Paco. I called NBS to inquire about how to go about seeing Paco and their adoption policy. They have quite a bit that goes into their adoption process which consists of interviews, questionnaires and references whom they personally speak with each of the 3 required. One of my references joked are you adopting a child or a dog? because of the throughness of her interview and recommendation. I worked with Jaime and Casey and they were both wonderful and caring ladies who want only the best for the doggies, and they went out of their way to make this a successful adoption for all.
Paco came to visit with us and never left. He came with a folder with all medical care records and more, along with toys, grooming products, food and treats. NBS even sends us an email reminder each year of our "Gotcha Day"(adoption anniversary). We love this, and that they stay connected with us even after the adoption process is over. NBS also has a "Pawty"(party)each summer as a get together for all past adopters and adoptees and as a fundraiser. It is so great to reconnect and to show pictures after pictures to all who cared for and first loved our Paco.
You won't go wrong working with everyone at NBS, they work tirelessly and truly want only the best for all involved and to have a successful adoption.
NBS is the best Rescue Group I’ve ever heard of, they are truly dedicated to finding a the perfect forever home for the dogs in their care. Our dog got all the medical treatments, checkups, and was groomed before they brought him over to your house, just incredible! They are always there to give expert advise and love to hear how the dog is doing, even years after the adoption, their dedication is never ending. Thank you NBS team!
I adopted my dog Dozer from NBS about 3 years ago. NBS was excellent in giving me all the info about Dozer in a binder, including things like his vaccines and microchip. He was in great need of skin care w a terrible skin fungal infection. NBS gave me the medication to continue his care. They were kind and caring about Dozer. His fur has totally come back. NBS rocks!
I don’t even know where to start with NBS. They are by far the best rescue I’ve ever been lucky enough to adopt from and volunteer for. Each and every one of the hearts that make up NBS are the kindest souls in the universe. I adopted one of their first rescues in 2012 and he’s had his journey of issues. But NBS doesn’t stop giving after adoption. They have been there for me and Mason on every occasion we needed them. They stop at nothing to make sure that every animal that comes through their organization is healthy and happy with a companion that’s just right. They take their time and are in it for all of the right reasons. They are the embodiment of what we’d all like to see in every animal rescue. There’s not enough time in the day for me to truly express my gratitude and love for everyone at NBS. But I’ll continue volunteering, recommending, reviewing and thanking them as much as I can. I can never repay NBS for bringing mason into my life and for all they’ve done. I’m telling you this rescue and the people who run it are the most incredible you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing. Do yourself and a dog a favor, adopt from NBS. Thank you guys forever!
Heere's Harley!!
He's our second rescue from NBS. NBS has done an absolutely GREAT job in every aspect of the adoption process.
I can't say enough of Aaron and NBS's caring and professionalism.
Thank you for allowing these kids into our lives.
By the way, Harley is the most friendly doggie I've ever seen. He wants to be friends with every body, dog, cat, rabbit and squirrel!
Still loves to sit up front in my truck
I wish you all the best!!
We adopted Gidget from NBS Animal Rescue in 2016 when she was 11 years old and an owner surrender. The entire adoption experience was awesome as this group is professional and work with the best interests of the animal and the adopter so it is the right fit for both. NBS does not shy away from taking in the seniors or dogs with special needs which is amazing. Gidget is now 14 and is the light of our life. She fit right in with our other two girls and we love having her in our home as part of our family.

NBS Animal Rescue is such a professional and caring rescue. I have been fostering dogs for NBS approximately a year when they posted a little girl, Gidget, who needed a foster while waiting for her furever home. I immediately wanted to foster Gidget and once she was in my home I knew she was not ever going to leave - huge foster fail! LOVE my Gidget!
I am honored to be associated with NBS by fostering and helping these pups gain confidence, learn to trust and find the best homes!
We have adopted two dogs from NBS and have had a wonderful experience each time. They truly get to know the dogs and work very hard to make sure that each dog goes to the best home. And the binder you get at adoption with the dog's whole history and medical records gets rave reviews at every vet office we go to!
NBS has been a wonderful group to work with... they seem to genuinely care about who they match their pets with... very professional and kind. I financially support them when I am able.
When we are ready to adopt a second pet I will turn to NBS Animal Rescue! Thank you for matching us with Phoebe!

If you are looking to adopt or foster a dog, please consider NBS. They are a great organization that really cares about dogs. We were lucky to come in contact with them back in 2015. JoJo and us couldn't be happier to have found it each other. Thanks NBS!

We adopted JoJo in 2015 from NBS after they rescued her from the streets. NBS is a great organization dedicated to helping dogs and I will continue to support them. Thanks for the amazing work you do!
We have adopted 3 dogs from NBS over the last 5 years. All three were well cared for by NBS. Our vet even said the documentation that NBS provided was the best they’ve seen. They even provide a starter pack of food, toys and supplies for the dogs. We highly recommend them!
Life got a whole lot better for us after we adopted our little Maltese. Angel is the light of my life. NBS animal rescue made the perfect choice of dog for us. We have had her 4 years and everyday she brings us joy. Thank you NBS animal rescue.
NBS Rescue was wonderful to work with. They were at a pet store with some rescue dogs that they were finding homes for When we seen our Junior. We knew we had to have him! We filled out an application for him because they don’t just give their dogs to just anybody. They came over and made sure our home was the perfect place for Junior. We were so lucky they chose us for him. Junior needed surgery on his legs and they were willing to pay for it and they payed for his therapy after the surgery. We are so in love with Junior and we thank the NBS Rescue so much for all that they do to help animals and then find their forever homes. They truly are wonderful people and a wonderful rescue.
My Little Max (a Maltese) came from NBS shelter. He is my first dog. I was so very impressed with their thoroughness. I applied for him on line & the process was easy & smooth. These folks gave Max to me fully vetted, had all his shots and a binder with all his information. He is a sweet boy and a true joy in my life. A big thanks to all who cared for him! I would recommend this organization to anyone who is thinking of adopting.
Thank you NBS Animal Rescue volunteers. Their foster homes did such a good job of getting these two ready for adoption. Aaron brought Annie and Sammy to our home almost four years ago for a visit and they have been with us ever since as an important part of our family. They had always been together and it was so wonderful that NBS worked to keep them together. They each have beds but choose to be almost always together, usually touching. They came with an information binder which was so helpful. We were given a starter pack of their food, information on their chip, and shot records. Five stars are not enough. Thank you !
NBS is absolutely awesome. It's a very thorough process in order to adopt, that's actually wonderful. That assures that the dog is going to go to a safe and good home. My wife and I adopted Willow Puff aka Cocoa Puff 2 years ago in September. Aaron personally brought her to us in Roscommon.(that's about a 4hr drive each way!) He was very personable and we still text him updates on Willow. They go above and beyond for these animals and that is truly amazing. We had 5 other dogs (our babies) when we adopted Willow. We think they thought we were hoarders. So Aaron brought her up for the home inspection he saw how well we took care of our babies. Willow fit in right away and walked in the house like she was always a part of our family. We would recommend NBS for anyone interested in adopting a dog (or cat). They truly make sure it's a good fit. We can't say enough about the staff there. They are all so helpful and take such good care of the animals in foster and preparing them for adoption. God bless them for saving these helpless babies and finding them loving homes. Willow Puff is a very busy jack russel Chihuahua mix. She has 5 sisters and loves to play, cuddle, steal their toys and go for rides in the car. NBS you are awesome! Keep doing the awesome job that you are doing. Thank you for what you do. Rhonda and Cat
We've added a photo. Willow drags her bed to the door wall and will look outside for hours. The sister on the left is Zoey, her Pomeranian sister and buddy. She really is a joy!!!
I met NBS rescue via another rescue I was volunteering for. They were doing community outreach and building dog houses. I have never picked up an electrical drill before. Very exciting. Just the entire event was exciting. Watching families, kids, teens everyone working together to put these dog houses together. Began following on FB and watching all the cool things they do. They work very hard and I know my small yearly donation is put to great use and directly to the animas. Wish I had more to give.
NBS is an amazing organization! I adopted my dog Russell from them and they paid for his FHO surgery and to have his other leg amputated after the humane society found him as a stray and didn’t have to funds to help him. Without their generosity I would not have been able to afford the upfront costs of the surgery. Now Russell is so happy and healthy. He has blossomed and at 2 years old has a lot of life ahead of him. He enjoys camping, kayaking, and hanging out with all his dog and human friends. Compared to other rescues I tried to adopt through, I found NBS to be reliable, up front and honest, and thorough without being too outlandish on adopters applications. They save a lot of great animals like Russell.
Hello, unfortunately we don't know where to begin. We didn't even know that NBS even existed until in about July of 2014 our adult daughter Katie recommended that we get another dog since our previous dog Sandy left us in July 2013. My wife Cheri began to search the internet until she found the cutest little dog named Lizzy on the NBS site. She was perfect since we were looking for a small dog that we could pick up if necessary without too much trouble. We fell in love instantly. We then began to find out what a great and loving nonprofit NBS is. They took care of everything including cleaning her up and getting rid of the flea infestation that she had (she rescued from the streets of Saginaw Mich), giving her all of her shots, neutering her and having badly needed surgery performed on her for Luxating Patellas (thanks to Dr. Wilson at Streling Hts Vet Hosp.) all for $250! We were even interviewed and had a trial visit from Aaron and Lizzy before they placed her eventually in our home. We loved Aaron and you could tell that Lizzy had grown attached to him as well. We have loved our little girl ever since. We thoroughly recommend NBS to anyone looking to give a pet a home. Its the right thing to do. Thank you.
We feel so lucky to have come in contact with NBS a couple years ago. We rescued our little Pickles from them and are so grateful they brought us to him. NBS is a wonderful organization that loves their animals. Thank you!
NBS is a top-notch rescue. Not only do they provide incredible resources for their adopters but they put the best interest of the dogs first. The individuals who run the organization are amazing humans who are tirelessly finding safe and happy homes for our 4-legged companions.
NBS helped us give our pug a sister after our 16 year old pug passed away. Joy was so well cared for at her foster homes. After we submitted our application, Jamie brought her over to visit and Joy just fit right in. We so appreciated the thoroughness, helpfulness, compassion and care NBS took to ensure Joy was a perfect fit for us, and us for her.
We are Ron and Kim Hogan . We had the opportunity to meet Aaron and Rebecca through our Son and Daughter in law who were foster parents for NBS . Our dogs name was Sweet Pea and we called him Pea. Pea was the BEST ! He was lucky to be alive NBS has the video and his story of recovery which is s miracle. He was deaf and was taught sign language he couldn’t bark or jump , But we loved that little guy . We only got to have him for couple of years before he went to heaven . That was the hardest thing to go through. NBS does such great work for the animals and the communities that they work with . They are top notch and we tell everyone about them and what great things they do as well as all of the people involved to keep it running like clock work . So proud we got to know them.
Just a wonderful experience. They vetted us thoroughly so we knew they were really checking the boxes and the foster mom was absolutely awesome. We have since fostered for them and will continue to do so. They truly care.

I rescued my little scruffy boy Cavemen nearly two years ago to the date and he has been such a pleasure and light in my life and everyone’s lives who meet him.
We rescued our little Lisa from NBS a double years back. She had been abandoned with many litter mates and was in rough shape. NBS foster family nurtured her back to health. They were super in checking out our home and compatibility with our Shi zui. We are so impressed with the entire organization. They really care for their rescues.

NBS took care of "Lisa" our little white poodle/? before we adopted her. Their vetting process to place her was thorough, fair, and driven by trying to find the best possible placement for each pet. This is one fantastic, caring organization!!!
We’ve had our little Claire Bear for a year and she’s the love ❤️ & laughter in the House. She makes us laugh every day and has made a big place in our hearts for her. Thank you for bringing her into our lives.
We adopted Kiwi from NBS last October. I met her at an adoption event at local pet supply store, and I could tell that she would be the perfect fit for our home. The application process was quick and simple, and a week after I met Kiwi, i was able to give her a fur-ever home!
We adopted our husky-mix from NBS about 6 years ago. They are the most wonderful rescue I’ve ever dealt with, and they go out of their way to save animals that others would choose to ignore. These people are amazing - I’m lucky to have found our pup through them. We love NBS Animal Rescue!
Such an amazing rescue! They go above and beyond for all of their 4 legged critters. We adopted our Elsie from them 2 years ago and we couldn’t be more grateful for them. It’s great to know that there are still good people in the world.

I love nbs and their fosters! They are the most dedicated and hands on rescue I have ever come across and I work at an animal clinic. We adopted our Elsie from them back in September and are so thankful for this group! Elsie has brought so much joy into our lives after losing a pet. They really do go above and beyond for every little animal they rescue. It's amazing!
I consider myself to be very lucky to be a part of such an amazing rescue family. As a co-founder, board member, volunteer, foster and adopter...I know all about NBS from the beginning to now and continue to be impressed daily by the work done and the whole of the volunteers who give so selflessly of their time and energy to the mission of NBS. To say the people of NBS are top notch would almost be doing them a disservice. I think they are the best!!
NBS Animal Rescue is awesomeI. I adopted my sweet BrunoMars from there. They did a reference check and home check to make sure I was a good fit. They love the animals and It shows. They have a reunion each year for the adopted pups. They maintain a family atmosphere and love updates. I highly recommend NBS.
Working with the people at NBS has been great. They are wonderful and caring people who want to be sure the perfect rescue dog go with the right owner. Over a period of a 2-3 years, we ended up with two of their rescues. These are the most incredible family members I could ever imagine. These two dogs want nothing more than to be loved and to give love. We owe so much of our own happiness now to the care and work of NBS. Bailey and Cole have bonded and are inseparable. They go everywhere with us.

Bailey came to us during a time of transition in the family. The people at NBS did a wonderful job of seeing the match between the personality of the dog along with the dog's need to the style and ability of the family. We are really deeply appreciative of their effort. The spent time talking to us first, spent time watching the dog interact with us and then followed through with more monitoring to be sure we had not encountered any problems. Bailey very quickly became a full member of the family and often seems to take charge because of her love. Thank you, NBS! We hope to get another wonderful dog from them in the near future. Duncan
I cannot begin to tell you how great this organization is. They really care about their animals. They are very professional and make sure that the correct pet goes to the right home. When I adopted my dog she not only was microchiped, spayed and very well groomed. He provided a leash and collar in two weeks of food. They also presented me with spayed and very well groomed. He provided a leash and collar in two weeks of food. They also presented me with a Binder with all informative information including vet records. I would highly recommend adopting from NBS animal rescue.
We adopted our dog Charlie 5 years ago from NBS. The adoption process was very thourough and friendly. Their main goal is finding a dog his forever home, they still invite us to their yearly picnic, are very interested in updates and are always ready to help and give advise.
Thank you NBS Animal Rescue, we love our doggie

NBS is a great organization. The dog that I wanted to adopt, had had already found a new home by the time my application had been approved. But within a few days, they sent me a picture of another dog, and shortly after, NBS brought this dog, Charlie, a superfriendly Cavalier King Charles, to our home and Charlie has been making our lives better ever since. They were also most helpful with giving real useful advise on house training in the weeks after the adoption. I also like it a lot that they keep in touch and do followups continously. Clearly, their priority is to place the dogs in good home forever!
NBS Rescue is the BEST. Such a wonderful group of people. I have had Tilly since April 2015 and she has been amazing. Such a smart little Chihuahua, a little too smart, we have to talk in code around her and sometimes do charades, which she is picking up on as well.
Every year NBS has a reunion party so the pup-parents can bring their furbabies back for a visit with their previous foster parents.
It's just wonderful, you cannot go wrong with choosing a new member of your family from NBS Rescue.

After the passing of my best friend "Molly" I immediately needed to fill the void in my heart and the emptiness in our home. I applied with ANOTHER rescue (not NBS) for a Chihuahua, drove 1-1/2 hrs, met the dog and was then told she came as a bonded pair and all the issues that came with both of them. I only have room for one other dog not 2. I was not impressed with the way this 1st rescue didn't give me any of the "issues" before I drove so far and to then try and push a 2nd Chihuahua on to me. I left pretty disgusted. I was still grieving from the loss of Molly I didn't have the time to invest in 2 dogs that would rather hide in a corner and die than to be held.
So I go back to my saved searches and Elsa and Tilly were the next 2 I was interested in meeting. I filled out the application and added an additional background of myself and home. I think it was the next day they started calling my Vet and references. I liked that. They weren't going to waste their time and they weren't into wasting my time. I ended up applying for Tilly (only because my mother comes over and takes care of my dogs while I'm at work and she was uncomfortable with trying to work with a hearing impaired dog).
During the week I borrowed my friend's dog to help us in our grieving. Aaron and I set up the home visit appointment and a few days later he came out with Tilly. The meet and greet went smooth. "Suzy" got along great with Tilly. Aaron went over the notebook chocked full of info (Yes! There is a detailed notebook!) and he felt comfortable to leave Tilly with us. I signed up for the trial period just in case Tilly was not happy here I wasn't going to force her to stay forever.
After a few days I emailed NBS and told them a trial period wasn't necessary, I'm keeping her! My other dog Suzy never cared for Molly, basically just tolerated her. Suzy, who is 12, never played or anything but LOVES to play with Tilly! Tilly has pretty much renewed Suzy's youth. They chase each other around the house and are respectful of each others boundries, they actually lay curled up next to each other on the back of the couch waiting to sing to the mailman when he walks across the grass.
NBS was a fantastic rescue to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in adopting a new family member. There is No Bull Sh*%. They tell you upfront if the dog has any special needs or issues so you are well aware before any time is wasted. Suzy has a few more good years in her but when it's her time NBS will be the first rescue I go to when I have an empty spot in my heart and bed needing to be filled. Tilly would need another partner in crime... can't have Thelma without Louise.
Thank you again NBS Rescue you exceeded my expectations!
