Rigby arrived at NCCR on 8/15/26, transferred from an overwhelmed shelter to give him another chance at finding his happily ever after. He is an approximately 4-year-old neutered male, believed to be a mix of small breed terrier and Border Collie. He is a handsome little guy who is delightfully scruffy! Rigby weighs just 23 Ibs. and is full-grown, small but leggy! He has tested well with dogs and cats, and although he is a little shy with people at first, he is very good-natured and well behaved. If you are looking for a pint sized trail dog or an active companion to be your copilot for any adventure, you won’t want to miss out on this cool pup! Rigby would love to snuggle with you on the couch too!
*Approved applicants are welcome to participate in our popular Slumber Party program and take a dog home for up to 2 weeks to make sure he/she is a great fit.
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Rigby is sponsored by Dan and Amy Courtine in memory of Xander and Holly, Chelsea Barber, Steve and Diana Lucas in memory of Zeus. Thank you everyone!
