Nikenos Second Chances was created as a response to an unfulfilled need for professional assistance during the adoption process

NSC is an all volunteer foster based 501 (c)(3) non profit organization founded in 2006.

While many people are willing to adopt rescue animals, many times the combination of untrained dogs and untrained owners leads to returned or unwanted pets. By giving the dogs structured training before, during, and after home placement, their chance of success more than quadruples.

Our founder, Gina Krehbiel, has over thirty years in the animal behavioral business. She owns and operates Clearwater Dog Training located in Lakewood CO. Gina's facility promotes education for the owners and their pets to find a harmonious way of living together. By helping people learn how to be better pet parents. With this background, NSC was destiny in the making.

After the passing of her beloved German Shepherd, Keno, who brought so much inspration in helping those who met him that a 100 pound dog can be kind, gentle and well behaved. Gina felt it was time to act and Nikenos Second Chances was created in honor of Keno.
