We love Nickel City Canine Rescue, we have had such a great experience. We have fallen in love with our Rescue dog Foxy. We had a great experience with her former foster Roseann and Shannon who did our home visit for pre approval. We will highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a dog. We cant say enough about how happy we were with our experience!

My fiancé and I did the foster to adopt program and adopted our two amazing dogs. This rescue has been so great to volunteer with and their board members go above and beyond for the dogs and the volunteers. Would highly recommend adopting and volunteering with Nickel City.

Nickel City Canine rescue provides an invaluable service allowing and helping Flights to furrever (a charity animal adoption transport group) to bring wanted dogs (and cats) from Uvaldi TX to families and rescues in the Buffalo area. Thank you for helping us all out.

After applying to adopt everywhere in WNY, NCCR was the only rescue to respond to me. If you are looking to adopt in the near future, get pre approved! Volunteers were in contact with me every step of the way while they reviewed my application and when Colleen completed my home visit, she went over every detail about their process once I was approved! they have an outstanding board and team of volunteers who are devoted to clear and timely responses!

I adopted a pitbull/lab mix back in 2021 & have been volunteering ever since. I continue to be in awe with how many dogs they save MONTHLY!! There is such a wide variety of ages & breeds that need to be rescued, and NCCR helps them ALL!! 🩵🩵

We adopted our dog Frank from here and the work they do to save these dogs is absolutely amazing

Nickel City Canine Rescue is a great organization and extremely supportive!! I’ve been a foster with them for almost 2 years now and have adopted out 23 dogs. Majority have had some “pitt” mixed in and they have ALL become loving, loyal family members.Nickel City is always honest about the possible breed mix, as the majority of our dogs are mutts.

We have been looking to adopt a dog for a short while now, and in dealing with several rescues in the area, so far nickel city sends to be the best. They provide good information for available dogs, and have the most meet and greet events (which in our minds are essential before possibly adopting a dog)

Review 10 (2023-09-02 - Rating: 5)
One of the best rescue organizations in Buffalo. Very organized, smoothly ran, and the dogs are always in good hands. There are so many different breeds of dogs they get from down south and locally. They do a fantastic job educating and training fosters and adopters and the community. They are advocates for pit bulls (amazing breed of dogs and often misunderstood and get bad raps)and anyone spreading hate and false information regarding this organization and the breeds they rescue/support need to get their facts straight instead of bashing a wonderful hardworking nonprofit supporting dogs.

The adoption process with Nickle City Canine Rescue was smooth and easy. We had a great experience working with them and adopted the most amazing pup! Hands down would use them again.

Got me an amazing dog, very smooth experience, they genuinely care for the animals and make sure theyre going to good homes. Cant recommend enough

I really applaud Nickel City Canine Rescue. I had been searching for several months for a dachshund to rescue for a companion to my dachshund and I saw that I would probably have to obtain one from out of state, and then I saw a posting for Sandy! OMG. And less that 25 miles away! What a gift she is to our family. Working with Nickel City was wonderful, their staff is kind and understanding and know exactly what is needed for every rescue. These future pets are placed in great foster homes to be cared for until they find their forever home. Bravo Nickel City!! We couldnt be happier with our dear Sandy!

We are so impressed by this rescue and their dedication to provide animals a second chance, and families the opportunity to love! We have adopted Dazzle, a mixed breed from a Texas, the day before Thanksgiving. Her foster mommy, Jessica was so helpful in answering any and all questions we had, and assured us just how wonderful she really is...and that was not an exaggeration! Dazzle, or Cortana now, has been a dream and we can’t thank Nickel City Canine Rescue enough!! We received her just days after she had been spayed and they worked with us so she could recover properly. They also gave us the opportunity to complete her vaccinations through their agency as well. Through their alumni page, I have been able to speak to her foster mom in Texas who provided me with some background info, and puppy pictures. I love this organization so much and I recommend them to all of my friends! Thank you for completing our family NCCR!! 🐾

Nickel City Canine was the best ! So helpful finding me a pup , not 1 but 2 . I recommend them to everyone. These are my pups

Review 17 (2023-11-25 - Rating: 5)
They really take the time to make sure you and your pet will be compatible. Pro tip: Fill out the application and get pre-qualified before looking at whats available, it will speed the process and they are VERY thorough.

Review 18 (2019-08-26 - Rating: 5)
NCCR provided an easy, fast, and comfortable adopting process. We could not be more thrilled with our new family member, Murphy, and are so grateful for her foster and the other volunteers who helped make our adoption possible. If youre looking for a reliable rescue in Buffalo, I highly recommend checking out NCCR. They were quick to respond to our application and worked with us every step of the way when weve had another rescues not even bother to call us back. We couldnt recommend them enough!

I know some of the people who volunteer and work at this rescue. They are incredibly passionate, professional and responsible to whom they give animals. Its sad that people who were rejected for valid reasons, decide to throw a tantrum and have their friendsdog-pile on an organization that does so much good. Its ridiculous. If your cats are so STRESSED OUT, THEN WHY ARE YOU ADDING ANOTHER ANIMAL (A DOG!!) TO THE MIX? You have rescued 7 unvaccinated cats... You have these poor animals a home when others might not have... Good for you...Nickel City Canine has rescued and placed dozens if not 100s of as animal in need. Youre both on the same side here.Move on. Concentrate on your cats and stop this hurtful behavior.

My family recently adopted Tank and couldnt be happier with our new furever friend. Hes exactly what we hoped for. Jennifer is a great foster & made the process super easy. Were so happy we decided to adopt from this rescue. They really care about the animals.

Love is what keeps this place going! Its great to help in any other way you can, too.

Our puppy TUCKER is the love of our life. He makes our day every day for fun laughter and playing catch. We thank our neighbor Kathy who was fostering tucker. If not for her we wouldnt of known about Nickel City Canine Rescue or TUCKER. The girl that did final paperwork was very helpful knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking to adopt a pet. THANKS again NICKEL CITY .

We had a wonderful experience with Nickel City Canine Rescue! Everything went smoothly and on schedule with adopting our little bundle of joy! We couldnt be happier all the way around!! We love our new puppy!!!

18 month old Charlie became part of part of our family only 3 weeks ago & it seems like he’s been with us much longer, a perfect match.We can’t thank Nickel City Canine Rescue for their help in making sure Charley has a lifetime home! Thank you especially to Beth & Kelsey.

Review 25 (2019-07-17 - Rating: 5)
Nickel City Canine rescue was the ideal place for adopting my first rescue. From the start they were always in touch, through email, their volunteers, FB messenger, you name it. From the first application, to the home visit, deciding to foster to adopt, the transport , and to ultimately adopting. Their workers kept me in the know every step of the way. I could tell they were the place for me. I just officially welcomed my Khali into the house! NCCR was there the first few days with every question I could possibly think of. They really are knowledgeable & passionate about what they are doing. A major thank you to Nickel City Canine Rescue and all they’ve done, because thanks to them I found a furever friend.

Review 26 (2019-05-22 - Rating: 5)
Very responsive, professional, friendly and helpful through out the entire process. I love that they do a home visit and detail everything to expect. Its great that they do a 7 day foster to adopt option, just in case it isnt a right fit or you got in over your head. Great group and I love what theyre doing as a rescue!

Review 27 (2019-05-31 - Rating: 4)
I will update my review and say that the owner has reached out and been very helpful. There seemed to be a major disconnect in communication between everyone involved in the situation. We misunderstood their intent and they misunderstood our medical reasons behind the vaccinations. We have been able to come to a resolve and I am happy we were able to figure out where the mix up is.

Review 28 (2020-01-18 - Rating: 5)
I applied for a home visit and within three days was preapproved for 6 months of opportunity. Working with them exceeded my expectations and even as an experienced dog owner, I feel like I learned vital pet owner information. I will continue to adopt from them.

1st time adopting & it was all i could of asked for. Very professional rescue team, informative w/all questions needed answered & tips you probably didn’t know. Great & awesome owner who you deal w/ hand in hand throughout the process. Choosing was that much easier working with NCCR.All that were involved, thank you!!I was lucky enough to link w/Sammy(Jackson now) He’s been a delight & is warming up as if he was already apart of our family. He’s growing on us tremendously every day. Thanks again NCCR!

I just adopted Ares! He is the sweetest little “Chiweenie” ever. We love him already❣️ Everyone at Nickle City rescue was amazing. Thank you for bringing so much joy to our family in one little fur baby!!! JoAnn Steenberg

Review 31 (2019-05-31 - Rating: 5)
People who claim to be adults are hurting this rescue because they refuse to understand the laws. Not having your animals vaccinated is irresponsible and against the law. The rescue did the correct thing. The childish ways these people are acting is very sad. If anything, that should encourage more people to support this rescue. They are making sure that animals are entering the nest environment possible. Thats responsible behavior!

Review 32 (2019-12-11 - Rating: 5)
Such a great rescue, one that truly cares about its dogs and their adopters. We adopted our Willie (formerly Zane) and it was such and easy and pleasant adoption. Highly recommend!! A++++++++++ all the way

My family and I first fostered a dog from NCCR and recently adopted our second from them. Everyone has been great to deal with and given the opportunity I would definitely work with them again.

Our experience with the NCCR has been AMAZING!! We saw a puppy while we were at a soccer game and asked the owner where he was from. He told us NCCR and we had never heard of them before. I looked them up online when I got home and filled out the application. We were contacted by one of the volunteers who checked our references, called our vet, and did a home visit - all in about a week! We were approved and started our search that night. We saw Barbara (now Higgins) online and sent a message that we were approved and interested in meeting her and to our surprise, we got a call the next morning! She needed to wait to meet us for at least 10 days as she was just brought in on the last transport, but when she got to our home, she melted our hearts!! She is by far the BEST dog we have ever met. Her tail never stops wagging!! She loves our children so much and we say constantly that we cannot believe she is ours. NCCR made the process so easy and seamless - I would recommend them to EVERYONE!

Adopting Mindy has been a very pleasant experience. From the beginning Troy and Emily were very honest and willing to help with all our questions.Mindy was a bit timid at first but is getting adjusted to her new home and doing very well! Carol and Barry were also very helpful getting my application filled out and approved,they truly have the rescue dogs best interest at heart.Lastly the day of adoption was an experience, even with an ice storm the staff came through! Thank you from Donna and myself & Brent and Bradley

That someone is petty enough to get their friends to start a smear campaign because they have 7 cats that are not vaccinated for rabies is pathetic! I know how hard these volunteers work and all the time they put in outside of their regular job. Great work NCCR!
