Precious is the pure definition of her name! She’s had a few bumps in the road that have made her a nervous girl but with time, patience, love and lots of treats she quickly warms up! She would do best in a home with another dog friend and older or dog savy kids, she is cat and bunny tested! She sleeps like a gem in a crate but would prefer to sleep with a human and does well going potty outside on a schedule. She’s learning that the leash and walks in the outside world are not so scary from the help of her dog friends, however when home and in the backyard she loves running around with the other dogs. Precious’s favorite activities are chewing bones, destroying toys and cuddling. She responds well to her name and sits beautifully! Precious will make a wonderful addition to a home but please remember the 3 rule with her, 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months. I have loved watching her personality come out as she gets more comfortable!
If you are interested in Precious, please apply at the adoption link in the comments below or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved.

Additional adoption info
Thank you for your interest in adopting through Nickel City Canine Rescue! Please visit our Website and complete the Adoption Application. Once received, we will begin processing it as quickly as possible. Our process includes checking your personal and veterinarian references, a home visit, and a meet and greet.
1. Fill out the online application.
2. Once received, a volunteer will be assigned to your app. They will first make the reference calls and contact your vet.
3. After calls have been completed, the volunteer will contact you to set up a home visit. Please keep in mind this is a VOLUNTEER doing this in their free time, it may not happen immediately.
4. Once the home visit is completed and if you are approved, you will receive a pre-approval card and can then express interest in a dog.
**General Disclaimer- Once a dog is posted online it is open to receive multiple applications. We do not limit the number of apps and cannot guarantee the dog will be available by the time your home visit has been completed. If there are already pre-approved adopters interested, their names will be placed on the dog’s list. This is why we highly recommend getting approved ahead of time. If it is a popular dog, it will likely have a list of names before your application can be processed.
Once pre-approved:
Email or Facebook message the rescue stating your name on the app, the dog(s) you are interested in, and best way to contact you.
Your name will be placed on the dogs list. This is a first come first serve basis. We accept up to 5 names on each dogs list. You are NOT guaranteed a meet and greet as there may be people ahead of you on the list!
The dogs foster will reach out to set up a meet and greet if they get to your name. You may not hear from the foster immediately if there are people ahead of you meeting the dog.
If you have a meet and greet and both adopter and Foster think it’s the right fit, the adoption may be finalized.
If a dog gets adopted by another adopter ahead of you on the list, the dog will be removed from the website and the available dogs folder on Facebook. We try to send emails to notify adopters, but this is not an automated system and with so many dogs and names this may get missed on occasion. Feel free to message or email for an update.If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at info@nickelcitycaninerescue.org
We do our best to respond to each email, inquiry, and application in a timely manner. Please be sure to monitor your email account and your phone to ensure we are able to contact you. Furthermore, please make sure your personal references, your veterinarian, and your landlord (if applicable) are aware that we will be calling to ensure no delays in processing your application.

More about this rescue
We are a fostered based rescue located in the Greater Buffalo, NY area. We pride ourselves on being an all-breed dog rescue. We are a 50l(c)(3) organization and 100% of the money we raise goes towards the rescue and rehabilitation of the dogs in our care. We are 100% volunteer based, with no paid members or ownership. Although we primarily focus on dog rescue we cannot turn down a cat in need.
Since the rescue started its operations in November of 2018, we have rescued over 175 dogs across six states: Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. We have no intention of slowing down. Our volunteers work tirelessly to save these dogs from the terrible fate of euthanasia due to overcrowding at shelters across the nation.
Nickel City Canine Rescue does not receive any funding from the county, city, state, or federal governments. Our rescue does not receive tax dollars of any kind . . . we’re only able to assist the people and pets in need thanks to donations from the community.
