My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Baby Ruth
Female
35lbs
~ 1 year old
Medium Energy
Dog-friendly
Loving, silly, affectionate



Baby Ruth is sweet as candy! This friendly little pocket pittie was found as a local stray, but easily adjusted to the home life. She is incredibly loving and joyful, and adores being around people. She spends her days playing tug, napping in goofy pretzel-like positions, and giving big kisses to her foster parents. Not to mention, indulging in her own sweet tooth (i.e. chowing down on peanut butter-filled Kongs).



Baby Ruth is house-trained and potty-trained(no accidents or mischievous antics for this girl), and sleeps peacefully in her crate after a little bit of fussing. 



Like many white dogs, Baby Ruth is deaf, but her foster parents can attest she’s a quick learner. She does well on a leash and already understands hand commands for “Yes”, “Touch”, and “Sit”.



Baby Ruth loves other dogs but is the equivalent of a middle school girl — like all of us as pre-teens, she can be socially awkward with her peers. She’d do well with a confident dog to help direct during playtime or an adoptive family to help perfect her doggy manners. Baby Ruth has got nap time covered, though! She currently lives with another dog, and they love splitting the couch for cuddles and a snooze.



If you’re still craving confections after your holiday feasts, consider a Baby Ruth. This pup would make a wonderful, affectionate companion to any family.



If you are interested in Baby Ruth, 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. If you are concerned because you haven’t been contacted in a timely manner, please do feel free to follow up with us, check in, & let us that you are still interested!


*Currently we only adopt out within a 1 hour drive from the Buffalo Niagara airport. We will considered processing applications outside that area if the family has no other dogs in the home and is willing to come to buffalo for the Meet and Greet. The rescue does not provide transport services to out of town adopters

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.
