My story

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

Phoebe
Age: ~5 months
Weight: 24 lbs
Gender: Female (Spay date: 3/28)
Breed: Boxer mix

Meet Phoebe, the happiest, wiggliest puppy you’ll ever meet! This sweet girl doesn’t just wag her tail—she wags her entire body when she sees you! She’s a social butterfly who loves people and other dogs, greeting everyone with boundless enthusiasm. Her soft, floppy ears and big, bright eyes make her impossible to resist.

Phoebe is smart and food-motivated, which makes training a breeze! She’s doing great with potty training—she goes as soon as she’s outside and can hold it overnight in her crate for up to eight hours. While she may whine for a minute or two at bedtime, she quickly settles in and sleeps soundly. She already knows “sit” and is eager to keep learning with a patient and loving family.

This playful pup would thrive in a home with another active dog who enjoys wrestling and chasing games. She’s also confident enough to be an only dog, as long as she gets plenty of playtime and attention. Phoebe is currently living with two cats and, while not aggressive, she thinks they’d make great playmates. She would do best in a home without cats or with dog-savvy ones who can teach her some boundaries. She also shares her foster home with a 4-year-old child and does well, though she’s still learning not to jump when she’s excited.

At the end of the day, after all her puppy energy is spent, Phoebe is a total cuddle bug. If she’s had an active day, she’ll happily curl up on the couch under a blanket with her humans. She loves stuffed animals, Benebones, Kongs, and chasing the flirt pole in the backyard. She’s working on her leash manners—right now, she’s a little eager to sniff everything but is making great progress!

If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and fun-loving pup to be your adventure buddy (and snuggle companion), Phoebe might just be the perfect match! Could she be the missing piece to your family?

If you are interested in Phoebe, 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

Go meet their pets

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.
