Buffalo Bills' Khalil Shakir Helps Rescue 19 Dogs From Euthanasia

September 5, 2025

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir is using his platform to make a difference off the field in a big way. This week, he teamed up with Nickel City Canine Rescue to help save 19 dogs from euthanasia — and he didn’t do it alone.

Shakir showed up with his mom and two best friends, ready to help however he could. This came just one day after he supported one of the rescue’s largest and most successful adoption events.

Nickel City Canine Rescue, an all-breed, volunteer-run organization, shared their gratitude in a heartfelt post: “We truly don’t know what we’d do without the Shakir family. Thank you, Khalil, for being a voice for the voiceless and a hero to these pups.”

Because of his commitment and compassion, 19 dogs who were once at risk now have a second chance at life.

@nickelcitycaninerescue Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir helped us save 19 dogs from euthanasia today 🐾💙❤️ Not only did he show up, but he brought his mom and two best friends to help too. After putting on one of the biggest & most successful adoption events yesterday, Khalil didn’t skip a beat and jumped right back in today to keep saving lives!! We truly don’t know what we’d do without the Shakir family. Thank you, Khalil, for being a voice for the voiceless and a hero to these pups. #rescue #khalilshakir #buffalobills #buffalo #dogs ♬ A-O-K - Tai Verdes
