Bills WR Khalil Shakir Helps Save 19 Dogs from Euthanasia in Emotional Video

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir had a memorable Labor Day weekend when he helped save 19 dogs from being euthanized.

Nickel City Canine Rescue posted a video showing Shakir, along with his friends and family, helping to fund the transportation of dogs to a shelter where they will be able to find their forever homes.

In a post on their official Facebook page, Nickel City Canine Rescue noted the dogs will be placed with fosters for the time being while they work to update their bios and information for adoption.

Shakir was very busy with animals over the long holiday weekend. He also hosted an adoption event with Sweet Buffalo on Saturday.

Nickel City Canine Rescue will have a hold up to 10 days on all the dogs as the fosters get to know them.

Given how reliable Bills Mafia is at supporting various charitable causes for players, even those on opposing teams, it seems unlikely the dogs will have to wait long before finding a permanent home after Shakir saved them.

Shakir, a fifth-round pick in the 2022 draft, has been a tremendous success story for the Bills. He led the team with 821 receiving yards last season and earned a four-year, $53.1 million contract extension in the offseason.
