My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Pretty little Shia is available for adoption! Shia is a local girl who came to us when her owner had to move and couldn’t take her along. She is a Shih Tzu mix, about 8 years old, and weighs around 15 pounds. Shia has an adorable underbite, so be prepared to say "Toothers!" to her often!

Shia is doing well in her foster home. She has made friends with the little Chihuahuas, and since she has always been around other dogs, this was no surprise. While she'd be happy to have another small friend in her new home, it’s not a requirement. Shia has lived in an apartment her whole life and is used to being walked to go potty, which she does nicely. Her foster home has a fully fenced yard that she enjoys, too.

Shia hasn’t quite mastered navigating stairs; she can go up just fine, but going down is challenging for her, and she tends to jump down, which can be a little scary. If you have stairs in your home, you may need to carry her down until she learns to navigate them better.

Shia is crate trained, but when she wants out, she will bark—a loud bark at that! She’ll also let you know if she thinks you’re slow in getting her breakfast or dinner; she loves her food and treats, especially cheese, which seems to be her favorite.

While Shia hasn’t been around kids in her foster home, we believe she would be fine with them. She is not aggressive at all, but she is past the days of playing with kids and would prefer to be a little lap dog queen, which we think is just fine. Shia does well in the car and enjoys going for rides.

Shia has been professionally groomed and will require regular grooming throughout her life. She does not appear to shed either.

Shia is now spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  She also had a dental to clean those toothers up and she is looking and feeling great!  Her adoption fee is $450

We are all volunteers with jobs and families and probably more dogs than you, so please understand that we are very busy. We are not able to keep up with the constant general questions and phone call requests that, with a little time and reading on your part, is already included on our website. Replying to all emails makes it very difficult to do our jobs as well as we would like.
All dogs who have adoptions PENDING, will have that info printed right next to their name. Having a pending adoption does not make it a done deal, it means that we are at the home visit/meet and greet phase of the adoption and it could go one way or another so feel free to check back on the status of the dog in question.
We do not have a facility for you to come and visit our dogs. They are in our homes, sleeping in our beds and lounging on our sofa. We value our privacy and do not open our homes to visitors wanting to meet "all the dogs".
Thank you for your interest in our wonderful Pixie Mamas pooches. Without you adopters we could not continue to do what we do. We appreciate your time and effort as well ,to comply with what is needed for us to keep Pixie Mamas Rescue going with as little stress and extra time as necessary.
Our adoption fees start at $200, some highly adoptable dogs are more and others are less - that will be stated in their profiles.
Good luck in finding the right dog for your family.

More about this rescue

Pixie Mamas Rescue (PMR) is a group of volunteer dog lovers whose mission is to rescue, provide sanctuary, and ultimately to re-home abandoned, stray and neglected dogs. We also assist dogs who, because of extenuating circumstances, are unable to remain in their homes. We aid in the rescue of small breed dogs. We are located in Western New York.
All PMR dogs are housed in foster homes where they are provided with an enormous amount of love and any medical attention that may be required to insure that they are in good health before adoption. They are all spayed or neutered and brought up-to-date on shots before being placed in their new homes.
All dogs are evaluated for temperament and personality. This helps us to place them in homes that are well suited to their needs and to the needs of their future owners.
