Meet Pixie!
Timid Paws, Trusting Heart 💕🐾
Pixie, the cutest little JRT X Chihuahua came into our care recently as a stray. She is two years old.
Understandably Pixie was very timid when she first arrived at the kennels, but after a little time decompressing she started to approach us for treats and for fuss. We quickly discovered that Pixie was far more confident with people if they were sitting down. The moment anyone settles on the sofa, she’s there in a flash ready to curl up for a cuddle.
The kennels were a frightening place for a little, nervous dog, so one of our wonderful kennel volunteers offered to foster her while she is looking for her forever home. She has a little Chihuahua herself and the two of them have become the best of friends – tearing around during playtime and trotting along happily side by side on their walks. It is so lovely to see that Pixie is now getting a taste of what family life could feel like – now we just need to find her one of her own.
We are looking for a peaceful home for Pixie where she can finally feel safe – somewhere where she’ll be the centre of attention, with plenty of room on the sofa reserved just for her. She’d suit a quiet adult only household, but we would consider a home with older children who’ll understand and respect her gentle, timid nature. She’d be perfectly content as an only dog, but she can also potentially live with another similar sized, calm dog.
Do you have a Pixie sized space on your sofa; in return you’ll be rewarded with a devoted companion who asks for nothing more than a quiet life, a soft cushion, and someone to love.

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
