My story

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

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

Sweet Senior alert!  Chalupa is a Senior rat terrier that was rescued from a shelter in Baton Rouge.  He is roughly about 11 years old and 20 pounds.  

Chalupa is a laid back soul that loves being in a home instead of a scary shelter.  He is set in his ways and does not want a busy home.  Chalupa needs a bit of time to adjust in a new home so owner experience would be best.  He needs to get to know you and trust you.  He is most happy in a little bed and if the weather is cold, a floor heater is his best friend!  Chalupa is not a highly active dog, he is more of a couch potato.  Chalupa appears to be housetrained and is always keen to go outside.  He will often go to the door to let you know he would like to go outside.He has a fully fenced yard in his foster home and loves to wander in it when we are outside.  He walks nicely on a leash too and is eager to go for walks.  Chalupa is fine with other dogs, he does not want to play or wrestle but will sleep with them and just hang out in the house.  For some reason the other dogs in his foster home always wants to play with him.  Sometimes he will, sometimes he won't.  When they get rowdy, he will bark at them.  Chalupa should be in a kid free home but if they come to visit, he will be fine if left alone or crated.  Chalupa is looking for a quiet retirement home to spend his golden years in.  He will be great as a companion for someone that would like a little buddy to hang out with, go on an occasional walk or car ride with.    

Chalupa is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  He has also been given a dental.  His adoption fee is $150

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.
