Dena's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/><br/>Dena the Queen‑a: From Barn Life to Best Life<br/><br/>Dena is a 3.5 year‑old Mini Goldendoodle, weighing in at a perfect 30 pounds of gentle sweetness. She’s not just any doodle — she’s the proud mama of The Ten, her adorable squad of little doods who keep their foster home buzzing with chaos, cuddles, and comedy. Dena’s story didn’t start the way any dog deserves. She spent her early years living in a barn used for breeding, with no real chance of being a loved family member. When we picked her up, we had a feeling she might be pregnant — and sure enough, she was.<br/><br/>But that chapter is closed now.<br/>Her new life has already begun.<br/><br/>Blossoming in Foster Care<br/><br/>Dena has adjusted quickly to home life, and now that her mama duties are nearly done, she’s blooming even more. She adores other dogs and truly thrives with a canine companion — having another dog gives her comfort, confidence, and joy. She has always lived with other dogs and we would love for her to continue this. She’s also perfectly fine with cats.<br/><br/>She loves being outside and takes her watchdog role very seriously... even the birds get a warning announcement from Queen Dena. She isn’t leash trained yet, so a fully fenced yard (no invisible fences) is required for her safety.<br/><br/>What She’s Learning<br/><br/>Housetraining: Coming along nicely. She used potty pads during pregnancy and nursing, so please expect a little adjustment time.<br/>Crate trained: Yes!<br/>Smart & food‑motivated: Treats are the way to her heart.<br/>Grooming: Professionally groomed a couple of times — a bit nervous, but she did well.<br/>Mill dog traits: She still shows a few, but she’s so close to leaving that past behind.<br/><br/>Ready for Her Real Life<br/><br/>Dena is gentle, sweet, observant, and incredibly resilient. She’s almost there — almost fully confident, almost fully healed, almost fully ready to step into the life she always deserved. With patience, love, and another friendly dog by her side, her past will fade into a distant memory.<br/><br/>Her next chapter is going to be beautiful.<br/><br/>Dena is now spayed, up to date on core vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $475<br/><br/>We require that a martingale collar be used at the time of adoption. If you do not have a martingale collar, you can purchase one from Pixie Mamas for an additional $10. This requirement is in place to ensure the dog's safety and security.

Pixie Mamas Rescue's Adoption Policy
Pixie Mamas Rescue does not have a shelter or kennel facility. All dogs live in foster homes - they are part of our families! We have no time limit on how long the dogs stay in foster care - as long as it takes to find a home that suits them. Our foster homes work with the animal on basic manners, crate- and house-training, and correcting any behavioral issues that an animal may have. We require an adoption application, a veterinary reference (if applicable), and a home visit. Unfortunately, we are unable to adopt out of state (including Canada) or over 1.5 hours away from Buffalo, NY. Any travel IN our adoption area is at the discretion of the foster home. We do not ship dogs. You must be willing to come to the Buffalo NY area to complete the adoption after the home visit. The decision to place a dog in a home rests with the Foster home and Pixie Mamas Board. We only have the best interests of the animal at heart and we know best that animal's needs and temperament. Pixie Mamas Rescue reserves the right to approve or deny your application without explanation. Applications are kept on file for 1 year. You do not need to reapply within that year unless your information has changed. Please read the list below of general requirements and information for all adopting families. If you do not meet one of the requirements, please do not submit an Adoption Application. Applicants must be 25 or older Applications must be filled out completely. References are a must! Animals will not be adopted to any college students. Animals may not be adopted as a "gift" for someone unless all family members are aware of the adoption and meet the animal before the adoption takes place Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.. If renting, verbal approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises All applicants must be willing to receive a home inspection and meet and greet prior to adoption (all family members and their pets must be present) If you have a current pet, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together We do not adopt small dogs to homes with an electric fence. In addition, an electric fence is not acceptable for dogs that require a fenced in yard. Adoption Fees are Non Negotiable and Non Refundable If you adopt from Pixie Mamas Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Pixie Mamas Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt the dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations. We cannot respond to everyone personally. Please follow us on Facebook for updates. We cannot "hold" a dog for you. If you are considering adopting a dog but are going on vacation in the near future, please WAIT until you return to adopt. We do not Foster to Adopt or have trial adoptions We require a non-refundable adoption donation. Our fees start at $350 for adult dogs. "Highly Adoptables" (puppies/purebreds ,etc.) may be more. We sometimes reduce the fee for senior and special-needs dogs for the right adopters and some of our dogs receive sponsorships to help them get adopted. All the animals are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, wormed, flea-treated, and microchipped.
