Teddy's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Teddy – 1 Year Old, 10 lbs, Havanese Mix Teddy is a oneâ€‘yearâ€‘old, tenâ€‘pound Havanese mix who came to us from a local shelter after being surrendered for slipping out the front door multiple times! Now that he’s safe in foster care, he’s blossoming into a happy, affectionate little dog who is ready to start fresh with a family who will love him the way he deserves. Teddy can be a bit shy when he first meets new people, but it doesn’t take long at all for his sweet personality to shine through. Once he feels comfortable, he becomes a warm, loving companion who enjoys being close to his people and soaking up attention. He has a surprisingly big bark for such a small dog, and while it may startle you at first, it’s simply his way of expressing excitement or alerting you to something new - he is a good little watchdog! Teddy loves toys and playtime. He’s also very foodâ€‘motivated and absolutely adores watching his foster mom cook—especially when she remembers to pay the “cheese tax.” Teddy enjoys his daily walks and loves spending time outside. A fenced yard would be wonderful for him, as he likes to explore, sniff around, and “help” with gardening. He is crate trained and quiet, and he is doing very well with housetraining. With his young age and the changes he has been through, he may not be perfect just yet, but he is very close. He has been recently groomed and will need regular grooming to keep him comfortable and looking his best. Teddy can be nervous around certain animals. Large dogs overwhelm him, and he will bark or growl out of fear. He is more comfortable with small dogs, though he may do the same when he has special items like toys or chews. He also tends to bark at cats, so a home without feline friends would be best. Although Teddy was previously labeled “not good with children,” we learned that the children in his former home chased him during an escape, which understandably frightened him. To help him feel safe, we recommend a home with children aged fourteen and older who can respect his space and move gently around him. If you have kids who visit, simply crate him and everyone will be happier. Teddy will thrive in a quieter, calmer home where he can settle in at his own pace. Ideally, adult only with no other pets. Teddy is looking for someone who will give him a little time to adjust and who will appreciate his gentle, sensitive nature. He didn’t receive the care he needed early in life, but he is more than ready to make up for lost time. Once he knows he is safe, Teddy becomes a devoted little shadow who follows his people with love and trust. He is a bright, charming, and affectionate young dog who is ready to bring joy, companionship, and warmth to the right home. Teddy is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $550 to help with our high medical needs dogs 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.
