What do you think of when you think of animal rescue? A sad Sarah McLachlan song?

The Pixie Project's staff thinks the soundtrack to animal rescue should be Kool & The Gang's "Celebration".
A word that sums up their unique approach.

Amy Sacks & Karli Covington, the founders of The Pixie Project are committed to changing the image of a "rescue" or shelter animal. While some animals come to the Pixie Project seeking medical or behavioral attention not accessible in a typical shelter, many Pixie Project "kids" are professionally trained, family friendly pets whose circumstances have left them in need of a new home.

With a fully stocked non-profit pet supply store and a knowledgeable and supportive staff trained in the art of "pet matchmaking" adopting a pet through the Pixie Project feels more like a personalized dating service than your mom's blind date set up.

The Pixie Project also serves a unique support function working tirelessly to connect pet owners with the resources they need to keep their pets with them. No situation is too big or too hard.
"Nothing is impossible'" is their motto.

With over 1000 successful adoptions, an inexhaustible staff armed with expert animal knowledge, a whole lot of humor and an ever-changing cast of fantastic animals, The Pixie Project gives animal rescue a fresh and flirty facelife.

Now that's something to CELEBRATE!

OUR FACILITY
We are located at 510 N.E. MLK Blvd, directly across from the southern end of the Oregon convention center, in a spacious  renovated building with adjacent parking. While our adoptable dogs are playing in daycare or enjoying a walk on the waterfront with one of our many dedicated volunteers, our cats are playing and lounging in their sun filled, communal cattery which is open to the public during all operating hours. All of the animals in the Pixie Project adoption program are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped and temperament tested to assure that they are good candidates for adoption.

WHO IS PIXIE?
This is a picture of Pixie, a terrier mix who was rescued from a hoarder who had over 100 animals tied up across his property. Many of the animals lived without shelter and with minimal food for years before they were finally rescued. Pixie now lives happily with her adoptive parents in NW Portland.
Her story of finding love and security after years of suffering is the inspiration for The Pixie Project.
