The Pixie Project is a non-profit animal adoption center and rescue. We offer a variety of services to the public including but not limited to: pet adoption services, pet owner education and support and low cost and free spay and neuter and veterinary services for homeless and low-income pet owners.  We are located directly across the street from the convention center at 510 NE MLK BLVD.

The Pixie Project ‘s adoptable animals come from a variety of places but the majority are from surrounding over-crowded county shelters and rescues located in more rural areas of Oregon.  As many of these areas are not served by a local shelter we provide an urban outlet where the animals can have maximum visibility and exposure to potential adopters.  Animals that come to our rescue also have access to veterinary and training support to meet any and all needs.

The Pixie Project focuses on finding life-long matches between pet and adopter and for that reason our adoption process is a bit more in depth than some other shelters. We appreciate the opportunity to sit down and talk with any person or family looking to adopt a new pet so we can best help them find an animal that suites their home and lifestyle.   We have a variety of animals of all ages, sizes and breeds and so if you are considering adding a pet to your home please come down and visit!

Our re-launch party was a huge success!  A big, boisterous thank you to everyone who was able to drop by the party and make the night one to remember!

Now that the Pixie Project is officially re-opened please feel free to come by, say “hello,” and give our cattery kitties some love.  It will be a bit longer before our dogs are available, as we are waiting on some finishing touches to our kennels (can’t have them live without their salon and jacuzzi!). We will update this website as soon as we start intaking dogs again, so keep checking back.  If you are interested in fostering or volunteering, please shoot us an email at info@pixieproject.org as we are getting back on track to organizing those programs.

Our new hours are:

Tuesday-Friday: 11 am- 6 pm

Saturday: 11 am – 4 pm

Sunday and Monday: CLOSED

The expansion remodel has finally arrived!  We are all very excited to transform our space and house more animals than ever before! 

We will be officially closed to start the transition starting Friday June 29.  Our estimated time of construction is two months and we are re-opening in September.  Please note that Pixie staff will continue to check emails and voicemails as usual during the summer and will continue to adopt out animals currently in our care. 

Everyone have a safe and wonderful summer. Thank you for all of your support!
