2nd update: As it turned out Tucson Cold Wet Noses pulled Pixie and two greyhound adopters Lori Riegel and Lizzie Mead are going to co-foster her or as was told to me, tag team foster care. Also Ms. Riegel said Pixie is just the best “furry greyhound” ever. This sounds like a happy ending for this dog. We can never have too many happy endings.

Update: In the Arms of Angels will pull Pixie – female greyhound-shepherd mix with a foster home. Please contact immediately!

If you are able to help as a foster (for Arms of Angels Adoption), would like to consider her for adoption, or know of a friend, neighbor or coworker who might be interested, please, as soon as possible, contact:

Pixie is such a sweet girl and her wound is horrible, it looks like it is right down to the bone. This needs attention asap before it gets infected, in the event it isn’t already. She is a very gentle soul, you can for sure tell that there is greyhound in her. She didn’t want to cooperate with the camera, so the pic does not reflect how pretty she is.

Foster Home needed contact AZ Greyhound Rescue to complete the foster application!

Message from Pixie: I would love to go home with you via “Special Needs Adoption” (SNA). I would go home with you today and you would take on her medical care/behavioral training, depending on my needs. My adoption fee is $60 up front, with $45 refunded after her alter surgery. You are adopting this dog for the cost of a license only. To our knowledge, numerous vets in town will do a free office visit so you will only pay for any medical care. The shelter’s contact information is listed below. If you’re interested in adopting, please contact the shelter immediately.

Please contact PACC about doing a special needs adoption at: 520-243-5962, 243-5936, 243-5987, 243-5932, or 243-5962 rachel.molyneux@pima.gov If you can’t get through at any of the above phone numbers, call 520-243-5900 and ask to talk with somebody about doing a special needs adoption.

Another option is to foster this dog through a local rescue group. The term for this is generally to “pull” through/for a rescue. Please see here for more information about fostering:

(Blogger’s note: Greyhounds that go into adoption groups are spayed or neutered immediately.  Why so many greyhound mixes in our local community? How was poor Pixie wounded?)
