Pixie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

I Name: Pixie Age: 7 Years old Sex: Female Breed: Lurcher Description: Pixie is a lovely friendly girl, she's great with people, can be choosy with other dogs. She needs a strong, confident owner to teach her some doggy manners. She has a lovely temperament, and as much as she loves to play, she also loves to climb on your lap for cuddles. Pixie is used to having someone around most of the day, although can be left for a couple of hours. We think Pixie would settle into the right home as an only dog, providing she receives the stimulation she needs to meet her energy levels. We are looking for someone/a family who would be willing to put some time into her training and enforcing the right rules and boundaries so she can reach her potential and be the cracking dog we know she can be. If you are interested in giving Pixie a home, please fill in the Adoption Form at the bottom of the page Pixie is looking for an active home and where she won't be left for long. A full secure garden with a fence height of at least 6ft is required as she has the tendency to jump if left to her own devices. No cats or small furry animals and older children if any is required.

About Pixie

What life with Pixie looks like

Pixie is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pixie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pixie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pixie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pixie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Pixie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pixie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pixie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
