Nestled in the heart of Buffalo, Pixie Mamas Rescue, founded by the compassionate Barb Backhaus, is more than just a refuge for dogs—it’s a sanctuary of hope, healing, and fresh starts. For over two decades, Pixie Mamas has been a vital part of the local rescue community, tirelessly giving dogs a well-deserved second chance at life.
We would also like to correct an error from our August issue where we spotlighted Lisa Jane as the one who established Pixie Mamas. The founder of Pixie Mamas Rescue is Barb Backhaus.
Barb's passion has turned Pixie Mamas Rescue from a small initiative into a powerful force for good. What began with the adoption of one dog has grown into a mission that rescues over 500 dogs every year. With dedicated volunteers and unwavering community support, Pixie Mamas has expanded its reach beyond Buffalo, partnering with rescues in Texas and other southern states while also focusing on local dogs from shelters, owner surrenders, and breeder surrenders.
What sets Pixie Mamas apart is its commitment to transparency and community involvement. The adoption process is thorough, ensuring every dog finds the perfect forever home. Prospective adopters undergo home visits and reference checks while the rescue stays active on social media, engaging followers with updates, events, and fundraising efforts.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of Pixie Mamas’ daily operations, handling everything from fostering dogs to organizing community events. Pixie Mamas hosts various activities designed to raise funds and increase awareness, bringing the community together in meaningful ways.
Pixie Mamas Rescue is especially dedicated to dogs with medical needs and senior dogs, often taking in those requiring intensive care. Their commitment to these dogs reflects the rescue’s unwavering dedication to every animal they save.
