2025 Bad Experiences

Although Pixies and Paws markets itself as a rescue, records show that it has imported hundreds of puppies into New Jersey, many of which were sourced from high-volume breeders and brokers, including individuals and facilities flagged in government reports and national advocacy watchdog publications.

These animals are not strays or abandoned pets rescued from overcrowded shelters. Instead, they appear to be purpose-bred puppies, sourced in bulk and transported across state lines—then made available for “adoption” at fixed fees that closely resemble retail pet store pricing.

If you or someone you know has had a concerning experience with Pixies and Paws, we encourage you to share it with us. We cannot advocate for change without your voice and your story.

What Are Backyard Breeders?

Backyard breeders are individuals who breed animals—typically dogs or cats—without proper knowledge, standards, or oversight. Their operations are often informal, unregulated, and motivated by profit rather than the health or welfare of the animals.

The Impact on Communities

Higher stray and surrender rates
Greater burden on shelters and animal control
Increased complaints and public frustration
More animals at risk of euthanasia

How You Can Advocate in Your Community

Learn the Law
- Review your town’s current ordinances on animal breeding, kennel licensing, and pet sales.
Identify the Problem
- Are there known backyard breeders in your area? Are animals being sold online or in parking lots?
Build Local Support
- Connect with neighbors, rescue groups, veterinarians, and shelter staff.
- Share facts and explain the local impact.
Propose a Local Ordinance
- Consider model legislation that limits unlicensed breeding or requires breeder permits.
- Require spay/neuter policies and inspections for multiple litters.
Engage with Local Officials
- Attend town council meetings.
- Provide public comment.
- Request a formal review or introduce a proposed ordinance.
Report Concerns
- If you suspect illegal or unethical breeding, report it to local animal control or health departments.
