“Pixie makes animal adoption and rescue a fun, family friendly, and positive experience. With a quick application finding the right dog or cat for you is as effortless as giving them a name,” said Peter Anderson. [Third-party quote] Deciding to adopt is a big decision, an application helps to minimize the risk of these animals returning to the shelter.

According to American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. The Pixie Project is focused on quality over quantity. That means finding the perfect owner for each animal, to keep the number of animals returning to a shelter low.

“My husband and I love Pixie Project. They helped us adopt our first furry family member, a Great Dane-mix named Banksy. He's the best dog in the world, or at least we think so. We are celebrating his adoptiversary soon and it made me think back on the adoption process. Everyone at Pixie was friendly and professional during the process,” said Marissa Siegel [Third-party quote]

About Yale Union:

Founded by artists, Yale Union is a center for contemporary art in Southeast Portland, Oregon. It is led by a desire to support artists, propose new modes of production, and stimulate the ongoing public discourse around art.

We are a small organization in a large building. At this point in our development stage, it would be disingenuous to say that our building, a handsome brick block, isn't as much an albatross as it is an instrument. While still in renovation Yale Union will demonstrate that contemporary art center does not need to be architecturally complete to foster culture. [Partners Boilerplate]
