My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Miss Lola!

Lola is looking for a foster home or an adopter.

Lola is a super sweet girl who adores human affection- both adults and children! Lola loves being near her foster mom and dad and enjoys being a pet. Lola has a four-year-old (human) foster sister who loves her, and the love is mutual. She doesn't mind kids getting rowdy and she's so sweet and polite. Lola is very well house-trained and while she does not need to be crated, she does sleep in her crate at night. While Lola is a pretty good leash walker, she does tend to pull a little bit on her leash. We believe with a harness this can be easily corrected.

Miss Lola is diabetic. She is currently wearing a continuous glucose monitor that her foster scans every 8 hours for the vet to determine her optimal insulin dose. The glucose monitor is temporary but she will continue to take insulin twice a day. Lola has made the administration of insulin an easy part of her day for her foster. While Lola came to our care underweight, we are working on helping her get to a healthier weight.

When Lola was introduced to other dogs in her foster home she was generally indifferent to them. Lola is good at being crated with other dogs around and will respect baby gates. She has shown no barrier aggression and is not aggressive to the sight of other dogs. Still, we recommend she is a solo dog in her home due to resource guarding with food that can become aggressive. She should not be in a home with cats.

Lola is a loving dog and we know she deserves a happy life, will it be with you?

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.

Additional adoption info

The Adoption Process
- Fill out an application for your potential new family member
- One of our volunteers will review the submitted application and do their best to respond within 48 hours
- We will check personal and veterinary records (if applicable)
- After checking references, we will then look to schedule a home visit (for dogs only)
- If the animal is a good match, then a meet and greet will be setup – usually at the foster home or the Cambridge or Millbury PetSmart adoption centers
- We like to have all family members attend
- Finally, the last step if to complete the adoption paperwork and to bring your new family member home

Here are a few items for people to consider before deciding to adopt:

- Renters must have their landlord’s permission
- Adopters must be 21 years of age or older
- All adoptive homes must be stable, supportive, and capable to meet all veterinary and financial needs of the animal
- Some adoptions will require adopters to enroll the dog in training classes as a condition of adoption, however we encourage training for ALL adopted dogs.
- Kittens younger than 6 months must be adopted with another kitten/cat or go to a home with a resident cat for socialization
- There may be additional adoption requirements for puppies (puppy socialization classes, someone home during the day, etc)

Go meet their pets

All of our pets for adoption are in foster homes. You must fill out an adoption application before being considered for adoption. Once your application is received, the foster parent will contact you to discuss whether the animal would be a good fit for your home and set up a meet between your family and the pet.

We also house several cats in our adoption center at the Cambridge PetSmart. Stop by to play with them Monday-Friday from 5pm-8pm and all day Saturday and Sunday!

Mission Statement:

Broken Tail Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit foster-based rescue organization dedicated to the rescue of unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats in urgent need. We work closely with local animal controls, animal shelters and rescue groups to ensure the placement of these forgotten animals. We will not discriminate on basis of health, age, or breed and will only consider humane euthanasia in cases of aggression or for quality-of-life due to untreatable medical conditions.

Our animals are vet examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered as needed and receive any and all medical treatment necessary prior to being placed into carefully screened permanent homes.
