Story
Meet Blitz! Blitz is a 6-year-old, 55 pound working dog. He's smart, food driven, and loves playing fetch. He sleeps through the night in his crate, is house trained, loves learning new tricks, and can be good with other dogs if they allow him to calmly greet them. Blitz would do best in an adult only home, with an owner who is active. He loves going on walks, runs, hikes and car rides. He can be wary of new people, and will need someone to continue to train him on confidence building. Blitz will walk in a heel when requested, he is a quick learner, super food motivated, and will LOVE his owners immensely. Update from foster Mom: With his people, he is the BEST dog, and he's good with dogs if they aren't pushy. He's a quick learner, a cuddle bug, and house-trained. He LOVES hiking with me in the woods, has an amazing recall, and loves playing fetch. I believe he would be the best dog on a farm, where he isn't forced to interact with strangers. I strongly believe that when he is off leash, he will choose to avoid strangers as opposed to confronting them. So why has this amazing already trained pup been with us so long? He doesn't do too well with strangers. We've gotten people interested, but seemingly they seem to ignore his "wary of new people" bit in his bio, and those who have applied want a friendly dog who is ok with meeting everyone. Are you someone who will allow Blitz to become comfortable with strangers slowly? Maybe an active outdoorsy introvert? Or okay with leaving your pup at home while you go out to be extroverted? Blitz is AMAZING. He just needs someone who understands he isn't too fond of people until he feels safe with them. This means not allowing others to approach him on walks and when out and about. No trips to Home Depot or TJ Maxx for this guy. He only needs outings with his new parents! P.S. This means he will take time to warm up to you too! If you are interested in finding out more about Blitz, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO-A-67 Blitz is being fostered in Grafton. The adoption fee is $500. Like Broken Tail Rescue on Facebook!. Follow Broken Tail Rescue on Instagram! 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.

Story
Meet Jax! An eight-year-old Boxer mix who is ready to travel anywhere for his forever family! Weighing in at a solid 70 pounds, Jax might just think he's a lap dog with his affectionate, sloppy kisses and an unwavering desire to be close to his humans. Imagine this gentle giant curled at your feet, or better yet, joining in a lively game of keep-away with gleeful children. His joy is palpable, especially when he performs his signature "jumping jax" at the mere mention of a walk! Jax has a heart full of resilience and love, ready to bring warmth to any family. Though he prefers not to be left alone for long, he’s a perfect companion when around other dogs he knows or people—even if just in another room. He adores the great outdoors, and his enthusiasm shines during playdates and adventures at the local dog park. He’s sociable with dogs of all sizes, though his recall may need a little polish—Jax is ever curious about the wildlife he encounters! Living with Jax means embracing his high-energy spirit and managing his sensitive stomach with the right diet. An enclosed yard, constant companionship, and a routine filled with walks and playtime would ensure his days are as joyful as he is. Does your home have room for a big-hearted boxer mix with a love for life? Could you be the one to keep Jax's tail wagging happily ever after? If so, please contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com, and let's chat about the joy Jax can bring into your life! Also, Jax is open to a long-distance adoption—love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!

Boxer American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, 10 yrs 6 mos

Story
Meet Hayley! A spirited ten-year-old Boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier mix currently living in Richmond, VA, whose essence is a warm embrace wrapped in a fawn coat with charming white accents. Hayley is a tender-hearted girl with an endless supply of love to give! At 35 pounds, she is the perfect medium-sized companion who believes that laps exist purely for her snuggles. She thrives on physical affection and will nuzzle your hands, curl into your side, or rest her head in your lap as if to say, “You’re my entire world.” Her daily joy comes from playing with stuffed toys and chasing after balls, followed by a cozy nap near her favorite human. She knows many commands including sit, lay down, stay, leave it, wait, stand, paw, and drop it. Her intelligence and eagerness to please make her training sessions filled with quiet pride and mutual trust. Though she hasn’t had formal obedience classes, she learns quickly with positive reinforcement and would love a guardian who continues nurturing her gentle mind. Hayley’s sensitive side means she seeks a calm, predictable home. Loud noises, crowded environments, or unexpected touches can make her anxious, and she may offer a warning yip or gentle nip to communicate when she feels overwhelmed. She has never bitten anyone but benefits deeply from guardians who respect her boundaries and understand her body language. She is especially tender about her paws and eats a lamb-based sensitive skin diet to keep her feeling comfortable and itch-free. When it comes to furry friends, Hayley prefers being the only pet. She has shown reactivity to unfamiliar dogs and is selective with cats, sometimes ignoring them, other times reacting based on their energy. Her ideal home would be a peaceful haven with no other animals, no young children, and guardians who cherish quiet walks, routine snuggles, and serene evenings watching the sun set together. Reach out today at adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn how this deeply affectionate girl could become your loyal companion and best friend!

Story
Meet Maya! A serene eight-and-a-half-year-old brindle-coated sweetheart currently living in Doylestown, PA, whose quiet presence is like a soft blanket on a chilly evening. With a gentle gaze and calm demeanor, Maya may take a moment to warm up but when she does, she’ll melt right into your lap and your heart. Weighing in at around 35 pounds, Maya is a medium-sized girl with a passive personality and a preference for the cozy comforts of indoor life. Her nickname? “Vampire dog” because she much prefers the nighttime for her outdoor adventures! She isn’t one to demand constant attention, but when she chooses to snuggle up beside you, it’s like being chosen by a tiny, fuzzy queen. Maya hasn’t shown interest in toys much, especially after realizing her companion Kalle can be a bit protective over them, but she finds her joy in soft bedding, calm environments, and being close to her trusted humans. She’s crate trained, house-trained, and takes everything at her own peaceful pace. Thunder makes her nervous and she prefers a slower approach when meeting new people. Quick movements can unsettle her, but patience and treats go a long way in helping her feel safe. Though Maya hasn’t had formal training, her quiet nature makes her a lovely presence in a calm home. She’s not a fan of cats and may be a bit shy around unfamiliar dogs, but she remains gentle and respectful. Maya has been Kalle’s quiet companion for years, and they’ve built a strong bond together. While Maya would be perfectly content in a loving home of her own, she would be especially happy if Kalle could join her in this next chapter. Are you ready to welcome this gentle little night owl into your heart? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about Maya!

Nessie

Boxer German Shepherd Dog

Female, 7 yrs 4 mos

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Nessie! A tender-hearted seven-and-a-half-year-old Boxer mix currently in East Lansing, MI, whose soulful eyes and velvety tan coat (with a white blaze down her chest) reflect a life spent longing for connection, calm, and comfort. At 55 pounds of snuggly sweetness, Nessie is what you'd call a professional cuddler! If there were an award for being a cozy couch companion, she'd win paws down. Her greatest joy? Stretching out beside you, resting her head close, and quietly soaking in the warmth of your presence. She’s house-trained, crate-savvy, and knows a whole vocabulary of helpful commands like “sit,” “come,” “leave it,” and “kennel up.” Whether she’s nibbling on a hard chew toy or curling into a donut shape in her crate (her personal sanctuary), Nessie lives for the simple pleasures of a peaceful, predictable life. Nessie experiences anxiety and has struggled with other dogs, especially sharing space with her canine sister. Over the years, the two have had occasional altercations that have been unpredictable. Despite years of dedicated management (including professional behavioral support, training, and carefully structured reintroductions) the tension between them never fully resolved. Because of this, Nessie needs a home that's quiet, adult-only, pet-free, and steady. A secure, fenced yard would be her dream! A space to sniff, explore, and sunbathe without encountering other dogs. She’s not a fan of thunderstorms and finds being left alone tough, but with loving companionship and a steady routine (meals twice a day, her cozy crate always accessible), she finds comfort. Nessie takes a small daily medication that supports bladder control while she sleeps. It’s fully managed, and she has no daytime accidents. What shines brightest in Nessie is her devotion. She doesn’t just want to be near her person, she needs to be. She’s the kind of dog who will press her head into your hand, lean into your side, and make you feel like the most important person in the world! Could your heart and home be the peaceful place this sweet girl needs to settle into the next chapter of her life? To learn more or meet Nessie, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Story
Blanche is a sweet and devoted companion with a heart as big as her spirit. Rescued from the hurricanes that struck the Carolinas when she was just 8 months old, she’s now about a year and a half and ready to find a loving home of her own. Blanche loves staying active! Whether it’s chasing tennis balls, playing tug-of-war, or going for walks, she’s happiest when she can move and play. She would do best with adopters who enjoy an active lifestyle and can give her plenty of exercise and attention. Protective by nature, Blanche takes her home and family seriously. She’s been working on building confidence and responds best to calm, patient caregivers who can provide consistent leadership and reassurance. Once she trusts you, she’s incredibly affectionate and loyal — the kind of dog who will always be by your side. Blanche would likely enjoy having a canine companion of similar size to play with. With the right guidance and love, she’ll make a wonderful, devoted member of your family.
