Story
Meet Blitz! Blitz is a 7-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
I’m looking for a very specific home for my dog, Titan—a 4-year-old boxer/bullmastiff mix (about 65 lbs). Titan is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and forms strong bonds with his person. Once he trusts you, he is calm, loving, and wants to stay close. He does best in a structured environment with clear boundaries and consistency. He is not a dog for everyone. Titan is wary of strangers and needs slow, controlled introductions to new people. He is most comfortable in a low-traffic home without frequent visitors. There was a past incident where he bit a family member’s hand during a high-stress situation when multiple people were around him and he was being handled near his face. The injury required medical attention but was not severe, and there has not been a pattern of repeated incidents. With proper structure and awareness of his boundaries, he has been manageable and stable. Titan would do best in:
• An adult-only home (no children)
• A low-traffic environment
• Someone experience

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!

Story
Meet Spade! A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix currently in Tinton Falls, NJ, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a sleek black coat with striking white accents. At around 55 pounds, Spade is a medium-sized charmer who has mastered the art of being both a playful goofball and an affectionate constant companion. If he had his way, he would spend every day curled up as close to his favorite people as possible! Whether he is soaking up sunshine in the yard, roughhousing with enthusiasm, or snuggling beneath a blanket, Spade approaches life with his whole heart. One of his most endearing quirks is his nightly blanket routine. He loves wiggling and burrowing until he creates the perfect cozy nest for sleep. He is also a huge fan of rump scratches and responds with an adorable full-body dance when you find just the right spot! Crinkle toys and interactive toys keep him entertained, and he enjoys car rides, swimming adventures, and plenty of outdoor enrichment in a fully fenced yard. Spade knows “sit” and “paw,” is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He does well when left alone for reasonable periods and follows a simple routine of twice-daily meals, exercise, and relaxation. Loud noises, storms, and strangers approaching the house can make him uneasy, and he receives daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety. Spade needs a loving home where he can be the only pet. As he matured, he developed resource guarding behaviors around food, toys, and other high-value items, which led to serious altercations with another dog in the home that required intervention and veterinary care. Because these situations can arise with little warning, he is not compatible with other dogs or cats and needs a pet-free environment where he can feel secure. With people, Spade is incredibly affectionate and has no history of biting. He prefers not to be disturbed while eating and may give a brief growl if startled awake from a deep sleep to communicate that he needs space. He does best with calm, respectful teenagers or young adults who understand canine boundaries. In the right home, Spade's loving, goofy, and devoted personality truly shines! With the right environment Spade will reward his new family with endless affection, laughter, loyalty, and companionship. Could your family be the next chapter in this lovable boy’s story?
