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 Melody! Melody is approximately 2 years old, 56 lbs currently and she may have some Hound in her mix! In her foster home, she is working hard on house-training, crate training, and leash walking. She could go to a home with kids 10+, and other dogs. SHe has not been exposed to cats.Her foster says, `Melody would be great in a home with another dog her size to play with! She enjoys meal time, and picked up quickly to the new routine. She had a few accidents, but never while crated. She willingly goes into her crate to eat, and for bed times with a treat. She’s been leash walked because we have no fence, but I know she’d love to run free with another dog and play fetch. She loves a good cuddle on the couch, but might nibble on the blankets and pillows while she’s at it. Melody is the sweetest cuddle bug and would make a loyal dog to her new adopters!`She is available for adoption by appointment with an approved adopter in Westford, MA. Please fill out an application on our website at https://www.browndogcoalition.com/adoptable as a first step.-Dogs may not be given as gifts or surprises.-Please thoughtfully discuss with your entire household the physical, safety, financial and emotional responsibilities of a dog BEFORE applying to adopt.- More information about our adoption process, application and adoption fees can be found at browndogcoalition.com

Story
**Kipper's adoption fee has been generously sponsored** Meet Kipper 💛 At 12 years young, this handsome senior is the perfect mix of calm and silly. His foster describes him as easygoing, adaptable, and happiest just being with you. He’s gentle, affectionate, and loves people and new friends - whether that means joining you on a walk, curling up for a couch snuggle, or keeping you company while you work. Kipper is housetrained, crate trained, and knows all the basics (sit, down, paw, place, off, rollover)—and he’s still learning! Whoever said old dogs can’t learn new tricks has clearly never met this boy. He travels well in the car and is always up for a daily woods walk, a neighborhood stroll, or a burst of zoomies in the yard. Stuffed toys are his favorite, and he’ll happily toss them around before settling in at your side. At night, Kipper is easygoing - he sleeps soundly through the night in his bed. Kipper is looking for a cat-free home, but he has enjoyed the company of other dogs and may do well with a well-matched sibling—or happily as a solo pet. He’s enjoyed walking with doggy pals in the past. Could Kipper be the senior sidekick you’ve been searching for? **Kipper's adoption fee has been generously sponsored**

Story
At first sight, you are sure to be smitten with this super sweet bulldog mix. His body is too cute for words! Virgil is about 5-years-old and weighs 53 pounds. He loves to get belly rubs, and show off his butt wiggle. He has been waiting awhile for his person and would love nothing better than to start his new life with you. Virgil has the traits of an American Bulldog, but somehow acts more like a water dog. He has an incredible love for water, especially when he can swim out to retrieve a thrown tennis ball or stick. It’s one game he never tires of. We like to say he’s a natural mer-man ‘wading’ for his forever family! Virgil is rather low maintenance. He is fulfilled by outdoor time, observing nature, and simply being with his people. He also enjoys walks and is good on the leash, though playing in water really makes his day. He has a funny way of turning meal time into fun time by batting around his Rolly Kong for kibble. Although he likes activity, he also has a lovely mellow side and enjoys quiet time. Among his many qualities, he’s also a dapper dude. Would you believe he loves being pampered and brushed? Virgil is very food-motivated and enjoys pleasing you. Since he is wary of strangers, his love of treats comes in very handy when introducing him to new people. If someone new approaches with a treat and lets him make the first move, voila! He’s a happy boy who will sit, lay down, or shake hands with you for more treats. Virgil has a sad background, but with the resilience of a champ he overcame abandonment. As a stray, he landed in a shelter with no ID tag, no microchip, very fearful, and left unclaimed. Because the staff gave him time and tender loving care, he started coming out of his shell. Soon after, Virgil attended a basic obedience class and then transitioned to a foster home where he is learning what a good, safe home is all about. Virgil now has a bouncy puppy-like strut and each day more and more of his personality comes through! He works with his foster mother daily. She reinforces all he learned in training and gives him new challenges as well. Virgil needs an adopter to continue providing direction and confidence-building activities. We know Virgil will thrive in a stable forever home with an experienced person or family who will help him recognize how special he really is. In this type of environment, he is such an easy dog. He just needs time to know things are A-OK so he won’t be fearful and anxious. With your gentle time and patience, you will earn his trust. Fortunately, Virgil provides all the companionship you’ll ever need. He doesn’t do well with other dogs, or cats, but he would be ok with older kids with dog experience. Since he alerts you to noise, he is not good for apartment or condo/townhouse living or tight neighborhoods. Ideal perks are a fenced yard and water access! Please complete an adoption application at https://www.brokentailrescue.org/adopt/ For serious inquiries, email maryloumaria@yahoo.com Thank you! Virgil is being fostered in Gloucester, MA. The adoption fee is $500. Like Broken Tail Rescue on Facebook!. Follow Broken Tail Rescue on Instagram!

Story
Meet Coco — a 57-pound Pitbull mix beauty who’s equal parts sweetheart, snugglebug, and self-appointed bodyguard of love. 💗 Coco is very sweet, very smart, and very loyal — but she’s also got a bit of a resource-guarding streak and takes her “protect my people, snacks, toys, and space” duties seriously. She’s looking for an experienced dog owner who can help her feel safe, decompress, and channel her energy in all the right ways. Coco’s one of those dogs who wants her favorite humans close by — ideally the kind who work from home and don’t mind sharing their bed, couch, or general existence with a 57-pound shadow. She adores people she trusts and will happily curl up with you for belly rubs, naps, and snacks — basically, the holy trinity of dog happiness. She’s good with cats — as long as they’re independent types who won’t try to steal her bed or her spotlight. Coco’s all about peaceful coexistence, not sharing her throne. 👑 If you’ve got a calm, kid-free home, some dog experience, and room in your heart (and on your couch) for one fabulous, loyal lady — Coco’s ready to be your devoted best friend. 🐾💕 If you are interested in finding out more about Coco, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Coco is being fostered in West Roxbury, MA.
