Story
Meet McDreamy — a 12-pound Chihuahua who is exactly as charming as his name suggests. This little guy arrived with a painful eye condition and, once it was removed, he blossomed into the happiest, winking ray of sunshine you’ll ever meet. He's somewhere between 6-9 years old (best guess for this former stray). Like any self-respecting Chihuahua, McDreamy may bark or grumble when he meets someone new — but give him a minute and he’s melting into your arms, wagging his tail like a tiny propeller, and demanding snuggles as if you’ve been best friends forever. McDreamy’s vibe with other dogs: • Small dogs: “You’re cool. Let’s hang.” • Big dogs: “I decline.” He’s not a fighter, but he won’t back down if another dog brings the drama, so a home without an alpha-type resident is ideal. He’s affectionate, clever, deeply cuddly, and—bonus—housebroken. A tidy little gentleman through and through. Everything is exciting to McDreamy: • 🍽️ Mealtime: Pure joy. • 🌳 Walks: Peak adventure. • 🛌 Burrowing under the blankets: Nightly bliss. • 🎾 Toys: Big fan. Loves all of them. Will proudly parade them around like trophies. He asks for love almost instantly in neutral territory, snuggles like a pro, sleeps under the covers like it’s his life’s calling, and leans into you with total trust. He is currently getting daily ointment in his remaining eye, which he tolerates quite well, and may need it for the foreseeable future. If you’re looking for a pint-sized sweetheart who will adore you, follow you everywhere, and fill your home with wiggly, affectionate joy, McDreamy is ready to sweep you off your feet. 💕🐾 If you are interested in finding out more about McDreamy, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog McDreamy is currently being fostered in Millbury, MA. 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 Princess — proof that royalty only gets better with age. 👑🐾 Princess is an estimated 15-year-old, 8-pound Chihuahua who arrived with a few other senior pals and immediately made it clear she did not come here to fade quietly into the background. After completing treatment for anemia, Lyme disease, and a skin infection, she is now doing phenomenally in her foster home and living her best golden-years life. Medically speaking, Princess has high blood pressure that’s easily managed with daily medication. It did cost her vision in her left eye, but don’t worry — she didn’t get the memo. She navigates life like a pro. She’s also rocking a recent dental with just five teeth remaining, plus a partially dissolved lower jaw that gives her an absolutely iconic perma-blep. It’s adorable. You will be obsessed. Despite her senior status, Princess has great mobility. She hops on and off the couch unassisted, handles short staircases just fine, and would likely enjoy short, leisurely leash walks. But her true cardio routine? Mealtime. Princess LOVES food. Like… full-body zoomies, all-four-paws-off-the-ground, dancing-for-her-dinner levels of love. She’s housebroken-ish: she’ll happily potty outside right away and does great with frequent outings. For longer stretches or less supervision, diapers help keep everyone stress-free and happy. Socially, Princess is a dream. She adores other small senior dogs and regularly snuggles up in a cozy canine pile. She ignores cats like the dignified lady she is and is wonderful with children. She’s generally quiet, though she may bark at unfamiliar visitors — because even queens have boundaries. In short? Princess is sweet, resilient, cuddly, hilarious, and full of heart. If you’re looking for a tiny royal with a big personality, a legendary blep, and endless love to give, Princess is ready to rule your couch (and your heart). 💕👑 If you are interested in finding out more about Princess, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Princess is being fostered in Sutton, MA.

Story
Meet Lexie — a 4-year-old Chihuahua with a big personality, a bigger heart, and just enough sass to keep life interesting. 💁‍♀️🐾 According to her foster mom, “she’s wonderful!” — and that pretty much sums it up. Lexie is smart, knows lots of commands, and absolutely lives for playtime. She LOVES playing with other dogs and thrives in a lively, bustling home where there’s always something going on. Lexie uses her voice strategically — to ask for attention, request a potty break, or alert you to a potential “intruder”. Once she’s settled and content, she relaxes beautifully and happily curls up with her people. Lexie does great with kids, dogs, and cats in her foster mom’s busy household and handles chaos like a champ. Running kids? Multiple pets? General household mayhem? She’s in her element. She can get a little mouthy during high-energy play, but it’s all excitement and enthusiasm — no hard biting, just a pup who sometimes forgets she’s not a lion cub. And when the energy winds down? Lexie turns into a cuddle bug extraordinaire. She LOVES giving kisses, soaking up affection, and being carried around like the tiny VIP she is. Lexie isn’t an off-leash gal (too many fun distractions), and she listens best when properly motivated — but she’s charming enough that you’ll forgive her selective hearing. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate, playful little dog who wants to be part of the action and part of the cuddle pile, Lexie is ready to bring the fun, the love, and the kisses to your home. 💛🐶 If you are interested in finding out more about Lexie, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Lexie is being fostered in West Brookfield, MA.

Story
Meet Niko — 7 Pounds of Cozy, Cuddly Perfection 🐾🛋️ Niko is an approximately 10-year-old Chihuahua mix and a distinguished little gentleman weighing in at a mighty 7 pounds. He was found in an empty apartment hanging out with some cats, and he’s since decided that the good life is all about comfort, warmth, and snacks. Niko’s top hobbies, in strict order of importance: 1️⃣ Cuddling deep inside sofa blankets 2️⃣ Eating soft food (he’s rocking just 4 teeth, and he uses them wisely) 3️⃣ Nesting himself into bed comforters like a tiny, living throw pillow He enjoys relaxing in his crate but is thrilled to share your bed at night if you’re open to hosting a very small, very warm roommate. Think canine heating pad with ears. Niko is quiet, polite, and gets along just fine with other dogs, but let’s be clear — his true calling is being emotionally and physically attached to his human. He’s house trained, though he firmly believes snow is a personal insult and would much prefer to potty indoors during winter unless closely supervised. This is a low-energy, low-drama senior who dreams of a predictable life filled with naps, cozy blankets, and frequent meals. Speaking of meals — Niko nearly lost his entire mind over a rotisserie chicken his foster mom was preparing. Food is love. Food is life. If you’re looking for a tiny companion who will happily spend his golden years snoozing beside you, warming your blankets, and silently judging your portion sizes — Niko is ready to move in and claim his spot. 🐶❤️ If you are interested in finding out more about Niko, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Niko is being fostered in Somerville, MA.

Story
Meet Zu!We’ve quickly fallen in love with all the personality packed inside this tiny pup. Zu is a spirited, sassy little Chihuahua who tends to be cautious with new people. With patience, space, and gentle introductions, Zu opens up beautifully. Once he feels safe, he’s affectionate, goofy, and eager to snuggle with “his” people.Zu has lived with other dogs before, but here at the shelter he prefers doing his own thing (and occasionally announcing his boundaries with barks). We believe he would do better with no other dogs. He’ll thrive in a calm home without young children, where new faces and activity aren’t nonstop.Zu also has a grade 3 luxating patella in his knee. At this time, surgery is not recommended. We simply suggest limiting big jumps and fast zoomies—but walks, playtime, and all the cuddles are just what the doctor ordered!If you’re patient, kind, and ready to meet a spicy-sweet companion who will blossom in the right home, Zu may be your perfect match.Walk-in adoption hours: Monday, Wednesday & Thursday from 12–4 PMCan’t make those times?

Story
Meet Olivia — an 8-pound Chihuahua mystery wrapped in a tiny burrito of feelings. 🌯✨ At just 1 year old, this pint-sized lady has already lived a whole saga. She was found as a stray here in Massachusetts, and whatever her past was… whew. It left her a little shaken, a lot cautious, and currently running on “Trust Issues: Deluxe Edition.” But here’s the thing: underneath that brave little exterior is a sweetheart desperate to let someone in. She wants to bond. She wants to love. She just needs someone patient enough to let her unfold like a shy flower with very sharp petals. 🌸😬 Right now, Olivia is staying in a lively foster home—kids zooming, visitors popping in, dogs everywhere, cats supervising from high shelves. She does fine, but it’s definitely sensory overload for a delicate soul who’d prefer a quiet home where the loudest thing is maybe… a soft sneeze. Here’s the Olivia Starter Pack: 💛 Reserved — Think: “introvert who doesn’t want to network.” 💛 Will follow you around like a silent, suspicious shadow. 💛 Will bite if she doesn’t know you — boundaries are important, ok? 💛 Slow to warm up — Foster mom needed 3 weeks to earn snuggle access. 💛 Absolute angel with the resident 6-year-old — kids with calm vibes = A+. 💛 Forgets who you are every time — she does friendship on “Groundhog Day mode.” Olivia needs: 🏡 A peaceful, low-traffic home 🧘 A patient human who understands trauma and tiny dog logic ❤️ Someone who celebrates progress, no matter how small ⏳ A willingness to let her take her sweet time learning you’re safe If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in gentle victories — the first tail wag, the first relaxed nap near you, the first time she remembers your face for two interactions in a row — Olivia will reward you with a bond that’s deep, loyal, and incredibly special. She may be small, but her journey is big — and she’s ready to start the next chapter with a human who sees her worth. 💕🐾 If you are interested in finding out more about Olivia, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Olivia is being fostered in Milford, MA.
