Story
Reese has been an integral part of my life for a long time. It’s sad that he has to be rehomed because I will miss him dearly. Reese joined our family about 10 years ago. We got him at Pet Express. He was the cutest little thing. He was so kind, friendly, and curious. He's an awesome companion. He does well with other small to medium dogs and children. He''s super playful, but loves to snuggle up under a blanket and take naps. He's very social but knows how to self occupy by playing with his toys. He is neutered and his shots will be up to date upon adoption. He’s smart and extremely affectionate so be ready for lots of love and empathy from him. There have been times I've cried and he would come over to comfort me. I think he’d be an amazing addition for an older couple or an older individual who is looking for a loyal companion that’s portable and loving.

Story
Meet Ruthie: senior in years, noodle in body, and professional couch hog 💕🐾 Ruthie is a 9lb, 11-year-old Chihuahua mix who somehow missed the memo about looking her age. She’s got the long, tall, lanky body of a tiny greyhound and just enough pep to keep life interesting—think “elegant senior with a playful streak.” She’s a quiet little lady who prefers peace and calm. Loud noises? Hard pass. Barking? Rare—but fair warning, when she does bark, it’s impressively loud for her size. Her absolute favorite place to be is on the couch with her foster mom, nose-to-nose, like they’re sharing top-secret gossip 😂. Ruthie is excellent in her crate and does wonderfully with routine. She can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little time and gentle reassurance, she’s expected to grow more confident as she settles in. When it comes to exercise, Ruthie enjoys short strolls to sniff the neighborhood and stretch her long legs—marathons are not on her vision board. A cozy home, a comfy couch, and a person who appreciates a calm companion would be her dream come true. She can be vocal and shy with new people, so an apartment might not be the best environment for her. Ruthie is currently working on some reactivity issues. She does not like to be disturbed while she is sleeping and will let you know when she isn't happy with how you're touching or moving her. If you’re looking for a low-key best friend with a quirky body, Ruthie is the dog for you 💖 If you are interested in finding out more about Ruthie, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Ruthie is being fostered in Millbury, MA. The adoption fee is $225. 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 Toby — a 5-year-old (+/-) Chihuahua with a heart full of love, a head full of opinions, and legs that are always ready to zoom. Toby is what we’d call a “selective socialite.” He’s not the type to run up to strangers and hand out friendship bracelets—but with patience (and a thorough sniff test), he’s been making progress. He’s had several positive experiences meeting new people lately, which shows how much potential he has when given time and encouragement. Basically, he’s a tiny bouncer in a fur coat who’s learning that maybe not everyone is trying to sneak into the VIP lounge. Here’s what Toby does love: 🌲 Nature walks on quiet trails, where he struts like he owns the forest. 💦 Splashing at the water’s edge—he’s not a swimmer yet, but he’s curious. 🥦 Broccoli. Yes, seriously. He’s a veggie connoisseur. 🧹 The vacuum? Not scary. Toby’s got bigger things to bark at. 🚗 Car rides are his jam—bonus points if he gets to announce his arrival out the window. 🐱 Cats? Totally fine. Zero drama there. Now, Toby isn’t without quirks. Cars on walks? He thinks they need to be put in their place, so he’ll bark and lunge to make sure they know who’s boss. Strangers? He’s still learning that new people can be okay, though he listens beautifully to direction and encouragement once he trusts his human. With patience, consistency, and maybe a little professional training, Toby has all the potential to keep growing into his best self. At home, he’s a lovable cuddle bug who adores pets and zooms around like a caffeinated squirrel when he’s excited. He’s affectionate, playful, and absolutely hilarious once he feels secure. Toby may never be your party pup or the mayor of the dog park, but he doesn’t need to be. What he will be is a fiercely loyal, endlessly entertaining little companion who will love you with everything he’s got. Adopt Toby—your spicy, snuggly adventure buddy with a bark that’s big, but a heart that’s even bigger. 🐾💚 If you are interested in finding out more about Toby, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Toby is being fostered in Millbury, MA.

Story
Hopper is a sweet but sensitive little guy who takes a bit of time to warm up—but once he trusts you, he absolutely loves attention and being close to his people. He has a playful side and enjoys running around and having fun, especially when he feels comfortable in his environment. Hopper has previously lived with another dog and did very well, so he may enjoy having a canine companion again in his new home. Like many Chihuahuas, Hopper has a big personality for a small body—he can be vocal and expressive, and he definitely knows what he likes (and doesn’t like!). Cold weather is not his favorite, and he may refuse to go outside when temperatures drop.Hopper isn’t a fan of vet visits and will need some extra support, including pre-medication and a muzzle, to help keep him calm and safe during appointments.With a little patience at the start, Hopper will reward you with affection, companionship, and plenty of personality.No apartment buildings for Hopper.

Hello, my name is Star. I am a shy, timid old lady who would like a quiet home to live out the rest of my days. Although I am doing well at the moment, the vet here has diagnosed me with kidney disease and mammary cancer. If you have any questions about me, reach out to my friends at the shelter.

Story
Grimm is a 2 year old pocket sized pup looking for a comfy lap to cuddle up in. He is neutered, microchipped and uo to date on vaccines. Clocking in at 35lbs, he is perfectly portable and looking for his forever home. Grimm loves to go for car rides, walks, chew on bones and spend his days with his people. Grimm plays well with others, but he does play rough! He is dog-selective and has a bit of Napoleon syndrome. He does best with female dogs around his age that are more submissive than he is. Grimm is house trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. He can be possessive of food and toys, so should eat alone and always be monitored around other dogs if toys are involved. He is patient with babies and toddlers, but like any dog, should always be supervised. If you're looking for a scruffy best friend with a seriously cute underbite, Grimm's your guy!
