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 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 Salem !We can tell you that dogs like Salem are such a joy to work with. She’s the kind of pup who greets you with bright eyes, a wagging tail, and a ready-to-go attitude. Her absolute favorite thing in the world? Walks. Salem adores getting out and exploring, and she will absolutely remind you - politely but persistently — if she thinks you’ve forgotten her daily stroll. Consider her your built-in fitness coach with four paws!At the shelter, Salem has done wonderfully meeting volunteers and staff. She’s been consistently sweet, lively, and eager to engage. Whether she’s trotting proudly on leash or soaking up gentle attention, she brings a light, happy energy wherever she goes. She truly seems to thrive on positive interaction and routine. If there are children in her future home, we recommend they be older and respectful, able to understand her cues and give her the gentle handling she deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited dog who will happily join you on every adventure (and make sure you don’t skip leg day), Salem may be your perfect match.If you are interested in adopting Salem, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm. If you are unable to come during those hours please email dogs @worcesterarl.org to see what other times may be available to meet her.

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 Groton, MA.

It is difficult for Luna to meet new people. Because of that, she can be met by appointment only. If you are interested in meeting Luna please go to our website worcesterarl.org and fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry Form https://worcesterarl.org/dog-adoption-inquiry/ - please indicate when you would be available on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday between 9am and 3pm on any part of the form and a staff member will reach out. You can email dogs@worcesterarl.org with questions. Meet Luna! We have come to appreciate Luna’s big personality packed into a tiny frame. Luna is a sassy Chihuahua who can be wary of new people and will often voice her opinions with barking while she figures things out. With time, patience, and respectful introductions, Luna’s trust grows. Once it does, she is incredibly loving, affectionate, and playful with her people.Luna has lived with other dogs in the past, though at the shelter she has preferred to keep to herself or bark rather than make canine friends. She would do best in a calmer home environment without kids, or busy apartment complexes with constant new people and animals overwhelming her. For the right home willing to go at her pace, Luna will be a devoted and delightful companion.

Story
Archie is a charming Chihuahua with a big personality and a big heart. Like a tiny dragon guarding his treasure, Archie has a history of resource guarding around food. If allowed to collect and hoard food items in his bed or crate, he may growl or lunge to protect them. Archie will thrive in a home that understands this behavior or is willing to learn. His new home should be adult only, relatively quiet and commitment to management, structure, and positive reinforcement. Sometimes Archie does not want to be picked up or moved, he enjoys having a some independence.Outside of this challenge, Archie is tons of fun. He loves going for walks, enjoys staying active, and can be an incredibly affectionate, loyal companion. With the right guidance and consistency, Archie has so much love to give and is ready to share his life with someone who sees the wonderful dog he is. If you are interested in meeting Archie, please email info@worcesterarl.org. Meeting Archie is by appointment only, thank you!
