Story
Meet Echo! Echo is an adventurous, loving and smart shepherd mix. She is an active girl looking for a fresh start!Echo`s three favorite things are being outside, cream cheese and tennis balls. She loves to spend her days outside playing fetch, going on hikes and then settling in with some cream cheese filled enrichment. If you`re looking for a happy adventure buddy, then Echo is the one for you!Echo is looking for adopters who can continue to put her brain to use (she loves to learn new tricks) and show her the ropes of being a dog. She has already mastered sit, paw, down and drop it and is working on spin and rollover. She is incredibly loyal and will lean in for pets once comfortable. Echo may enjoy living with older kids, but we are not sure if she ever has lived with them. Dogs? Maybe, but they would have to meet first. If you are interested in adopting Echo, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays between 12-4pm and bring the folks that you live with. If you are unable to come during those hours, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to request an appointment, and let us know your availability.

Story
Meet Balto, a handsome 4 year old pup in the prime of his life — strong, energetic, and ready for adventure. This handsome boy came to Broken Tail Rescue when his owner sadly realized they could no longer give him the time and attention that he needs. Now, Balto is waiting for a family who can match his enthusiasm and zest for life. Balto is exceptionally smart and highly food-motivated, which makes training both fun and effective. He loves learning, thrives with structure, and truly enjoys working with his people. Whether it’s mastering new commands, going on long walks, playing fetch, or engaging in mentally stimulating games, Balto is happiest when he’s active and involved. Winter is his season — he absolutely lights up in the snow! Watching him roll, bounce, and zoom around in a snowy yard is pure joy. Because of his energy level and strength, Balto would do best in a home where people are around often and can provide regular exercise, continued training, and plenty of engagement. He has a big personality — playful, affectionate, and full of character — along with an even bigger heart. He bonds deeply with his humans and wants nothing more than to be part of the action. His ideal forever home would include a family, someone that works from home, and a fenced in yard. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you active, make you laugh, and shower you with love, Balto may be your perfect match. If you are interested in finding out more about Balto, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Balto is being fostered in Worcester, 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
Rescued: 3/17/2023 Age at time of rescue: 3 days old Current weight: 42 pounds Meet Kimmy – Gentle, Sweet, and Learning to Love Life Kimmy is a soft-natured, gentle girl who has come such a long way since arriving in our care. Once unsure of touch and affection, she’s beginning to understand how wonderful gentle pets and companionship can be. Every week, she shows more curiosity, confidence, and trust — and she’s starting to act more and more like the happy dog she was always meant to be. What Makes Kimmy Special • Calm, polite, and naturally well-behaved • Housebroken and tidy in her space • Walks beautifully on leash and now enjoys exploring the neighborhood • Knows “sit,” “down,” and “place,” and is learning to hold her position with confidence • Starting to seek out affection — she’ll quietly nudge your hand for more pets once she warms up • Loves her Benebones, antlers and quiet moments nearby her favorite people • Respectful of her surroundings and easy to have around the home What Kimmy Needs Kimmy thrives with gentle structure and a calm environment. She continues to make wonderful progress with patient, positive experiences. Having another friendly, confident dog around helps her feel secure and encourages her playful side. She may still prefer calm moments to constant attention, but she’s learning that being close to people feels really good — and she’s blossoming into a loving, loyal companion. Who Kimmy Is Looking For Kimmy is hoping for a home that celebrates small victories and understands that building trust takes time — and lots of love. A patient adopter (and ideally a canine friend) will help her continue to grow into the happy, affectionate dog she’s becoming. Ready to Meet Kimmy? If you believe the best relationships are built gently and grow stronger day by day, Kimmy is ready to meet you. Step by step, she’s discovering that love feels wonderful — and she’s so ready to share it with her forever family. Thank you for considering a dog in need! Please go to our website at www.satoheartrescue.org to download our application. The adoption fee is $500.00 which can be paid in cash or check. We look forward to working with you! PLEASE DO NOT send an INQUIRY THROUGH ADOPT-A-PET. Due to the volume of emails we receive, we will not be able to reply.
