Story
Meet Raven – Your Loyal, Ball-Loving Sidekick 🎾 Raven is almost 2 years old and 100% ready to find her forever home—and her forever tennis ball. This sporty sweetheart is: • ✔️ Potty trained • ✔️ Great with other dogs • ✔️ Knows “Sit”, “Kennel”, and now "Down" like a champ • ✔️ Obsessed with tennis balls (like, truly... it’s a lifestyle) • ✔️ Loves going for rides in Foster dad's truck • ✔️ Highly food motivated and loves treats—that helps with training! She's got energy to burn but is doing well on a leash, improving with every walk—she's the kind of girl who wants to get it right and is eager to learn. Raven came from a home with a woman and kids, but she seems to prefer men. She warmed up to her foster dad almost immediately, but takes a little longer to trust women. No drama—just a girl with a few emotional layers. With her brains, heart, and snack-seeking superpowers, she’s been adjusting beautifully in foster care and is looking for a home that gets her: one with patience and plenty of playtime. If you’re looking for a loyal, sporty companion who will proudly carry tennis balls in her mouth like trophies and give her heart to the man of the house (and maybe the woman too, eventually), Raven is ready for her next adventure 🐾 If you are interested in finding out more about Raven, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Raven is currently 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.

He needs time to build trust, but once that trust is established, he forms a strong bond and is very affectionate with his person. Loki is not a small dog—he weighs around 70 pounds and doesn’t always realize his size. For his age, he is very active and physically strong.Loki enjoys daily walks and will let you know when it’s time to go. Despite being around 8 years old, he remains strong on leash and needs a confident handler. He loves hiking, tug-of-war, and spending time outdoors—especially sunbathing in the summer.Loki’s requirements:Adult-only householdNo other petsFully fenced yard (required)Stable, low-stress environmentPatient, experienced adopters willing to move at his paceMultiple meet-and-greets and a home visit required to ensure the right fit for his forever homeLoki does best with routine, clear boundaries, and limited visitors.
