Story
Meet Bruno! Bruno is about 7 years old, 14 lbs, and he may have some Shih Tzu in his mix! He is a local owner surrender because the person doesn't have enough time for him and wants him to be home with someone. He does great with his house-training, is not crated and likes to go on leash-walks. He does bark at other dogs on leash. He could go to a home with kids 10+, and would love to be an only dog. Cats are unknown.His foster says, "He would do great in a home of a retiree or someone who is home throughout the day. He would love a fenced in yard. He sleeps in bed with me and is very snuggly."He is available for adoption in Hopkinton MA by appointment. Please fill out an application on our website at https://www.browndogcoalition.com/adoptable as a first step.-Puppies may not be given as gifts or surprises.-Please thoughtfully discuss with your entire household the physical, safety, financial and emotional responsibilities of a puppy BEFORE applying to adopt.- More information about our adoption process, application and adoption fees can be found at browndogcoalition.com

Noa is the sweetest girl. She is great with other dogs and cats.  Loves to spend time outside relaxing and playing.  Enjoys walks and car rides. She was recently rescued with her brother and one other dog from a bad situation.   Left in the front yard with no protection from the elements.   Most likely had never been to a groomer.  Her brother will need to stay in foster for several months while his medical needs are taken care of. Noa is 2 years young,  completely vaccinated,  spayed, heartworm negative  and on monthly preventatives. ##2037573##

Story
Meet Luna! She is a sweet ball of fluff ready to bounce her way into a new home. Luna can be shy of new people but warms up in no time. She has lived with cats and would love having company most of the time as she doesn't love being alone. Luna still displays a lot of puppy energy and can't wait for a new playmate. Luna will be spayed on 4/29 and can be available as a foster until her surgery. She can be adopted after she is spayed. If you're interested in meeting Luna, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and stop by to meet her during our open hours Wednesday-Sunday 12-4.

Story
Tobi and Tyson are a package deal. Tobi is a full bred Chihuahua from a kennel in Pennsylvania, born April 28, 2019. Tyson is a full bred Shih Tzu from a different kennel in Pennsylvania, born September 11, 2018. We need to rehome them because we are moving apart and cannot take pets with us. We’d like keep them together, because they grew up together and are homebodies because we’ve worked from home for the past few years. Tyson is pretty codependent on Tobi and doesn’t like to be alone a lot, so Tobi is his best friend. Tobi is not as codependent. Neither of them are extremely socialized because of Covid, but Tyson is approachable and sweet. He gets along with people and children. Tobi is more temperamental, but is fine once he warms up to you. They like to have fun and play together and sleep together. We’d like them to have each other since they no longer have us. ❤️‍🩹They are up-to-date on their shots and they are home trained.

Story
Meet Shaggy! Shaggy was found as a stray and transferred to us after he wasn't claimed because we had a foster to adopt lined up for him. however, that home backed out as he was on his way due to an unexpected medical issue. Now Shaggy is in need of an adopter of a foster home. Shaggy is a cute little guy with the best underbite! He bonds to his human quickly and will be your shadow dog. Shaggy plays well with dogs his size but is nervous with larger dogs. A home with another small dog would be considered. Shaggy despises the crate and being restrained. He should have his own small space without a crate during his 3/3/3 rule decompression period and whenever you leave him home alone until he is fully potty trained. No young children for this little guy. *** If you are interested in finding out more about Shaggy, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO-A-80 Shaggy is being fostered in Worcester. The adoption fee is $350. 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.
