Story

Meet Dallas! They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and Dallas’ love is no exception! He delivers BIG LOVE alllll the time! He loves to tuck into the tiniest ball to sleep like a baby deer and rolls around on his back making velociraptor sounds of alien joy at every possible opportunity. He has a hilarious curly-Q tail and a next level smile that perfectly frames his adorable underbite! But Dallas hasn’t always been so carefree and this 7-year old affectionate and distinguished gentleman has a story that has broken our hearts a thousand times over. Grab a cup of tea… Dallas started his life in 2018 in a relatively normal fashion…vet care and seemingly normal family living. Fast forward to a few years back when his human mom passed away. Once she was gone, things changed. He was kept by his human dad in a crate or outdoor kennel, and shocked with an e-collar, developing significant trauma and fear. His dad had a stroke at the beginning of the year, and Dallas went to live with a friend of a friend…a couple who took him in to try to find him a home. This couple reached out to us early in the summer and we had scheduled a time to meet Dallas, but he never made it to that meeting. He got loose and Missing Dogs Massachusetts was involved in quickly getting him home safely. Then, he was put in the impossible situation of getting loose…again, only 10 days later. This time, he ran far and wide for 42 days, from Waltham to Watertown to Cambridge. We committed to taking him, sight unseen, while he was still on the run, because we knew he was worth it. And after holding our breath for weeks, we were thrilled to get the call that he was safe! It was an honor to finally meet this sweet, sweet man, and we are in LOVE with his gentle nature. Dallas is as loveable as they come! He lost over 33 pounds while missing and is still on a medically supervised refeeding schedule to help him safely gain back weight. He has steadily gained and is looking terrific! He required an echocardiogram based on his initial veterinary consultation and bloodwork, which showed mild to moderate heart disease. The cardiologist hopes it is due to the grain free nutrition he was fed earlier in life, as noted on his previous vet records (public service announcement…DON’T feed grain-free foods to dogs unless instructed by a vet). If this is the case, with meds, his condition should stabilize or even get better over time. He has started heart meds and supplements and has no outward signs of distress. With repeat bloodwork, we determined all of his values have stabilized and are normal! He recently had surgery to remove 3 mast cell tumors and two tumors of an unknown origin, and we are thrilled that the mast cell tumors were low grade with clear margins and were excised completely and the unknown tumors were benign! Woo hoo! This cleared him for adoption and starting his life, and he deserves it! We always root for the underdog, and this special boy deserves everything life can offer him after his terrifying ordeal. He has been repeatedly failed by humans and needs a safe and loving place to land. Dallas is learning to trust and is gaining confidence every single day with the help of his canine (and feline) foster siblings. We have kept his world small to make him feel as safe as possible, and his tail is now wagging freely on a daily basis, especially in the company of other 4-legged friends. In a quiet home, Dallas is a good-natured and affectionate dog…a regular dog. But when venturing outside of what is consistent and predictable, the fear can be quite debilitating to him. Any adopter should know that it will take multiple meets to gain his trust but believe us…it is worth it!!!! Big D is house trained, crate trained, and a super easy man to care for. Due to his size, and lack of history, older or no kids would be best for this deserving soul. Dallas’ top 3 priorities: 1. A patient family who will go SLOW! Dallas was on the run in the greater Boston area for 42 days and trapped by Missing Dogs Massachusetts before entering our rescue. He needs time to take in new situations and will thrive with a small and consistent world. 2. A family who will love and cherish this sweet soul after all that he has been through to make him feel safe. A spot on the bed is a must! And a calm canine sibling would sweeten the pot. 3. A family dedicated to Dallas’ ongoing vet appointments as he catches up from years of neglect.October 28, 2025, 8:26 am

Story

Meet Wookiee! This 11-month old hairy (almost) humanoid with the meatiest paws is pure intergalactic bulldog magic and came to us when his owner lost his pet-friendly housing with the sale of the building and surrendered his big/little man out of love. Wookiee is a low ridin’ superstar and a walking carpet of L.O.V.E.! What he lacks in true Wookiee height, he makes up for in larger-than-life personality and girth to spare! And his so-adorable-we’re-not-sure-how-it's-even-legal underbite is perfectly asymmetrical for extra whimsy and charm and sure to turn heads wherever he goes. Wookiee is a typical social puppy who loves to be close to the action and snuggle. He is a happy-go-lucky man who has the best tail wagging range of motion we have ever seen, slapping the sides of his body with every wag. And his noises…bulldog perfection (IYKYK)! Our vertically-challenged man is a 65-lb super chunk and covered in beautiful tri-color shades of furry brown. He also purrs like a kitten, has a tender heart, and is extra squish-tastic. We call him Chewbacca or Chewie because he loves to chew on nylabones (and snacks!) with gusto. He is wonderfully quiet in the car…we’re guessing he learned his co-pilot skills aboard the Millennium Falcon. And in typical Wookiee fashion, our man values honor and friendship above all else. He would make an excellent companion for a family looking for love. Wookiee is currently living in a home with dogs and cats and making himself right at home. He was reported to be great with dogs and ignore dog-savvy cats in his last home. Adopters will need to understand the breed and what owning a bulldog mix entails. The extreme features that make Wookiee ridiculously handsome require some extra attention. Adorable wrinkles require some additional cleaning and care. That squishy and ginormous face can mean breathing difficulty with exercise or quickly overheating in the sun. And his stocky frame means he could sink like a bowling ball in water. Due to his size, strength, and lack of history, older or no kids would be best for this sturdy goofball! Wookiee’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who wants an amazing companion dog, and who doesn’t mind a few (or more) snores. Wookiee will remain fiercely loyal to the Galactic Republic, and his forever family! 2. A family who isn’t fussy about a little drool amongst friends, particularly at the water bowl or at treat time. 3. A family who is aware of the potential medical costs associated with bulldogs of any type and is willing to care for Wookiee for all of his days. Pet insurance is highly recommended.January 27, 2026, 6:54 pm

Story

Meet Dixie! This 6-year old Southern Belle is a rotund stunner and so, so loving! She came to us from a loving local owner who is Australian and moving back to her home country…a country where pitties cannot be imported due to current regulations, and she would love to see Dixie adopted into a loving family before she leaves! Miss Dixie was originally adopted from Texas 3 years ago (hence the Southern charm) as a throw-away mama who had served her purpose. We are sure her puppies were spectacular based on the temperament of this sweet girl! She loves to lie on her back and roll around, letting it alllll hang out. Shy? No way! And truth be told…Dixie is actually an affectionate and unassuming couch potato who loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch with humans. She will stare into your soul with never-ending love, soaking up every morsel of love and attention she can gather. You stopped petting her? Oh, Miss Dixie will let you know. She is housetrained, travels well in the car, loves any and all treats (obviously!), and prefers human companionship to toys. Dixie will absolutely sound the alarm for every Amazon delivery (or if something scary with wheels moves past the house). She is an official welcome wagon, barking at visitors until they acknowledge her…then looking for constant love and affection during their visit. She has lived with cats successfully and is a bit of a curious weirdo meeting dogs. Nothing bad…just confused but ready to take their cues. This thick-thighed beauty prefers multiple short walks to longer ones. A hike for 2 hours or a walk in the heat? Uhhhh, no thanks. She would rather be in indoor conditions, where a couch, a human, and likely some snuggly blankets are offered. She is more of a lodge bunny than an expert skier but will gladly keep your spot by the fire warm and cozy while awaiting your return. Dixie has lived successfully with young kids with supervision, but due to her size, older kids might be best for this sweet chick due to her lack of social awareness and that forever wagging tail. Dixie’s top 3 priorities: 1. A home where someone is around and available to give her lots of constant love and attention. Dixie does fine when left alone, and settles into a low energy routine easily, but prefers the company of humans and would love a WFH buddy! 2. A fairly non-active household…or one where the dog doesn’t need to go on all the adventures. Though Dixie likes leash walks, she definitely prefers shorter walks and is known to flop on the ground on long or hot walks. 3. Someone willing to let Dixie live out all of her days, feeling safe and loved.December 22, 2025, 8:18 am

Story

Mona has a big personality for a dog that thinks she can fit on your lap. At 7 years old and 60 pounds, she is energetic and well behaved once taught commands. She initiates play often by running around or grabbing a rope toy but also knows if you need space. She forms a very strong bond with those she trusts, seeks to be obedient, and loves long walks to get her excess energy out. I got her at 2 years old and she has always had a huge heart, but an equally huge appetite so be careful not to overfeed. She doesn’t like loud noises or rain and can frighten easily, but likes to dart around so a careful walker or a fenced in backyard is desirable.

Story

At first sight, you are sure to be smitten with this super sweet bulldog mix. His body is too cute for words! Virgil is about 5-years-old and weighs 53 pounds. He loves to get belly rubs, and show off his butt wiggle. He has been waiting awhile for his person and would love nothing better than to start his new life with you. Virgil has the traits of an American Bulldog, but somehow acts more like a water dog. He has an incredible love for water, especially when he can swim out to retrieve a thrown tennis ball or stick. It’s one game he never tires of. We like to say he’s a natural mer-man ‘wading’ for his forever family! Virgil is rather low maintenance. He is fulfilled by outdoor time, observing nature, and simply being with his people. He also enjoys walks and is good on the leash, though playing in water really makes his day. He has a funny way of turning meal time into fun time by batting around his Rolly Kong for kibble. Although he likes activity, he also has a lovely mellow side and enjoys quiet time. Among his many qualities, he’s also a dapper dude. Would you believe he loves being pampered and brushed? Virgil is very food-motivated and enjoys pleasing you. Since he is wary of strangers, his love of treats comes in very handy when introducing him to new people. If someone new approaches with a treat and lets him make the first move, voila! He’s a happy boy who will sit, lay down, or shake hands with you for more treats. Virgil has a sad background, but with the resilience of a champ he overcame abandonment. As a stray, he landed in a shelter with no ID tag, no microchip, very fearful, and left unclaimed. Because the staff gave him time and tender loving care, he started coming out of his shell. Soon after, Virgil attended a basic obedience class and then transitioned to a foster home where he is learning what a good, safe home is all about. Virgil now has a bouncy puppy-like strut and each day more and more of his personality comes through! He works with his foster mother daily. She reinforces all he learned in training and gives him new challenges as well. Virgil needs an adopter to continue providing direction and confidence-building activities. We know Virgil will thrive in a stable forever home with an experienced person or family who will help him recognize how special he really is. In this type of environment, he is such an easy dog. He just needs time to know things are A-OK so he won’t be fearful and anxious. With your gentle time and patience, you will earn his trust. Fortunately, Virgil provides all the companionship you’ll ever need. He doesn’t do well with other dogs, or cats, but he would be ok with older kids with dog experience. Since he alerts you to noise, he is not good for apartment or condo/townhouse living or tight neighborhoods. Ideal perks are a fenced yard and water access! Please complete an adoption application at https://www.brokentailrescue.org/adopt/ For serious inquiries, email maryloumaria@yahoo.com Thank you! Virgil is being fostered in Gloucester, 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

Ducky is a sweet, gentle bulldog mix looking for a loving home with someone who understands the breed and is open to discussing her medical needs—please call to learn more. She’s an incredibly easygoing girl who thrives in a calm, predictable environment and does best as the main focus of the home. Because of her physical needs, Ducky should live with either a very calm dog who won’t jump on her, or as an only dog. She needs help getting onto furniture, either by being picked up or using a ramp.This low-key lady is all about the cozy life. Ducky loves cuddling on the couch, soaking up gentle massages, and sticking to a comfortable daily schedule. She’s not high energy at all—she’s a great sleeper, very chill, and wonderfully patient. During her time with us, she greeted new visitors with friendly curiosity. She’s alert when someone comes to the door but always welcoming to new faces.
