George

Age: Adult

Breed(s): Shar Pei & Pug Mix

Meet George! George is a 50 lb. 4-year-old mixed breed dog who was surrendered by his owner because she was moving and couldn't take him with her. Broken Tail was told that his mom was a Shar Pei/Pug and his dad was most likely a Jack Russell Terrier.

George is very well behaved. He is housetrained, loves his crate, and likes to spend his days outdoors in an outside kennel or fenced yard. He knows hand signals for "sit", "down", and can give "paw" as well as "other paw". George is good with other dogs and kids, and loves to play with empty water bottles, so he's easy to please! He also loves to play fetch and is really good at it as he brings whatever you throw right back and drops it at your feet.

Snickers

Age: Adult

Breed(s): Domestic Shorthair

Meet Snickers. He's a shy, older kitten. He did not get enough attention when he was tiny, so it takes him a while to warm up to humans. He needs an experienced cat adopter or someone really patient and committed to helping him learn to trust his new people. Snickers's new home should have another playful kitty to show him the ropes and to let him know it's okay to be a crazy kitty.

Dougie

Age: Young

Breed(s): Pit Bull Terrier

Hi! My name is Dougie. I'm a bit of a local celebrity...you might have seen me on CBS Boston's Pet Parade! I'm just the sweetest, gentlest boy you'll ever meet. While I'm just under 50 lbs, I still think I'm a lapdog and will take any opportunity to snuggle with you.

At 8-9 months, I am still young so I have lots of energy and enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities. At the dog park, I make fast friends. Outside of the park, I love to go hiking and am learning to run on-leash. When it comes to training, I'm all about the snacks. If you've got a tasty treat, you've got my full attention. Right now, I am perfecting my 'sit' and 'down' but I am looking forward to learning even more commands with your help!

Dutchy

Age: Adult

Breed(s): Chihuahua mix

Meet Dutchy! Dutchy is a super cute little chihuahua who weighs about 6 lbs. At 8 years old, Dutchy is missing a family of his own. He came in when his owner passed away and spent a few months in the shelter before going to Broken Tail Rescue.

Dutchy loves his walks and his house trained. He loves other dogs, but will occasionally lunge at cats to keep them on their toes. Dutchy needs some time to warm up to new people, but will warm up within a few hours. Still, Dutchy would best be suited for a quiet home without too many visitors or kids.

Dutchy loves to give kisses and will lick your hand for hours if you let him. He is skittish when having his leash put on. Overall he is a nervous guy with a lot of potential for love and companionship. He loves soft treats and is very food motivated.

Mika

Age: Adult

Breed(s): American Pit Bull Terrier/Hound Mix

Hi! My name is Mika and I am around 5 years old. I'm smaller than I look in pictures—only about 40 pounds, and I'm full grown! I have been waiting a LONG time for a forever home...I spent about 3 years in a shelter and the last six months in foster homes, but I want to meet the family that will keep me forever. I love people, and am really wonderful with kids! I don't really love other animals though, so I'm looking to be an only pet. I am fully housebroken, very polite, and great in my crate.

I am hoping you are someone who enjoys going for casual walks, car rides, and hanging out on the couch with your special dog friend. I love to roll in the grass and soak up the sun. And nothing is better than having my belly rubbed! I am looking for someone that enjoys what I do and will love me as much as I will love them. By the way, I am spayed, vet checked, vaccinated, de-wormed, flea treated, tested for heartworm disease and microchipped.
