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
Lola is an absolutely beautiful girl with a big personality and a loyal heart. She can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but with a little patience—and a few tasty treats she slowly begins to warm up.Lola would do best in an adults-only home where she can feel safe and comfortable. She is very protective of her home and the people she loves, which makes her a loyal companion but also means she needs experienced owners who understand her boundaries.On walks, Lola can be reactive to people, other dogs, and distractions, so she needs to be walked with a muzzle for safety. She also requires a muzzle during vet visits.If you’re looking for a striking, loyal companion and are willing to go at Lola’s pace, she could be a very special addition to the right home.

Story
Hazel knows exactly what she wants and is not shy about going after it! This boxer/pitbull mix puppy has already shown how quick she is to learn, even figuring out how to boss around a puppy twice her size, all while keeping things playful and fun.Hazel loves engaging with other dogs and would enjoy a home that can continue to support her social, active lifestyle. She may be able to live with other dogs and kids, but they would have to meet first.Like all puppies, Hazel will need guidance with housetraining and continued structure. She is looking for an adopter who has the time, patience, and consistency to help her grow into her best self. With the right direction, Hazel’s intelligence and enthusiasm will truly shine. If you are ready for a bright, spirited companion who will keep you on your toes, Hazel may be your girl! If you are interested in adopting Hazel, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursday from 12-4pm during our walk in hours. If you are unable to come during those times, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see what other times may be available by appointment.
