Story
Meet Casper: friendly, curious, and absolutely not the ghost type 👻🐾 Casper is an 8-month-old Pitbull mix who weighs about 48 pounds and comes fully loaded with puppy enthusiasm, good looks, and a very active curiosity about absolutely everything. If there’s something new to sniff, investigate, or supervise, Casper would like to volunteer immediately. He’s incredibly friendly and outgoing—the kind of dog who assumes everyone he meets is probably a new friend. Dogs? Love them. Big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs… Casper is happy to hang with them all. He’s a social guy who enjoys canine company and would likely do great with a dog sibling. Casper may also enjoy having a kid around to play with. He’s been great with his foster mom’s kids and clearly enjoys their company—though, like many growing puppies, he hasn’t quite figured out where all 48 pounds of himself are at any given moment. Personal space awareness is still a work in progress, but his intentions are 100% joyful and friendly. Like most young pups, Casper has plenty of energy and a healthy sense of adventure. Toys are exciting to him and he loves to throw them around but he also loves exploring the world and sticking his adorable nose into whatever interesting thing might be happening nearby. Casper is the perfect mix of playful, friendly, and curious, and he’s at that wonderful age where he’s ready to learn, bond, and grow with his forever family. If you’re looking for a happy, social pup who will keep you smiling and happily supervise all your daily activities, Casper is ready to report for duty. 💙🐾 If you are interested in finding out more about Casper, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Casper is being fostered in Barre, MA. The adoption fee is $600. 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
Pebbles is a gentle pitbull mix ready for a fresh start after being found as a stray. She has been soaking up attention from shelter staff and volunteers, showing her sweet nature and loving heart along the way. Pebbles enjoys affection, kind words, and taking things at her own pace.She may be able to have dog friends or live with another dog, but she can get shy when play becomes too much and will retreat when she feels overwhelmed. Pebbles would thrive with adopters who will make her a part of the family, and explore the world with her. If there are to be children in the home, they should be older and able to be respectful of dogs. With love, understanding, and a cozy place to call home, Pebbles is ready to begin her next chapter. If you are interested in adopting Pebbles, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm.If you are unable to come during those times, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see what times may be available by appointment.

Story
Meet Frito, a sensitive, loving and energetic pit bull mix who is looking for a fresh start. Frito can be shy at first and will bark at new people but with time (and some of her favorite treats) she warms up. She will need multiple meets before she feels comfortable enough to start her next chapter. Once she has warmed up Frito loves to be with her people and soak up all the attention she deserves! Frito loves to go for long walks and is extremely food motivated. She enjoys spending her time outside and will happily sniff around for hours. During her time here she has mastered our agility frame! Frito is looking for experienced adopters who will spend time getting to know her gentle soul and can continue to build her confidence throughout her life. Frito enjoys other dogs` company and would benefit from another calm confident dog who can help show her the world isn’t scary. She has met multiple dogs and seems to light up in their presence! If you are interested in adopting this special pup, please come to the shelter with all family members on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm. If those times don`t work for you, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see if we have other available times for you to meet them.

Story
Meet Carter! Carter is a 3-year-old, 53lb pitbull mix with the sweetest heart and the silliest smile. This excited, loving boy has been waiting for over a year for someone to notice him—and he is so ready to finally find his forever person. Carter is the kind of dog who just wants to be someone’s best friend. He loves treats, hugs, toys, and anyone willing to appreciate his goofy, playful personality. He does great with other dogs (we recommend slow introductions) and would love a doggy sibling to romp around with—but he’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as your one and only. It’s hard to believe no one has scooped him up yet, but that just means his perfect match is still out there. Carter is located in Houston, TX, and transport is included in his adoption fee—so he can travel straight to you! If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will shower you with unconditional love, Carter is your guy.

Story
🐾 Meet Benji Benji has been waiting far too long for his chance. Found as a stray, he missed out on the structure and guidance every dog deserves—and he’s been making up for lost time ever since. Through it all, one thing has never changed: Benji loves people. Everyone he meets is a friend. He enjoys car rides, outings, and walks nicely on leash—including walks with canine friends. He’s incredibly smart and loves training. He’ll even entertain himself by picking toys out of his toy box and happily playing on his own. And when he settles in? His cuddles are the kind that make everything else fade away. Benji does get overstimulated at times, which shows up as jumpy, mouthy behavior. This isn’t unusual for dogs who haven’t had consistent structure—but it does mean he needs someone experienced who understands these behaviors and can guide him with clear boundaries and consistency. Benji is looking for a foster or adopter who can offer: 🏡 Adult-only (or possibly teen+) home 🐾 The only pet in the home 🎓 Experience with jumpy/mouthy or high-arousal dogs 📏 A structured, consistent environment ⏳ Time to decompress and adjust What Benji offers: ❤️ A deeply social dog who genuinely loves people 🚶‍♂️ A great walking and adventure companion 🧠 A smart, eager learner who thrives with training 🧸 A playful side (he loves choosing toys from his toy box!) 🤝 A loyal, affectionate best friend You won’t be doing this alone—we’re committed to supporting Benji and his person every step of the way. Could you be the one Benji's been waiting for?

Story
Meet Malibu and Diesel, the ultimate senior “odd couple” who have spent their entire lives bonded and would love start their next chapter still together. They came to the shelter because their family sadly lost housing. Malibu is a stunning 100 lb., 10-year-old Malamute with a soft heart behind her initially shy demeanor. Give her a little time (and maybe a treat or two), and she quickly warms up into a loyal, affectionate and super smart companion. She prefers a quieter home with calm, responsible adults and/ or teens. True to her breed, Malibu has a signature Malamute howl that is so iconic she even taught a Chihuahua at the shelter to join in!Diesel is her easygoing counterpart. He is a social, confident guy who enjoys meeting new people and brings a laid-back charm wherever he goes. He’s looking for adopters who understand and can keep up with his typical care needs, and in return, he offers steady companionship and a great personality. Diesel will need adopters who are dedicated to his need to keep his skin/coat clean and fresh. Together, they balance each other beautifully. This pair have so much personality, sweet, soulful, and full of character. Malibu and Diesel are ready to bring double the love to a home that will cherish them both.If you are interested in adopting this bonded pair, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm, with all of your household members. If you are unable to come during those times please email Dogs@WorcesterARL.org for times that we may have available by appointment.
