Hold onto your hats for this one folks, she’s a doozy! Introducing Hilda! Nope, you’re not hallucinating and no, you don’t need new glasses   This adorable pittie in disguise, aka shih tzu, came to us from our friends at Boston Animal Care and Control after her owner was no longer able to care for her. Hilda is the type of dog who’s just magnetic, so much so that when we saw those big Ewok eyes in her kennel and her sweet little smile with her itty-bitty pink tongue, we just knew we had to get her out of the shelter. Big thank you to our incredible fosters Karyn, Mary, and Sandra for breaking the mold and giving this peanut a soft place to land. Hilda is every bit as sweet as she is adorable! She loves to bunny hop around the back yard and play with her teeny tiny little toys. Hilda is a perfect velvet hippo, errr Pygmy velvet hippo? She’s got house training down to a science and walks like a dream on her little leash. Have we mentioned that she’s tiny?   She’s happy to share her space with canine and feline siblings alike. Have you been searching for the most adorable tiny dog with a huge pittie heart? Here she is! Hilda can’t wait to meet you!

Story
This little guy is fantastic however can only be placed in a home with one person and no other animals! Chewy has had quite the life already and he is only 5 or 6ish we think? My husband found him 4 years ago on the side of the road dragging his body to drink from a puddle, his hair was so long & matted he wasn’t sure he was even a dog. After many operations, TLC & time he became my husband best friend until me & my 90lbs chocolate Lab showed up. He is house trained/ pee pads when he is in the right environment ShiTzu can be very stubborn. He loves nothing more then softly chewing on your fingers ( hence the name) , looking out the window & barking at other dogs, he pulls on the leash but if you have a backyard its hilarious to see him running around. So in a nutshell if you are looking for a adorable, diva dog with tunnel vision for you alone and you are willing to put in the work, he will be the love of your life! Ps we just moved from Boston and live in ocala Florida

Story
Meet Matty! He walks/struts well on leash, rides well in the car, and loves being outdoors. He spends virtually all day on or near his temporary Foster mom's lap and follows her wherever she goes like he's attached by an invisible cord. He likes cheese and carrots and enjoys gazing out the window and giving wildlife a piece of his mind when they dare invade his kingdom. His history before rescue - when he was surrendered as a stray - is unknown but he does need some TLC and training. He gets along with some dogs but can be barky towards ones he doesn't like. Matty is a bit jumpy with sudden or quick movements in his peripheral though he may relax and feel more at ease once he's acclimated to his fur-ever home. He's also been resource guarding his temporary Foster human against the resident Golden Retriever. He doesn't seem to guard food or toys, just humans. He'd probably do best in a home with someone who has experience with fearful dogs and where he's the only pet so he doesn't have to share his human. He has lots of love to give and is on the lookout for someone to provide him a stable home and patiently guide him to become the happy, secure, and confident pup we know he can be. You can apply now to foster or adopt when ready! -------------------------------------------- If you are interested in finding out more about Matty - please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: http://bit.ly/2JnZqK5 Matty is being fostered in Worcester County, MA. The adoption fee is $450. Please ask us about this if this is a hardship. 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.
