Beno's Story

Meet Your New Best Friend: The Smart, Sweet, and Loyal Companion Youve Been Waiting For!<br/><br/>Beno is learning to navigate in a whole new world now that he is not living the apartment life, the one he has ever known til now. He wants you to know he is full of love and devotion, if you'll promise to show him he can trust you. Will you be his bestest friend? He knows he can be yours. <br/><br/>Why You'll Fall in Love:<br/>Beno is a medium sized, energetic dog with the softest ears, always ready to show you how smart he is, and would probably thrive as an agility dog once he feels confident and secure in his new home. He is housebroken, improving his crate training, and only chews his toys, which he likes to bring to show to you or to get you to throw them for him. He will ask adorably and politely if he can sit on the couch with you, or sleep next to you. He loves to be close, and will fall asleep under your feet while at your desk. He's always eager to meet new dog friends with no drama. <br/><br/>His Perfect Match:<br/>An experienced or eager owner willing to patiently train him to be less reactive to new people and situations; someone who understands that he would like time to feel safe in his new home before starting a new social life. He is a fast learner, and eager to please, and hopes youll understand if he gets overstimulated. He is a bit of a "velcro dog" right now, which makes his recall great but also means he loves his humans deeply. Because of this, he does experience some separation anxiety. His foster family is actively working on crate training and solo time, but he will thrive best in an active household where people are home more often than not. <br/><br/>Leash Manners: he is so investigative that he hasnt gotten the hang of loose-leash walking yet, but he is actively working with a trainer on this. He can get overstimulated on busy trails, but as his confidence and sense of security increases, he will be a wonderful adventure companion. His recall is excellent, and is always nearby if off leash at his fosters house. <br/><br/>Kids: Unknown<br/>Cats: Beno will ignore cats if they ignore him. He has a respect for them, but will vocally defend himself against them if provoked. <br/><br/>Farm animals: Beno is currently being fostered on a farm, and does not harm chickens or horses. But he might be willing to give a chase occasionally. <br/><br/>This sweet boy has so much love to give and is going to make an incredible addition to a family ready to give him the time, reassurance, and activity he craves.

Contact us today to learn more or to set up a meet-and-greet!<br/><br/>If you are interested in finding out more about Beno, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser:<br/><br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog<br/><br/>Beno is being fostered in Berlin, MA.<br/><br/>The adoption fee is $500.<br/><br/>Like Broken Tail Rescue on Facebook!.<br/><br/>Follow Broken Tail Rescue on Instagram!<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.

Broken Tail Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our Adoption Process Broken Tail Rescue is looking for responsible and caring people to give a dog or cat their much-needed second chance at happiness. To adopt from us, you must first complete an application, which you can complete online here: https://www.brokentailrescue.org/adopt/ Once we receive your application, the foster parent or application team will be in touch with you within a few days to discuss the application and the pet you are applying for. If the pet is a good match for your family, you will then be asked to meet the pet at the foster parent’s home, if applicable, or come to one of our cat adoption centers during our adoption hours. We ask that all members of the household come out to meet the pet. If you are applying for a dog, all current dogs in the household need to come meet the dog as well. If the animal is a good fit for your home (canines only), we will then check your references. We ask for two personal references and the name of the vet that you currently use or have used in the past. The last step in the adoption process is the home visit (canines only). We just want to make sure your home is generally a safe place for the pet to live and confirm the address listed on the application. After the home visit, the adoption can be completed! Paperwork is completed at the foster home, and you can take home your new pet! While the process may seem extensive, it generally is not a long, drawn-out process – we can move as quickly as schedules allow, and most adoptions are completed in under a week. However, we feel it is important to take time to make sure we are matching the pet to the correct home. We would hate for a pet to be returned to us because of a hasty decision. Adoption Guidelines The following are just a few initial guidelines you should consider before deciding to adopt: Some adoptions will require adopters to enroll the dog in training classes as a condition of adoption There may be additional adoption requirements for puppies (puppy socialization classes, someone home during the day, etc.) Renters must have landlord’s permission Adopters must be 21 years of age or older All adoptive homes must be stable, supportive, and capable and willing to meet all financial and veterinary needs of the animal Adoption Fees Adoption fees help defray the cost of transportation, care, and medical treatment. Dogs Our adoption fees are generally between $300 and $400 for most adult dogs and puppies and are decided on a case-by-case basis. All dogs adopted from Broken Tail Rescue will be spayed or neutered, receive a veterinary exam, be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and started on preventive, dewormed, given flea and tick treatment if needed, and microchipped. Cats Our adoption fee varies by age for cats and kittens: 1 Kitten (under 12 months): $350 2 Kittens: $650 1 Young Cat (1-4yrs): $275 2 Young Cats: $500 1 Adult Cat (5-9 yrs): $225 2 Adult Cats: $400 Senior (10+ yrs): $150 Special Needs Cat: $150 or TBD 2 Senior or Special Needs: $250 or TBD All cats adopted from Broken Tail Rescue will be spayed or neutered, receive a veterinary exam, be up to date on vaccinations, FeLV/FIV tested, dewormed, given flea and tick treatment, and microchipped.
