Percy's Story

Meet Percy: proof that perfection comes in wonderfully weird packages <br/><br/>Percy is a 3-year-old, 31-pound American Staffordshire Terrier mix who may not be destined for the Westminster Dog Show, but he's a strong contender for "Most Likely to Steal Your Heart."<br/><br/>Let's address the adorable elephant in the room: Percy is... gloriously unique. Imagine if a Corgi and a Pit Bull had a whirlwind romance and produced a charming little low-rider with a delightfully quirky appearance. He's got short legs, a big personality, some bumps and skin tags, and is hairless from the middle down, making him look like a tiny piglet when he naps on his side. <br/><br/>Percy is a certified kiss enthusiast. Once you've earned his trust, prepare for face kisses, neck kisses, enthusiastic belly-rub requests, and a permanent shadow who insists on accompanying you to the bathroom, the laundry room, the mailbox... basically anywhere a loyal bodyguard is needed. Shorts wearers, consider yourselves warnedhis squat little legs are surprisingly good at demanding attention.<br/><br/>This boy has places to go and things to sniff! Percy loves car rides, walks, and investigating every blade of grass. He's great on leash, although soft sandy beaches are a firm "no thank you"those little legs have standards. His prey drive is refreshingly low, happily ignoring rabbits on walks, and toys remain a bit of a mystery. Toss him a ball and he'll look at you like you've handed him a math problem.<br/><br/>At home, Percy enjoys couch surfing, supervising the neighborhood from his favorite armchair, and then rewarding himself with a well-earned nap. He doesn't mind a crate, but he's been enjoying the freedom of home life in his current foster placement. He also takes his role as Household Property Manager very seriously. If another dog has ever lived in your home, Percy may feel compelled to update a few previously marked locations while he settles in. A good enzymatic cleaner and a sense of humor will go a long way.<br/><br/>New people, dogs, and children can be a little overwhelming at first, so Percy appreciates slow introductions and a chance to figure everyone out. Once he decides you're one of the good ones? Game over. You'll have a loyal best friend who adores you with his whole quirky heart.<br/><br/>Percy isn't looking for a family that wants a picture-perfect dog. He's looking for people who appreciate personality, celebrate individuality, and know that the most unforgettable dogs are often the ones who break the mold.<br/><br/>If you've ever dreamed of adding an elf-like, couch-hippo, low-riding love machine to your family, Percy is ready to waddle, wiggle, and kiss his way right into your heart. <br/><br/><br/>If you are interested in finding out more about Percy, 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/>Percy is being fostered in Millbury, 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/><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.
