Calling all animal lovers!
If you're on the lookout for a new pet for you or your family, look no further.
Whether you want a dog, a cat, or even a furry little friend to complete your home, think adoption first!
There are hundreds of lovable pets just waiting for you to take them home in rescue leagues and shelters everywhere.
Check out these 10 pets available for adoption from Broken Tail Rescue, Inc. below.
-
Leonardo
Leonardo (Leo) is a sweet 3-5 year old kitty who just wants to be loved. He has such a cute expression and that's why we named him after the actor, DiCaprio - not the Ninja Turtle. He just does not sit still enough to get a good picture, but his foster mom keeps trying! His video captures how he loves to snuggle.
-
Ollie
Ollie was rescued from the streets of Dorchester and has seen some tough times, but you'd never guess it from how affectionate he is.
Ollie is FIV+, but in a nurturing and safe home he can live a long a healthy life. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system. It is typically transmitted through bite wounds so Ollie could live with other cats as long as they got along. If properly cared for, he can live a full and happy life but in his later years, he may be more susceptible to infection. For this reason, Ollie should always be kept indoors.

samantha
Samantha is an adult, short-haired dilute tortoiseshell with gorgeous coloring.
Samantha is many things: beautiful, fun, friendly (to people), talkative, and a great companion. She's not a lap cat, but LOVES to be close beside you and wants your company whenever you're around. She likes to play with the "bird" toy and loves looking out windows. She likes petting, but on her own terms, at least initially. She'll warm up to you, and would love to be by your side! -

Romeo & Juliette
Hi ! I'm Juliette (Jules for short) - the bee-you-tea-ful torite, and unlike many torties, I am sweet and adorable. The handsome tiger is my brother Romeo. That's right, we're siblings and.our foster mom gave us these names to show how bonded we are. We just turned 2 years old, and we still share the cat tree, and cuddle together on the bed. Also, I confess, I often still wash my brother's head - I want him to look his best when our new people are looking for us.

Star
Hi, I'm Star! I am a friendly, 13 years young pit bull mix whose owner could no longer take care of me. I am on the smaller size for a pittie, about 40 lbs. Well, okay, I may have done some emotional eating-- we've all been there. My foster mom describes me as a brindle meatloaf, but I'm sure she just means I'm a reliable standby!
-
Copper
Wanna play? My name is Copper and I love to play! I am an 11 lb Chihuahua/BostonTerrier boy with a charming underbite. I am estimated to be about 3 years old. I bark ferociously when I see people and dogs that I don't know but if you let me take a few minutes to size you up (and offer me a few treats), I will probably end up in your lap licking your face. I go in my crate on my own to play with toys and relax when my foster mom is busy. I will cry softly if you close me in though. I would much rather be with my people. I get along great with my foster dog brother. He is a big guy. Whenever he is not looking, I love to sneak over and grab his bone to chew on. We go back and forth. I steal his, he steals mine but we never fight (all right, hardly ever).

Jasper
Looking for a soft, fluffy friend? I am Jasper, an 11 lb, 2 year old poodle mix.I have ahort stubby docked tail. I would love to join your family. I love long walks, car rides and never get tired of playing.I love toys of all kinds Women are my favorite people but I am willing to consider a male companion who will give me time to get to know and trust him. I am fairly well housetrained but will need to continue my training and I will be great.I am also crate trained. Jasper will sit on command, and he begs with both paws up like a high 10!

Roxie
Hi, I'm Roxie, a sweet Chihuahua, who would love to be your shadow and follow you around the house. I've only been with my foster mom less than 24 hours and I'm already keeping her in my sight at all times! I'm about 8 years old and weigh about 13 lbs. I'm housebroken and sleep quietly in my crate. I get along with the other dogs in the house. I don't know about cats but I would probably be OK with them.
