Broken Tail Rescue, Inc.

We are a MA non-profit organization dedicated to saving animals in danger of being euthanized. Our goal is to responsibly rehome these pets while working on educating our community on responsible pet ownership.

Broken Tail Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit foster-based rescue organization dedicated to the rescue of unwanted and abandoned animals in urgent need. We work closely with local animal controls, animal shelters and other rescue groups to ensure the placement of these forgotten animals. We will not discriminate on basis of health, age, or breed and will only consider humane euthanasia in cases of aggression or for quality of life due to untreatable medical conditions. We are proud to have a 100% spay/neuter rate for our adopted dogs and cats.

Our animals are vet examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered as needed and receive any and all medical treatment necessary prior to being placed into carefully screened permanent homes.
