Adoption policy

Broken Tail Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization run by a group of dedicated volunteers in Massachusetts. We focus on local animals in the New England area primarily, but we also assist southern dogs as well when space permits. If you are looking to adopt a dog or cat, look no further! We work closely with local animal controls, animal shelters, and rescue groups to ensure the placement of animals. We will not discriminate on basis of health, age, or breed and will only consider humane euthanasia in cases of aggression or for the quality of life due to untreatable medical conditions. Our animals are vet examined, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered as needed and receive any and all medical treatment necessary prior to being placed into carefully screened permanent homes. We are proud to have a 100% spay/neuter rate on the canines, felines, and rabbits that we adopt out. No animal leaves unaltered! All of our adoptable dogs and some of our adoptable cats are in loving foster homes. CAT ADOPTION CENTER PetSmart Cambridge 160 Alewife Brook Pkwy, Cambridge, MA 02138 We have some of our adoptable cats in the adoption center at PetSmart in Cambridge. Stop on by to see some of the sweet kitties currently available for adoption. Volunteers are available throughout the week as shown in the schedule to the right to answer your questions, accept adoption applications, and to let you into the adoption center to interact with the cats. However, we may encounter emergencies that result in no one being available at these times. We apologize for any inconvenience. Adoptions are completed by appointment only. You may also stop by at any time during the store’s normal hours to take a peek. If you see a cat that you are interested in adopting, you may fill out an adoption application online. Once received, one of our volunteers will contact you by email to discuss the cat you are interested in.
