About this shelter

Broken Tail Rescue in Worcester, MA

Broken Tail Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization based in Worcester, Massachusetts, run entirely by dedicated volunteers. Located in Worcester County, it shares the region with 16 other animal shelters and rescues, and it sits about 9 miles southeast of Worcester, MA. The rescue works closely with local animal controls, shelters, and other rescue groups to find loving homes for dogs, cats, and other small animals, focusing primarily on the New England area while also assisting southern dogs when space allows. Every animal is vet-examined, vaccinated, and given necessary medical treatment before adoption, and the organization maintains a 100% spay/neuter rate on all canines, felines, and rabbits it places.
