Standard Poodle Female Puppy / Fernandina Beach, FL

DIXIE

VIP Rescue has a Female Standard Poodle Puppy for adoption to FL and GA residents.  She was born 5.5.2022.  She is a sweet independent puppy, has not met a stranger, and loves to play with the other dogs in the foster home. She is apricot in color.  She is fostered in Fernandina Beach, FL. and will be adopted to homes within a reasonable distance of Fernandina Beach.  Standard Poodles are high energy, have a high-prey drive, and require a grassy yard to exercise in that is fenced on all 4 sides with a minimum 6-foot fence.  No exeptions. We do not recommend puppies to homes with small children.

She is eager to learn, she is athletic, wickedly smart, and a very versatile dog.  She likes to sit in your lap and will gladly give kisses!  We are working on the leash walking and potty-training.  She and some of her littermates came to VIP Rescue as a result of an impending divorce.  

She has had two grooming sessions and did well. She has all her puppy vaccines, is microchipped, negative fecal, and on preventatives. She weighs in at 23 lbs.

So, do you think you want a puppy?  Well, you are at the right place!   If you are ready for a bouncy intelligent high-energy puppy, Dixie might be right for you!!!!  She is ready to begin her journey with a family of her very own that can run with her, walk her, play games with her, and share their laps with her.  Puppies are tons of fun but they do require ALOT of work, exercise in a yard, leash walks, patience, and consistent training on your family’s part to be the best pup they can be!  They need structured training especially for housebreaking!  Their little bladders can’t hold it all day so please make sure you are up to the task and are home to let them out every few hours.  If that’s not possible, please consider one of our adult dogs which might be better suited for your lifestyle!  Standard Poodles typically live 12-15 years, so keep their lifespan in mind if you are thinking of adopting one of these girls.  Your age should be appropriate for the puppies estimated lifespan.   

These puppies are people dogs, velcro dogs, and do not do well when left alone or unattended for long periods.  Obedience training for the puppy is highly recommended at an early age for this extremely intelligent breed of dog.  High quality food is essential for their growth and development.  At present they are eating FROMM Puppy.

Please read the information below carefully before submitting an adoption application at VIP RESCUE. (www.viprescue.org) 

Standard Poodles require monthly grooming, frequent brushing, and these puppies are no exception. Grooming ranges from $100-$200.  

Poodles are generally active and agile. They are happiest with daily walks and lots of outdoor play and exercise. Without enough attention and activity, they can get bored, agitated, restless and sometimes destructive. Also, if you can give your Poodle the opportunity to frolic in water, by all means do and start at an early age.  Poodles do not like to be left alone for hours on end. They love being around people and are able to form bonds with each member of the family, as opposed to bonding with just one person. They also make superb watchdogs barking zealously when strangers approach the home.  Poodles may look dainty and demur, but in truth, these are high-stamina dogs with a stellar range of skills, including agility, obedience, hunting and herding. 

VIP Rescue reserves the right to approve or disapprove adoption applications submitted based on each dogs’ specific needs. If your adoption application is approved, you will be required to travel to the dogs foster home to meet the dog.  A home visit by VIP Rescue at your home is a pre-requisite in the adoption process of these pups.  After you submit your application, you should also call your Veterinarian’s office and give them your permission for VIP Rescue to speak with them to gather the necessary information to process your application. Our Volunteers will be in touch with those that meet the criteria for these puppies.   

Please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application and to also see the many other wonderful pets in our Rescue waiting for their “fur”ever home.  

Upon receipt of your adoption application we will process the application as soon as possible and respond to you.  All of our staff at VIP Rescue are volunteers. All information provided in the application will remain confidential and not be shared outside of VIP Rescue Volunteers.

ADOPT  CHARLIE

TAVARES, FLORIDA

Meet CHARLIE! He is an affectionate male cream-colored Standard Poodle, and is estimated to be 2-3 years old.  VIP RESCUE adopts to Florida Residents only.  Charlie requires a 6-foot fenced grassy yard to exercise and play, no exceptions.  Charlie and other pets were found locked in pens outdoors with no access to food or water after their owner was found deceased.  Charlie came to VIP Rescue weighing in at 39.8 pounds. We estimate his weight should be about 45-50, and he is gaining every day.  He eats Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Grain Free food due to food sensitivities. Charlie likes other dogs however his play can be over the top for some dogs.  He is learning to play appropriately and takes correction from other dogs well.  He does best with dogs that are not submissive, and not afraid to put him in his place or a home with no other dogs.  Charlie is very active, and very playful – still very much a puppy and is crate-trained for those times when you need to leave or when you cannot watch him.  He is leash trained, and knows sit and usually comes when called, however, we highly recommend a basic obedience class for his new owner to get the upper hand and set boundaries.  Charlie likes to be chased by dogs and kids, plays fetch, but has not mastered bringing back the item.  Charlie rides well in the car.  We recommend children be at least 8 years old in his new home to handle his energy.  He is housetrained.   He would love to nuzzle up with you on your sofa, or on your lap if you prefer. He is timid when meeting new people, and will come to you on his terms after you are seated. He is good on the groom table and needs monthly grooming and frequent baths. When Charlie came into VIP Rescue, he was severely matted and was shaved down as a result. 

Charlie is recently neutered, up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative, had a dental, and is  microchipped.  He had “happy tail” and his tail was recently docked due to medical necessity.  He will be available for adoption around June 28^th when he gets his stitches removed.  Charlie would do well in an active home setting with a parent at home, with lots of energy to play with him, inside and out, and long walks. He is not a good dog for seniors due to his high activity level and estimated age of 2.  Charlie is fostered in Tavares, Florida.  To adopt Charlie, you must come to meet him at his foster home, and bring your dog(s) to make sure it is a match.  

If you meet the qualifications for Charlie, please complete an adoption application at VIP Rescue to be considered. www.viprescue.org A home-visit is a pre-requisite in the adoption process at VIP RESCUE.  Charlie’s adoption donation is $400 and obedience training with a professional is a must and a large crate! VIP Rescue reserves the right to approve or disapprove adoption applications submitted based on the dogs specific needs, the age, and the health of the dogs we are adopting.

VIP RESCUE thanks all those who donated to our fundraiser for Charlie and the other 6 dogs that we took in on emergency basis from the shelter. We are grateful for your continued support. They are all doing well at this time, and will be listed when they become available for adoption.

ADOPT ANNIE
VIP RESCUE Leesburg, FL
www.viprescue.org

Annie is an affectionate smart black Standard Poodle, weighing in at a sleek 42lbs., born 10.12.2011. Annie is healthy, has been spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and all vaccines and preventatives are current.

Annie has had a wonderful life at her former home she lived at since being a puppy. She lived on a large ranch with many large and small animals and lots of room to run and roam – a home body. Annie was surrendered to rescue as she was having compatibility issues with dogs and for both their safety, she was surrendered to VIP RESCUE to find her a new home.

Annie loves people, and wants nothing more than your devotion and attention. She is a Velcro dog; she wants to be wherever you are, and does not want you to leave. She loves walks, to destroy toys, cuddle with you, and give kisses. She was not raised with children and we do not recommend small children. Annie is trained on basic commands, she is housetrained once she figures out her new surroundings, she likes sleeping in your bed, she loves to run and is very fast. We have been working on social skills outside the home with Annie, taking her on car rides, going to peoples’ homes, stores, introducing her to other dogs on walks, and entering and exiting vehicles. She still has a way to go. Annie does bark when you leave because that does not make her happy!

Annie is looking for a home with a 6 foot fenced area to roam and explore. She is dog selective, therefore we have decide to place her in a home with no other dogs or cats. It takes her some time and space for her to acclimate to new people and new surroundings. Once she does, you will not find a more loving compassionate girl to fill your heart with love and be your constant companion. She is very devoted. She requires a home where she is rarely left at home alone. She would like to go where you go.

Annie requires frequent bathing and frequent grooming, so please calculate that into your monthly care costs. She is not fond of baths, but is good with an experienced groomer.

If you would like to meet Annie, you will need to complete an adoption application at www.viprescue.org. Do not apply if you do not have a minimum of a 6 foot fenced yard with ample grass area for her to run and play. Do not apply if you are not a Florida resident. Applications are considered based on the best matching home for Annie. A Home Visit to your residence are part of the application approval process. If you have dogs, we will schedule a time for you to meet Annie. If you want to meet Annie, you will need to travel to Leesburg, Florida.

Annie’s adoption donation is $350.

ADOPT EEYORE!

EEYORE is a 19 pound senior Shih Tzu.  He is the perfect houseguest, he is housetrained, gets along with other animals, and likes to walk around and explore.  He loves belly rubs, loves his ears rubbed, loves to eat, and his dog beds.  He will let you know when he needs to go outside, time to goto bed, and that he is hungry!

Eeyore came to VIP Rescue after being part of a police case, sitting in a shelter for a month waiting for relelase.  After being released to VIP Rescue, he had 14 teeth pulled and several growths removed.  He has had acupuncture and chiropractic treatments to improve his mobility and has made significant progress.  We guess his age to be 10+.

Eeyore would love to snuggle on your lap, and take short walks with you.  He also enjoys the pool being supported in your arms.   He is vision impaired, however he does see.  We do believe he has complete hearing loss.  But that does not stop him from being a love bug and he learns the lay of the land quickly and is independent..  At 19 pounds, he could stand to lose a few pounds with moderate exercise and a controlled diet.

If you are looking for a no mess, no fuss dog, Eeyore is your boy.   Always pleasant, ready for a lap, and ready for a nap!  Eeyore is a typical happy senior – he has senioritis, but that does not stop him from enjoying every day and being a great companion.  We recommend Eeyore live in a one-story home, we do not think he would navigate stairs well.  Eeyore requires frequent brushing and grooming.  Eeyore does not appear to shed.

If you would like more information on Eeyore, you need to complete an adoption application at www.viprescue.org   Our volunteer will contact you.  Eeyore’s adoption donation is $100.

We adopt to Florida residents.

So far, this adorable girl is Full of smiles and kisses!!  She is smart and eager to please.

She thrives on attention! !

She has done excellent on housebreaking. And does well on a leash.

She is Full of energy and would do well in an active home.   I’ve heard they are great running partners!

She has some issues when she first meets other dogs, but has the ability to get along with them, but because of this would do best as the only dog in the home.  

She is mildly interested in the cat. And seems to do well with people.

She came to us after just being treated for heartworm.  Because of this, she’ll need  low-key activity for a few months.  She needs to be re-tested for heartworm in a month.

She is spayed, micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccines and meds.

Mercy is 2.5 years old, spayed, 15 pounds

ADOPT TIMBER

Timber is a looking for a new loving family to spend the rest of his life with.  He is a handsome 11-month old male brown (silver-beige) Standard Poodle puppy. He weighs about 40lbs and has a surprisingly calm demeanor for a puppy his age.  He is still full of entertaining puppy antics, he has a sweet and loving personality, and is becoming more outgoing and social every day. Timber loves a good romp with his foster brothers, also standard poodles, and happily plays tug of war with them. Timber walks nicely on a leash.  He is learning his commands and responds well to treats! Timber acknowledges commands, but he is not accustomed to loud or harsh tones nor does he need that.  He likes toys and is not destructive with them, although he’s been known to nibble on a chair leg and my credit card if he finds it!  He is a Velcro dog and just wants to be wherever you are. He currently sleeps in a crate.  He likes to be in the same room as you and does not like to be left alone.  He can be quite verbal about that.  He loves to cuddle in the bed with you and readily gives hugs.  Timber rides well in the car and is a good travel companion while visiting other people and places.  Timber is good with other dogs, and does well with children supervised.  

Timber was surrendered to VIP Rescue, his former owner was struggling with some issues and could no longer care for him.  When Timber came to VIP, we noticed he was constantly thirsty, seeming to never get enough fluids.  After several veterinarian visits and a hospitalization for in depth testing, it was determined that Timber has Psychogenic Polydipsia – a very rare condition in dogs.  The best news is, his organs are all functioning normal (liver, kidney, thyroid, heart, etc.) however his brain is always telling him he is thirsty.  Little is known about the cause of this disease as there are so few cases, either in humans or dogs.  So, we manage his water intake for him, he gets 68 ounces, and we spread it throughout the day.  We can provide more information on Psychogenic Polydipsia if you are interested in learning more or you can call your veterinarian for advice.  He has seen specialists, the tests are complete, and all his records are available.  It is possible this disorder could go away, or it could remain for his lifetime – his prognosis is unknown.  He is in perfect health other than this disorder.

Timber is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and ready for an adventure in moving to his new permanent home and finding his soulmate.  A fenced yard is a requirement, as he loves to run and play and frequent potty breaks are a necessity.  Timber would do best in a home where his master is home most of the day, either working from home, retired, etc.  Another dog would be wonderful for him to have a playmate, but it might be too challenging for some to monitor his fluid intake if there are other water bowls where he could potentially drink from and swimming pools that are readily accessible to him.  It is important he stay on his 68 ounce per day regimen as he is not able to self-regulate at this time.

We adopt to Florida residents.  If you would like to meet Timber, you will need to be able to travel to Leesburg, FL 34788.  He is a great deserving boy of a wonderful loving home!  As with all puppies, additional training is recommended.  He requires frequent brushing and regular grooming.

Timber’s adoption donation is $300.

ADOPT WALLY!

Leesburg, FL 

Welcome to Wally’s World!  Wally is thought to be a Standard Poodle. He is 44 lbs., 15 months old, and a handsome cream boy with brown eyes that will melt your heart.   He loves his people, has loads of energy, and needs a decent sized 6-foot fenced yard to run and play at his new home.  (NO EXCEPTIONS PLEASE). 

Wally loves everyone, loves affection, and wants you to be the center of Wally’s World.   His antics are quite entertaining.  As far as other dogs, he will run and play with them – he does not have a mean bone in his body.  However, not all dogs like his continuous play mode.  He is super smart, and energetic – and he can be stubborn too!  He does not like being left alone, he can be vocal, and he can whine.  A very multi-talented boy!  But he does settle……when properly exercised.  

Wally was surrendered to VIP Rescue after his owner attempted to rehome him several times unsuccessfully due to his high energy.  He had been through minimal training from his first owner, and now we have worked with him in rescue and we have seen great improvement.  As with any puppy, he needs ongoing training to define boundaries, structure, routine, and stability in his new home to flourish.  Wally needs a handler that is not a pushover and understands the commitment and patience it takes to train a high energy puppy.  He gives lots of hugs and kisses – but – he will also jump on you, and dance circles around you!  However, this is all improving with love, stability, and training. These behaviors are very typical for a Standard Poodle Pup his age.

He has shown little interest yet in balls or toys but is very treat driven.  He does well on leashed walks, and does not appear to have a prey drive like most Standards.  Wally loves riding in the car and going places with you.

Wally is not a service dog candidate or an emotional support dog candidate.   Wally requires frequent brushing, and monthly grooming. He is a little wild on the groom table and will need an experienced groomer. 

Wally is recently neutered, and up to date on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He appears to be in perfect health.  He is looking for a home where you are home most of the days/evenings.   He will not do well in a home that works and crates -6-8-10 hours a day – he would prefer to be with you 24×7 and free.  Preference will be given to those with Standard Poodle experience having successfully raised a puppy and are an active home – no couch potatoes.  At this time, Wally is crated when he eats, and when he is left home alone.  He has not been destructive to the home but you do need to keep your closet doors and trash out of his reach.  Older active children would be great with Wally and we recommend they go thru training with Wally.

A home visit is a pre-requisite to be approved for adoption at VIP Rescue.  

Wally’s adoption donation is $500.  $100 will be refunded to the adopter when training has been completed with a certificate of completion along with your trainers name and phone number.  We require Wally’s new owner to continue his training as he is eager to learn and for the adoption to be successful that is what it will take.  

If you would like to know more about Wally please complete an adoption application at www.viprescue.org.  Please do not submit an application if you do not have a minimum of a 6 foot fence on all sides and a sufficient grassy area for him to run.  If you are in the process of fencing your yard, please submit an application when the fencing is complete.  Thank you for thinking rescue!

VIP RESCUE ADOPTION EVENT

FEB 29th.  11AM – 2PM

Largo PetSmart Store

ADOPT KONA!  Leesburg, Florida, 34788

Kona is a smart, sweet, active, handsome large adult Black Standard Poodle looking for a new home due to no fault of his own.  He will turn 9 in March 2020 and he hopes to celebrate his birthday in his new home with his very own Birthday Party!  Kona was stressed and anxious when he came into his foster home, but quickly warmed up, got his appetite back, and started playing with the 2 Standard Poodles there.  It was not long and he showed us his spunky happy playful side. Kona is mild mannered, he is full of love and affection; and is a true Velcro dog that is looking to be your loyal best friend. He wants nothing more than your attention and to be with you wherever you go – that includes the bathroom!  Kona is 75-80 lbs., a big boy!  When Kona came to rescue his coat was severely matted from neglect and he endured a shave down gladly.  He has a lovely thick curly coat that will grow back in due time.  Kona likes to be brushed, massaged, going for car rides, playing with other dogs, lounging in a dog bed, sitting in the recliner, stretching out on your couch, and sleeping with you if you allow.  Kona catches on to new things quickly – he is leash trained, house trained, and crate trained.   He could use a refresher course in some basic obedience training such as COME and learning to properly EXIT DOORS!  Kona is treat motivated which makes for easy training.  As with most Standard Poodles, he is a counter surfer, so anything left on the counter, table, nightstand, end tables within his reach, he will consider it is his for the taking and shame on you for letting it happen!  Generally speaking he primarily is looking for edible items, but then he might try your glasses or hearing aid, or other personal items as time allows.  He has not been destructive at all in his foster home but his foster is experienced from her own counter surfers.    Kona is social and enjoys being out and about and with you.  Kona has played well with two other Standard Poodles in his foster home, and previously lived with multiple small dogs with no issues getting along.  We are told he is not fond of cats but we have not tested that.  We will assume NO CATS for now in his future home to be safe.  Ideally, Kona would like a home where there is a retiree or work at home parent with nothing more to do than to pay dote on him all day!   So far, we have observed that when his foster mom leaves, he stays by the door waiting for her return.  He is a loyal boy.

Kona requires frequent brushing and frequent grooming.  Kona is a champ for bathing and groomers, he simply loves the attention.  He seeks your approval, and he is a needy boy.  However, if you let him know you don’t have time for him at the moment, he will give you a break. Kona will bloom in a forever home full of love and attention!

Kona is current on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and recently had a dental.  We are not aware of any medical issues.  Kona does have some lumps and bumps that is common for the breed at his age.  Testing has been completed and deemed not necessary to remove any at this time.

REQUIREMENTS for KONA’s NEW HOME:

-Minimum 6-foot privacy fence on your property for Kona – there are no exceptions so please do not attempt to bypass this requirement, please do not apply if you do not meet this requirement because we do a home visit prior to adoption and you are wasting your time.  We have many dogs for adoption that do not require a fenced yard so please, continue your search!

-You must be a Florida resident.  We do not ship or transport dogs to adopters.

-No cats in your home or outside your home.

-To meet Kona, you will need to travel to Leesburg, FL 34788.  If you cannot do that, please look for a rescue dog closer to you.

-Kona has never lived with children, so we are recommending either no children or adult children.  He is almost 80 lbs. so leash walking with a child when a squirrel crosses paths would not be pretty.

-We do not recommend dog parks for any of our adopted dogs.  Kona is no exception.  Play dates at your home or other homes is highly recommended.

If you would like more information on KONA, or to meet Kona, please submit an adoption application and our volunteers will process your application and answer your questions.  www.viprescue.org

Kona’s adoption donation is $250.

Thank you for thinking rescue!  Following are photos of Kona before he was shaved down so you can see what he could look like when his hair has grown back.

Meet Hannah!  

FENCED YARD at RESIDENCE REQUIRED:  NO EXCEPTIONS

Hannah is approximately 2 yrs thought to be Maltese/Shih Tzu blend that will charm your pants off weighing in at 13 lbs.    She came to VIP Rescue with her 1 puppy, she was the perfect mother, and she is preparing to find her own home.

She is very much still a puppy with lots to learn.  Her  new home will have a fenced yard where she can chase squirrels, lizards, play ball, and run like the wind.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  (We have many applications for Hannah but so far no one has the fenced yard she is dreaming of!)    Inside, Hannah needs lots of toys in a basket she can empty multiple times a day and take to her bed – the bigger the better with squeaks please!  It keeps her occupied, and she will gladly play fetch with you and her toys.  She loves to perch herself on top of your sofa and chairs, so she needs to be welcome on your furniture.  She especially like to perch if there is a window she can watch everything going on.  She has not met a stranger, and she does well with like-size dogs so long as they love to play.  However, it does take a day or two for her to warm up to other dogs and engage.  She likes to ride in the car, has learned to ride in the cart at Petsmart, has ridden on the golf cart, and just wants your presence 24×7.  Yet, she is independent and can entertain herself for hours.  She is black with some brown and white markings…….she does not shed.  Her eyes will melt your heart.    She is crate trained, and before coming to rescue she was pee pad trained.  We have worked diligently on her potty training outside, and if we take her out every 2-3 hours, it is a success.  Overnite she will sleep in your bed and have no accidents – for 7-8 hours.  You will need to be disciplined  to continue her house training.  She is very smart, she knows come, sit, NO, and a short stay.  She loves treats and will do anything you ask for a reward!  She aims to please.   She rarely barks unless she needs something,    Hannah requires her new home to have a fenced yard to run and chase squirrels, birds, leaves, play ball, or chase lizards and a home where you are home most of the time.  She has learned to walk on a leash and requires a harness for walks.

Hannah will be spayed this week, and post healing she will be ready for her new home.  She has had all her vaccinations, she is heartworm negative, microchipped, and in excellent health!  We adopt to Florida residents.  Hannah needs frequent brushing and grooming, and is good for grooming except she hates the dryer.   You will need to travel to Leesburg, FL to meet Hannah.  Homes with a fenced yard will take precedence.  A home visit will be a pre-requisite.  Her adoption donation is $400.

ADOPT WALTER

Walter is scheduled to meet a family Dec. 28th to see if it is a match.

Hi Fans! My name is Walter, and all I want for the Holidays is MY OWN HOME. I hope that Santa finds me one. If you know anyone that could find it in their heart to take in a Senior Man – I promise to be a very good boy! Yes, I am a senior boy, I am great on your lap, like to be with you wherever you go, and I snooze a lot. I was found as a stray, I was a hot mess, but my Foster Home has restored my dignity and faith in mankind. I love my Foster Dad! I have adjusted to my new lifestyle quite nicely. But – I am looking for something permanent. I have some arthritis, I have had a dental, and I am current on my vaccinations, and am heartworm negative. I am microchipped and weigh about 8 pounds.  I am fine with other dogs, would likely be fine with cats too. At my age, I am not so interested in other animals or long walks. I am quite vocal when I want something, and will tell you all about it even if you don’t ask! I am quite content sitting cuddling with you, and staying at your side. If you would like to give me a new home for the New Year, please tell Santa where to take me. If you are a senior, please ask VIP Rescue to tell you about our “Seniors for Seniors” Adoption Program.

Dora is a 16 year old tiny poodle weighing in at 4.5 pounds.  Her owner turned her in as a stray, so VIP to the RESCUE!  We have fattened her up, she has had a dental, and her right eye has been repaired.   She has a lot of personality and she loves her person.  She gives kisses generously!  She can be vocal, she is not shy, and she will let you know when she wants something.  She likes her short walks.  She likes sitting in your lap cuddling.  She loves to be carried around and sees little need to walk herself around if you will oblige.  She LOVES snoozing on your lap.

Dory has had all her vaccinations and is heartworm negative.

Dory would do well in a home with other senior calm dogs or no other dogs…….  She has no interest in other animals, her new owner with an empty loving open lap is her only wish.

Dory is in great shape for 16 yrs old!  We realize it takes a special person to take in a senior like Dory, but she will give you unconditional love every moment of every day she has……..and what more could one really ask for?  Dora means, the GIFT, and we hope to find the perfect place for our “GIFT.”

Dora is fostered in Leesburg, FL.  To meet DORA you will need to travel to Leesburg, FL.  No out of state adoptions.

Dora’s adoption donation is $100.

VIP RESCUE – Leesburg, Florida.
 

HI Fans! My name is Calypso, Caly for short. I am 4 years old, I weigh 50 pounds, and I am a super cute silver beige Standard Poodle. I like people, I like other dogs, but I am a little shy at first and it takes awhile for me to settle in. I will fetch my toys, I get poodle zoomies, and I can howl when I want to. I am looking for a home with another dog I can learn from, and to keep me company and play nicely. I need a fenced yard so I can run, romp, and play. I would like to sleep in your bed with you. I have learned a lot since I have been in rescue; my past was secluded and not so nice. So – I have lots to learn but am very smart and am catching on very quickly in my foster home. I will be loyal to the end, and follow you everywhere you go. I like to be in your business all the time.

Suki enjoys frequent walks and has excellent leash manners.  She is housetrained and no crating is needed. However, as with many standard poodles, she will counter surf, destroy toilet paper rolls, and get in the trash if you are not at the top of your game with her.  Suki is well mannered, has mastered basic obedience, and is a very happy girl just waiting for that special person or retirees to come along to complete her life.   She would prefer not to be left at home for 4-6-8 hours at a time.     

Suki came to rescue as her owner went to hospice care.  While she was very loved, her health had been neglected. Suki is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, has recently had a dental, some growths removed, and a gastropexy.  To get Suki on a healthy track, she is on a diet of Primal Dog Food and has lost 12lbs with a few more to go.  She enjoys her walks several times daily and plays in the yard with her foster siblings. She requires frequent brushing and monthly grooming.

MEET MIKEY!

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA

Mikey is a handsome bouncy lean active white 6 yr old Standard Poodle who is available for adoption from his owner in Brevard County, FL.  Due to circumstances beyond the owners control, Mikey is being rehomed.  Mikey weighs 43lbs.   He loves long walks, loves to play ball, he even rolls it back to you with his nose! Mikey gives kisses, is obedience trained, walks great on a lead, and he loves to go go go.  Mikey is a Velcro dog, and just wants to be wherever you are or wherever you go.  He learns quickly, aims to please, has earned his Canine Good Citizen certification, and has been trained in Rally!

Mikey will only be adopted to an active home with no other dogs, as he is dog selective in sharing his home with other animals.  He prefers not to be left at home alone, so he is looking to find someone who works from home, part-time, a retired situation, or where he can go to work with you?  We do not recommend a home with children.  Mikey has a ton of energy, and he never runs out. To keep up with this active boy and give him the exercise that he needs, you will need a minimum of a 5 foot fenced yard with lots of room and time to play ball with him.  Mikey is a very loving, totally devoted, and attentive boy.

Mikey has great manners, he does not counter surf, he is house trained, crate trained, and aims to please.  When meeting new people, Mikey likes to do it on his terms……a slow “let him come to you” approach.  Mikey learns quickly with very gentle positive training and handling – he is fearful of people who are overzealous and engage in rough play upon approach.  In a matter of an hour, Mikey can be your best friend if you play ball with him and he will be begging for your affection.  Mikey would do great in a home that is familiar with rally, agility, and other mentally and physically stimulating activities.

Mikey is not a service dog candidate or therapy dog candidate due to his dog to dog volatility and approach volatility.

Mikey is neutered, current on his vaccinations, current on his preventatives, heartworm negative, microchipped and has a Florida Health Certificate.  Mikey’s adoption fee is $250.  Mikey requires frequent grooming and this should be a consideration when adopting Mikey.  Mikey is in excellent health.

This is a courtesy post for Mikey’s owner.  If you are interested in Mikey, have no other dogs, have a minimum of a 5 foot fenced yard, and have lots of time for Mikey, please complete an adoption application at VIP RESCUE and your application will be forwarded to Mikey’s owner for consideration. A home visit will be required as part of the adoption process to be approved.  Adoption application:  https://viprescue.org/jobs/apply/?j=772

If you have questions about Mikey, please submit an adoption application with your questions.  Florida Residents Only will be considered for adoption.

VIP RESCUE is not responsible or liable for the care or adoption of this animal.  This is a courtesy post only for his owner in Brevard County, FL.

CASPER – ADOPTION PENDING

Casper is a very loving Doodle we think, or quite possibly a Standard Poodle.  He weighs about 60 lbs.  Casper is fostered in Leesburg, FL.  Casper was taken to the shelter and dropped off by a family along with their other dogs to be euthanized.  We have little to no information about his past.  We are guessing him to be an adult.  Casper is bouncy and has endless energy to play!  Since coming to VIP Rescue, Casper has been enjoying life at his new foster home and his tail has not stopped wagging!  He gets along well with other dogs he has met and those he is living with.  He has lots of energy to burn, and he likes to play – jump – and bounce around.  He needs a good sized fenced yard to romp and run, and a home with lots of energy to entertain him outside playing ball, fetching,  running, and leash walking.  He requires quality nutrition – he is being fed raw presently and is thriving.   Casper requires frequent grooming.  He is very sweet, very affectionate, he loves people, he is a velcro dog, and is gentle taking treats.  He knows commands and obeys most of the time.  He is too energetic to live with small children as he might knock them down when stimulated. Casper  walks well on a leash and thoroughly enjoys his walks.  Casper is a counter surfer, however stops when corrected.  He is looking for an active  home where he is not left for 8-10 hours a day.  Preferably Casper would do best with a work from home family or a retiree that is home most of the time.  Casper is crated after he eats to ensure he has ample time to digest his food before playing.  Casper is crated for sleep, and crated when his foster family is not home.  Casper came in with a foot injury and terrible ear infections.  We have made great strides at these healing in his foster home.  Casper is neutered, vaccinated, heart worm negative, and current on his preventatives.  Casper does have a cataract, however, he is able to see well to catch and retrieve balls with no problem.

This boy will be a delight for those who enjoy hiking, running, walking, and playing with their dog.   He wants nothing more than to spend his time with humans……and is full of happy bouncing joy!  He has a big heart, he is a lover, and he loves to put his head in your lap and cuddle with you.  A large fenced yard is a must for this boy.  Help us find Casper to find a home that needs to be filled with a bundle of bouncing joy that needs some love from Casper!

Caspers adoption donation is $250.  If you are interested in Casper, you must complete an adoption application.  Once submitted our volunteers will contact you to determine if Casper might be a match for you.  You must be able to travel to Leesburg to meet Casper.

MEET CHARLIE and TEDDY!

 Their combined adoption donation is $600.

ADOPT WHEAT!

Wheat is a darling Terrier Mix weighing about 12 lbs. thought to be about a year old. He is timid, but loves nothing more than cuddling and sitting on your lap. It takes time and coaxing, but he will give kisses. He came to VIP from a home with too many dogs so he has not had a lot of socialization. However, he is making significant progress at his foster home every day! He is thought to be a Yorkshire Terrier mix – if you look at his family members. He does not appear to shed. Wheat has all his vaccinations, preventatives, is heart worm negative, dewormed, will be microchipped and neutered before he is adopted. He is not accustomed to a leash and we are working on that as well as his potty training.  He is a darling pup and a gentle loving boy. Wheat is very attracted to children and loves them.   Other dogs would be a plus for him to learn from them provided they are mannerly.  He loves to be carried.  His adoption donation is $350.
