Soffie is thought to be a 5 year old, Female Shih Tzu weighing about 18 lbs. Spayed and vaccines all up to date – HW negative and micro-chipped!! Soffie came to us as a mess of hair and fleas!!! But after some loving and grooming she has become the princess we all knew she was. She has beautiful hazel eyes and a cute curly tail!
She is quite independent and will go lay down or sun by a window until you come give her attention. She loves to follow you and see what you are doing. She also loves to play and run around. She is very vocal while playing, wanting some attention, and when others first come in your home. She is quick to quiet down and loves all human friends!!! She is currently fostered in a home with teenagers and loves them all the same!! Soffie is an easy lap dog — just wants you to show her some attention and take her for walks. She currently uses a harness and enjoys long walks. Just be careful in the heat…she has lots of hair keeping her warm! She is a long haired dog (non-shedding) so she requires timely bathing and grooming. She does have allergies to fleas, so keeping up with grooming and flea prevention is critical.
Soffie is excited by other dogs and just wants to play. Although she is shy at first, she is quick to warm up and get to play time!!!
She is fostered in Orlando – Adoption fee is $225.00.
VIP Rescue is helping Walton County with an intake of 66 small poodlish/maltese-ish/shih tzu-ish breeder dogs after they shut down YET one more puppy mill. We are begging for your assistance in fostering, maybe your first one, or committing to a week or two, while we get a handle on things. Can you take one or two more if you already have a foster or two? Do you know Anyone that can foster?? Even short term? VIP Rescue pays for all the pets medical needs, and you supply the love!
Please submit a Foster/Volunteer application on our web site right away and one of our volunteers will contact you:
Foster parents will provide a clean, nurturing, indoor home for the dog; bring the animal to the designated veterinarian, groomer or other needed services. Foster parents ensure each animal receives proper medical and other routine treatments as prescribed, giving medication as needed (we teach the inexperienced!), and bring the dog to VIPR adoption events held at pet stores and local venues.
No. We hold regularly scheduled events at local pet events where prospective adopters can come and meet our dogs. Our screening process includes a written application, an interview with an adoption counselor, a vet check, and sometimes a home check.
VIP Rescue is responsible for caring for your foster animals when you need to go out of town or during an emergency and when you are unable to care for your foster dog. It is important to schedule this ahead when known with your foster coordinator. If an unexpected event occurs, your foster coordinator will work with you to find another foster to take the VIPR animals.
We prefer that you commit to fostering your animal until an adoptive home can be found. Unfortunately, we cannot predict how long this will take. It depends on the animal’s breed, age, temperament, as well as how proactive you are about marketing your foster animal and attending adoption events. If you can only foster for a specific period of time, please be certain to indicate this up front to the VIPR Foster coordinator you are working with.
As you signed in the Foster Agreement, vet care for foster animals must be provided by an approved VIPR Vet. All vetting is paid for by VIPR. If a visit is deemed necessary and it is a non-emergency issue, simply contact a Foster Coordinator to make an appointment. You are then responsible for taking the animal to the vet. If your schedule does not permit, your VIPR Foster Coordinator will find another VIPR volunteer to take the dog.
VIPR will make every effort to ensure a good and safe foster match. However, there are times when this will fail. In this case, contact your VIPR Foster Coordinator as soon as possible. Many times, problems can be solved by trying a few new things and/or by giving the animal time to adjust to your home. We may also have a trainer work with you. Other times, an animal may simply not be a good fit for your home or lifestyle. VIPR never wants to put the safety of the Foster Volunteer or others at risk.

The silly people at the shelter gave me that name, but my foster mom calls me Billy and I really like that. I’m thought to be a Maltese/Poodle mix. I’m 6 years old and weigh in at a mere 8 pounds. I am walking well on my leash, I don’t mind being crated and I am a champ when it comes to my house training. I am very polite with all people, but due to my small stature, I’d like to go to a home without tiny children or gigantic dogs (unless they’re respectful of me). I love to snuggle and be petted, plus I give soft kisses. I’m truly a sweet, gentle soul. Would you consider giving me my own “forever home?”

He’s a male Toy Poodle (okay maybe teacup) only 3.5 lbs and about 7 years – loves to cuddle and be held. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines . Heartworm negative and flea free. Micro-chipped and just had a dental. Best suited for a retired person as he is very clingy and needs at the very least to see that you are there at all times; needs stay-at-home parents. He will follow you around wherever you go and many times he gets right between your legs. He finds it great fun to be chased around the house. He is very quiet, rarely barks and lays on your lap for hours. He definitely needs someone who will let him sleep with him or he will whine all night. I have him trained to go on the potty pad to pee. He has to have his food pureed and very watery or it seems like he can’t pick it up with his mouth. His real name should be Prancer because he runs like a little baby fawn. Too sweet.

Hi Evwy Buddy! My name is Pebbles, I am 3-4 yrs old, 11 lbs and I am one sweet, lovin, snugglebug of a Shih-Tzu! I love to lay in your lap and snuggle. I give kisses and love my belly wubs! I am spayed, up to date on my shots and on Trifexis for fleas and heartworm. I am good with kids, cats, and dogs. I was given up cause my “famly” didn’t have time for me anymore. I am crate trained and will sleep good in there. I don’t like it, but my foster mom says I have to sleep there cause at night I may have an accident in the house. I am doing well on my potty training and like to go out about evwy 4 hrs. I am a vewy good eater too! Please consider giving me my Furever home! I Love my foster mom, but if I stay here she can’t help another doggie!
We have a winner! Tracy is a love! 3 years old, spayed, female Shih Tzu, under 10 lbs!! She is a wonderful dog. So solemn and serious, but just a good girl – house-trained and well-mannered – all ready for a home of her own. Up to date on vaccines and micro-chipped. No fleas or worms on me – all good to go!!
She loves to go on walks and just starts her legs moving and goes. She will stop for a potty break and then keep moving. We could walk for hours if left up to her but she is completely agreeable to turning around and heading back home at some point. She was not interested in eating at first, perhaps a bit overwhelmed with everything. But she has had some chicken and now she is eating like a champ. She is quiet in her crate at night and opts to stay in there even though she could wander all over the house.
She will sit on the couch and just watch what is going on in the house with solemn eyes. Vacuum cleaners and hair dryers do not phase her. She is so grateful for A/C, a soft bed and two squares a day that she is determined not to let anything mess it up.
Fostered in Oviedo – adoption fee is $250.00.
