This is Pebbles and is thought to be a Yorkie mix although you could have fooled me. Whatever she is, she’s just plain cute. This little darling weighs about 11 pounds and appears to be a voracious eater. At 2 years old she’s very active once she gets over her initial shyness around new people. She even learned the dog doors in her first hour at her new foster home; now that’s smart!
She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and on heartworm/flea preventative.
To adopt Pebbles just fill out on online application at viprescue.org.

Bolo/Redington Beach
Charlie – Seminole
Are you a “couch spud” looking for a “couch bud”? Are you home more than you’re not? If so, then Charlie is your man! This 11 year old, 13 lb, mini poodle was turned in to VIP Rescue when his owner passed away. His favorite leisure activities include napping on the couch, short leash walks, following his human, and sleeping in the big bed at night where he will stay comfy all night through. He also enjoys car rides and looking out the window and he loves bringing you his squeaky toy to play! His limited sight does not hold him back (he is blind in his left eye due to a dog attack when he was just a pup). Charlie is housebroken and this smart boy even knows how to use a doggy door! He has had a dental (a few years back he had 14 teeth extracted but does fine with his dry food). He is fine with other small dogs and would most likely be fine with cats, but mostly he just wants to be with his people. He is neutered, up to date on his vaccines, microchipped, on heartworm and flea preventative and ready for a forever home. If this little guy sounds like a good match for you, please complete an application at www.VIPRescue.org.
Calli/Citrus Park
Hi! My name is Calli and my foster dads say I am just the cutest, sweetest little cuddle bug. My life hasn’t been too great until now. I came from a breeder in Alabama, but I’m retired now and ready to relax and be spoiled the rest of my life. Unfortunately my doctor says I have an enlarged heart with a severe heart murmur that will require medicine the rest of my life. He also says he doesn’t know how much time I have… so I’m looking for a hospice adopter who wants to spoil me while they can.
I get along great with my sister pups and cat brother however I am so small
(5..9 lbs) that my family needs no other pet or only small ones. I’m working on house training and have been going on the towels in my pen or on pee pads when I’m let out on the porch.
I love to hang out on the couch next to you or in your lap and I love to sleep in my dad’s soft bed at night.
Due to my size and skittish nature it is not suggested that I am walked outside or let outside on my own. I’d prefer to be an inside only dog with no children and someone who works from home or has lots of time to spoil me.
Up to date on vaccines, recent dental, spayed, microchipped and on heart worm prevention.
If you are interested in adopting Calli you must submit an application at viprescue.org.
Maddie/Holiday
Maddie is a darling 12 year young Mini Dapple Dachshund who loves to curl up in her bed and take afternoon naps as well as hang out on the couch and cuddle. She has had 2 back surgeries and comes with her own set of steps for easy access to the couch or bed. Maddie needs a home with minimal or no steps. She will allow you to carry her up and down steps, however, if you go without her, she will follow and we don’t want any more back surgeries. She is content sleeping on a blanket on the couch or cuddling in bed under the covers with her human. She loves short walks on the leash and if taken out frequently, will do all her business outside. Maddie is also pee-pad trained. She gets along with other small dogs as well as cats and she loves car rides and meeting new people. She has spent the last year and a half in an assisted living facility with her human and easily made many friends. Unfortunately, her human is now in a full memory ward and can no longer keep her.
Maddie is 12 pounds, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, had a fresh dental and is on heartworm prevention. To welcome Maddie into your home and heart you must submit an application at viprescue.org
Molly / Holiday
Emmy/Seminole
Greetings from Emmy! This 3 year old, 16 lb. terrier mix is looking for her forever family! The ideal candidate should be active and must have a fenced yard and be ready for play time!
Emmy is a spunky girl look who loves to be around people. She is very shy at first and learning that humans can be good. She will take a few days to warm up to new people and make the first move, but once made, she will be your shadow. She loves to play catch and loves her toys! She is learning about potty training and is doing quite well. Her leash skills are coming along but she will definitely need a secure fenced yard in the mean time. She would love to have another active canine play mate! No toddlers, please.
If you are patient and willing to give Emmy the time she needs to decompress and accept your love, she will return it ten fold!
Emmy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, micro chipped and on flea/heart worm preventative.
Lincoln/Seminole
Lincoln is a terrier mix and is approximately 3 years old. He weighs in at about 21 lbs.
Lincoln came from a hoarding situation and is currently learning how to be a dog and is working on potty training and doing quite well. Lincoln’s forever home must have a fenced yard as he is still learning about the leash. He will take some time to warm up to his new human(s) and will need someone with patience that allows him to make the first move. Once he accepts you, he will welcome your love, ear rubs and back scratches. He would do very well with another confident dog in the home to teach him the ropes and to build his own confidence, as he is more submissive. No toddlers please.
He is current on vaccines, micro chipped, neutered, and on heart worm/flea preventative.
Please complete an application to be considered for Lincoln, at www.viprescue.org
Rufus/Largo
We are happy to introduce you to Rufus. He is quite the character. A 3 year old terrier mix, weighing in at 28.5 pounds, he is all boy! Running and playing with Ryder are his favorite things in the world, along with eating. Rufus loves, loves, loves to play catch. He also looks forward to breakfast and dinner.
Rufus came from a hoarding situation so he is learning to trust humans. Once he understands that his humans come with toys and food, he lets his guard down a little more each day. Rufus should be in an active home and plays well with other dogs. A fenced yard is a must for Rufus. Another dog to play with is highly recommended for this active pup. If you are seeking a dog that wants to be in constant motion, Rufus might just be what you have been looking for. We are working on leash and potty training.
Rufus is up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped and on heart worm/flea preventative. To apply for Rufus, please complete an application at www.viprescue.org
Ryder/Largo
Eat, love, and play. That sums up Ryder’s life philosophy. He is a 3 year old Terrier mix weighing in at 28.5 pounds.
Ryder spends his days playing with Rufus, while learning the ins and outs of living a dog’s life in a home. He is cautiously curious about humans and family life. It will take a few days for him to warm up to a human, but once he does, love is tops on his menu.
Ryder enjoys playing catch and belly rubs. We are working on leash and potty training. Ryder should be in an active home with a fenced yard. He plays well with other active dogs. Another dog to play with is highly recommended for this active pup.
If you are willing to put the time into Ryder’s training and acclamation to family life, he will be a great addition to your family.
Ryder is up to date on vaccines, neutered, micro-chipped and on heart worm flea preventative. Please complete an application at www.viprescue.org to be considered for Ryder.
Remi/Holiday
Remi is a terrier mix of approximately 22 lbs and about 5 years. He came from a hoarding situation and is learning how to be a dog which means he is just now learning about potty-training too! All the current terrier mixes are very fearful of new people and will take time and patience. They will need a home with a fenced yard as they are not leash trained. No small children please. Remi is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and on heart worm/flea preventative. Please complete an application at www.viprescue.org to be considered for Remi.
Lore/Indian Rocks
Lore is a terrier mix of approximately 26 lbs and about 3 years. He came from a hoarding situation and is learning how to be a dog which means he is just now learning about potty-training and leash walks and are doing great! No small children please. Lore is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and on heart worm/flea preventative. Please complete an application at www.viprescue.org to be considered for Lore.
Layla/Seminole
Layla is a sweet 8 lb. Yorkie mix, approximately 3 years old. She was very neglected in her previous home and came to us with ear infections, a skin infection, and quite underweight. She is bouncing back beautifully, as you can see, and hopes to weigh in at about 10-11 lbs very soon!
Layla is the ULTIMATE velcro-lap, companion dog. She does NOT like to be left alone and is working through her separation anxiety. For this reason, Layla will need to be with someone that is home most of the time and in a single-family home because she has quite a loud howl when alone and condo neighbors probably would not like that! She travels well, so she would also be a great travel companion! She is fine with other dogs and would probably be ok with cats too. Older children would be ok, no toddlers please.
Layla is an expert in lap ornamentation, and curling up in the human bed at night to keep you company. Where ever her peeps are, she wants/needs to be.
Layla is housetrained, enjoys leash walks, and is an extremely affectionate little girl who will quickly become your best friend and give you kisses.
Layla is up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and on heartworm/flea preventative. Please complete an application at www.viprescue.org if you would like to be considered for adopting this darling girl.
Diva/Largo
Dexter
Dexter is an 11 year old male Min Pin whose owner had to surrender him due to personal circumstances. He has limited sight and limited hearing, although he is inquisitive. He loves to spend time on the couch with his owner, and would be the perfect lap dog for someone retired. He gets along with other dogs; we have no knowledge if he gets along with cats but suspect he would.. He is not housebroken and needs help getting outside. Living on ground level would be better as he could likely learn dog doors.He has had a dental, was neutered, and is current on his shots. He is heartworm negative. To welcome Dexter into your heart and home, please complete an application on our website at www.viprescue.org
Winnie/Seminole
Seminole, FL
Meet Winnie, a sweet, 10 year old Coton de Tulear. Winnie has lived most of her years in a puppy mill and sadly never received the love and attention from humans that all dogs deserve! For the past 2-1/2 years she has been in a private home and was surrendered due to no fault of her own. Sadly, sometimes life just happens.
Winnie can be very timid around new people and surroundings but will slowly come around if allowed to progress at her own pace. Her former owner says she loves to snuggle in blankets and clothes, and will sometimes want to be picked up to enjoy some petting. She walks well wearing a harness and enjoys car rides and going to the groomer. She’s fine with small dogs (and cats), but might also enjoy being an only dog so that she could have all of the attention. An adult only home is recommended.
Winnie had a recent dental and was only able to keep a few of her teeth so she may need a diet of soft food. She is accustomed to having access to a doggy door and will go outside to do her business if there is one. She is also an escape artist and needs a home with a VERY SECURE FENCED YARD.
Winnie is up to date on vaccines, spayed, micro-chipped, and on heart worm/flea preventative. Please complete an application to welcome this deserving girl into your heart and home.
Seminole Pistol
Bellair
Pistol is a gorgeous mix of Yorkie and maybe Westie, but a terrier none the less. Sweet boy that get’s along with his foster pack ok but would not mind being your one and only. He is approximately 9 years young and that is the truth. He has a beautiful prance while walking. He’s housebroken, good on a leash, but hasn’t been kid tested yet. He is up to date on all his shots, had a dental and lost quite a few teeth and has been neutered. He is on HW prevention. He was surrendered when his mommy had some health issues and could no longer care for him, so please be patient as he adjusts to his new life, a new world for him. His coat is stunning and he truly is a sweetheart. If you are interested in making Pistol part of your family you must submit an application at www.viprescue.org.
Bailey/Seminole
Say hello to Bailey! She is a playful 6 month old Jack Russell mix puppy. She is a happy, affectionate girl and she is current on age appropriate shots, spayed, micro chipped and on heart worm/flea prevention.
Puppies are so adorable. If you are ready for a bouncy, high energy, puppy … this one is for you!! Bailey won’t get much larger, but she may fill in a bit. She is currently under 15 pounds. She is working on potty training and leash training.
Puppies are a lot of fun and a lot of work . Puppies bring life to a home, and a lot of work! Did I say a lot of work ?
They require a lot of attention, time and human agility!! As you guide them to become a well mannered social companion pet, plan on teaching yourself how to teach them to be a great companion friend! In exchange, they will teach you some valuable lessons, such as…
Put your shoes away .
Close all doors, gates and toilet lids .
Phone charging wires are expensive to replace.
You aren’t as young as you think.
You aren’t as quick as you think.
You aren’t as smart as you think.
Look before you step.
Training isn’t as simple as you remember.
….just sayin’ !!
You need to be prepared for two years of you being agile, quick to your feet, and very very patient when you react . Jack Russell’s are full of energy, bounce and play and I’m sure Bailey will be no exception!
If you are willing and able to accept this challenge, and welcome her into your home and heart, you must complete an application at viprescue.org.

Brie
Hi! My name is Brie and I am a super relaxed, easy going little girl. I love to lie with my foster dads to watch TV and I’ve been a good nurse maid taking care of my foster dad this week while he’s been sick. I love to lie under the covers and just chill with him. I get along well with my foster dog sisters and brother cat. I haven’t shown any issues with either.
I walk well on a leash and I love to be outside walking. I’m house trained and go outside as well as on the papers in the house. If my people had a nice fenced yard where I could hang outside, that would be a bonus.
I’m also going to be OK if my new family has school age children to play with.
I’m spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, and on heart worm/flea preventative. I also had a dental!
Please complete an application at viprescue.org to welcome me into your heart and home!
Ally/Citrus Park
Hi! My name is Ally (’cause I’m from Bama). I’m thought to be a dachshund mix and was surrendered by my previous owner. I’m currently 15.8 lbs and I need to go on a diet! My doctor thinks I should be closer to 11-12 lbs. They think I’m a youngster of 5 years. Not much is known about my past, but my foster dads say I’m a super sweet girl who loves to be with her humans to get scratches and give kisses. I get along with my sister dogs and my brother cat.
I’m learning to walk on a leash with a harness. It takes a little effort to get me to wear it, but I’m OK once I’m outside.
I like just laying around next to my human, but I also like playing and running around outside so a fenced yard would be best so I can do zoomies without having to worry about the leash all the time.
I’m working on potty training, but so far seem to be OK on my pee pads.
I’m spayed, up-to-date on my shots, had a recent dental, am micro chipped, and on flea/heart worm preventative. If you think you would be a good match for me, please complete an application at viprescue.org

Sam/Clearwater
Sam is thought to be around 8 years young and all of 14 lbs .He falls into that very special breed , called designer some thing . Not sure if he was designed to look like Rod Steward or Phyllis Diller but either way , he sings a sweet tune and will make you laugh !
He arrived with 3 other from a hoarder and he has proved to know things about a house hold . He tunes right in to the beep of a microwave , the sound of the frig opening and just exactly what energy is needed to jump on a couch .
Surprisingly , he has very good house training manners and will tuck himself away in an open crate for night time .He can be a real pest when it comes to a female dog in the house .He will basically ignore any of the male dogs in the house . He is not up to speed on leash walking , but has proven to be a real dog in the squirrel chase and bark category .
Sam is neutered , current on shots , micro chipped , had a dental and is on hearworm prevention . .
He is shy when you meet him takes a little time in warming up but is certainly worth the investment in time you would need to invest in making him a great companion pet !
Submit your application please !

Betty Jo/Seminole
Hi, my name Betty Jo. I recently came into VIP Rescue and I am looking for my new home soon! I am very smart and I love to be outside. I a, thought to be a street dog, my rescuers think I have never had an indoor home. Now that I know what this is I love it. I recently learned how to walk on a leash, and I love that too. I prefer to do by business on the leash. I love to explore my fenced backyard.
I am potty trained, I need my new home to offer lots of love and patience. I prefer a home with a fenced yard, as I mentioned I love to be outside. I’m good with other dogs, I’m not picky about age or size. If I had a furry sibling that would probably be good thing I like to play with my foster brother, although he isn’t much interested in me. I am not cat tested, however I do have a prey drive, and love to look for squirrels and birds while I’m on my leash walks. And if given the chance I will chase them.
I am eagerly looking for my perfect forever person or family to call my very own! A meet and greet will be required.
Betty Jo is thought to be approximately 3 years old and weighs 17 lbs. I am most likely a terrier mix. I am spayed, current on my shots, microchipped, and on flea and heartworm prevention. I am heartworm positive. This means I have to take things easy for a while. I also must go see my doctor to get treatments…. so you have to be available to take me to these date sensitive appointments in Palm Harbor. My new family must be in Pinellas, West Pasco or NW Hillsborough. We are accepting applications from experienced pet parents with a fenced yard. Please submit your application to VIPRescue.org. And please share this post to help Betty Jo find her forever home.

Stewie/Seminole
As Stewie continues to feel comfortable in his surroundings, he continues to be a very affectionate and playful little boy. He loves to be with his person, all the time! He is slow to warm up and is very protective of his foster mom and current space .
He feels so much love for his person, he does not like it at all if another furry friend is anywhere near his person. I guess he never learned to share. For this reason, it has been determined that Stewie will need to be your one and only. He will adorn your lap and shower you with kisses and be your best buddy! He will also alert you with his voice to any new noise or person, so if you believe silence is golden, then Stewie is not your boy! But if you are looking for a one and only and have a calm and quiet, adult home,then Stewie may be your boy!
This frisky 2 year old, 13 lb Bichon/poodle mix is ready for love! Although he does like to play with other small dogs, he doesn’t like to share his person with them. He is not cat tested. He would like an adult home or home with older children. He likes leash walks, couch cuddles, and bed snuggles. He is also crate trained. He’s learning about toys, play, and how to be a dog. With a little patience and time, Stewie will be a loving companion for years to come. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and on heartworm/flea prevention.
If you are interested in adopting this sweet little guy, please submit your application!

Spot/Indian Rocks Beach
Hellooo friends! My name is Spot. I came into VIP Rescue on my freedom ride just before Christmas. Having a grand ole jolly time here in my foster home, but now it is time for me to find my forever home, soooooo friends … let me tell you a little bit about myself.
First off, I am fantastic on a leash!! I absolutely love being outdoors, I don’t pull, and truth be told, I’m a bit overweight so I could use the exercise. Although I would like a fenced in yard, it’s not required, and in fact, due to my size, I would probably be a good fit for a condo or apartment dwelling family as well. I am sturdy, handsome and confident. Friendly and appropriately social with other dogs. The others around me influence my play mood. I am a playful dog at times, but during chill time, I can couch potato with the best of the pack! I haven’t been tested with kids, but all indications are we would be lifelong buddies. Foster mom says I’ll probably meet some in the next few days so watch the comments for an update about that and any other things that might come to mind between now and the time my application for adoption closes.
Spot is thought to be a terrier mix. He is a chubby 26 lbs and about 3 years young . He is current on his shots, micro chipped neutered on heartworm prevention and had a dental .
Interested in meeting me? Don’t hesitate, I’m ready to go!!! Apply now @viprescue.org
Mia/Seminole
Cierra/Redington Beach ADOPTION PENDING
Hi everyone in rescue land. I’m Cierra…I made my way from Louisiana to VIPRescue in Florida. I’m looking for my furever home. I made it just in time to be out of the shelter for Christmas and the end of 2020. 2021 is looking better and better and I am interviewing for my furever human(s). I am thought to be a Portuguese Podengo mix. That is a big name for a happy little girl. I love cuddles, walks, being on your lap, playing, eating, did I mention I love being close to my human. I would be good as an only dog in a home or with other human or furry siblings, I am not cat tested, however I do have a prey drive and love to stalk squirrels. I am about 2 years old, 9.8 lbs, spayed, up-to-date on my shots and micro chipped.
I am potty trained as well.
To welcome me into your home. Please complete an application at viprescue.org.
Amelia/Redington Beach
Amelia update!
Meet adorable, sweet, adoptable Amelia!! Amelia is thought to be approximately 3 years old and weighs 28 lbs. She is most likely a terrier mix
When Amelia arrived at VIP Rescue, she was emotionally broken and heart worm positive. Since her arrival, Amelia has spent her time with a couple of different experienced VIP fosters. She has completed her heart worm treatment like a champ and no further restrictions or requirements are needed except regular monthly preventative, so YAY!!!!
Amelia is learning doggy confidence, human trust, touch and affection, exposure to inside/outside life noises and stimuli, and small changes within her known space. She has made amazing progress and her confidence continues to grow! She exhibits a willingness and desire to expand her horizons and has made great strides in learning how to be a dog and a household pet. It is truly a beautiful thing to be part of her story.
Amelia is still very shy, especially with new experiences and people. We believe that once she finds her forever home, she will settle in very nicely if given time, patience, love, and a welcoming, calm, consistent environment. That is clearly what we have experienced in our VIP foster homes and while we are honored she has learned to love and trust us, it is time for us to keep our bigger promise to her and expand her world. She is ready. Are you?
Amelia is excellent with other social/friendly dogs and has been around many during her time with VIP. She likes her personal space, but as long as others respect that, she will quickly initiate doggy intros. We believe that Amelia would greatly benefit from having another confident dog in the home (or close knit extended family type structure). A meet and greet will be required.
Amelia seeks experienced dog owners who are easy going, patient, soft footed/soft spoken, have a quiet lifestyle, and who are willing to continue to grow her amazing soul. She is not suited for a home with small children, nor one that hosts a lot of guests/teens/parties. A fenced-in yard is also required.
Amelia is spayed, current on her vaccinations, micro chipped, and on flea and heart worm prevention.
Please submit an application to VIPRescue.org if you meet the above stated requirements and would like to welcome Amelia into your home.

Cypher/Citrus Park
Hi! My name is Cypher. They think I’m a red and white terrier/chi mix. I weigh about 3 years and 10 lbs I am spayed , current on my shots, micro chipped and on heartworm and flea prevention.
I am really, really shy. I don’t think I’ve ever had people who cared for me and it takes a while to get comfortable to my human touching me. I also don’t like to be out in the open and big spaces scare me. If you sit me next to you in the chair I relax and quit shaking, but I’m going to take a while to feel comfortable around my humans.
I don’t do the leash yet. When I went out on it I just froze and started shaking. I will need help learning to trust being out and walking and I’ll need help with potty training. So far I’ve stayed in my safe pen so I’ve used my towels for this.
I really seem curious about all the new things in my world I’m seeing. If you’ll be patient with me I think I’ll be a good companion. No kids and someone who has lots of time for me would be best. |
To welcome Cypher to your heart and home , you must submit an application .
