Hey hey hey, who do we have here? Why it’s me, lil’ ol’ Macy girl! I’m the sweetest, cutest, littlest 9 yr young Shih Tzu mix gal you’re eva gonna meet! A few weeks ago, a Good Samaritan found me hurt, thinking I’d been hit by a car and brought me to VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group) to get checked out. I had a boo boo on my belly and was favoring my right rear leg. After a thorough exam and X-rays by the “Dog” ter, there were no broken bones and no obvious internal injuries. Once VEG gave me the “all clear”, I was transferred to Animal Services to be placed on a stray hold to give my family time to come find me. Sadly, no family came for me. I was so sad 😢. Then one day this nice lady named “Miss Betsy” (the Director) of VIP Rescue was at animal services picking up another doggie for their “freedom ride”, when she was asked if she had room for one more in her Rescue, me! She came around the corner, and there I stood with my Snoopy stuffie in my mouth. Ms. Betsy smiled and scooped me up for my “freedom ride” to! Yeah! Now that you know my back story, let’s talk about all the good stuff, k?

After a visit to our Vet, I headed home with my foster Mommy for some much needed rest, relaxation and recuperation time from whatever trauma happened upon me, but that’s all in the past. My new life began as soon as I was picked up by Ms. Betsy ❤️

I’m an independent kinda gal who likes to lounge around the house with all these doggie beds, I’m not big on cuddles, well, not yet anyway 😉 I also like to hang in the fenced in yard with my foster siblings (with supervision of course)  One of my favorite things to do is go on a “pack” walk with my foster friends and foster Mom. I get to do all the sniffies I want! Ha! I’m headed back to the “dog”ter for one final good girl visit to clear me for adoption.  Mommy says that’s a very good thing because VIP is going to find me the bestest and safest “fur”ever family! I like the sound of that! I’d prefer an adult only home, one that the human is home more often than not. Oh, don’t forget about keeping me so pretty! (Especially with bows in my hair) I’ll need grooming typically every 6-8 weeks with a cost from $60.00-$120.00 per groom. Please make sure you keep that in mind for your budget! 

I’m fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, had a dental and am on my heartworm and flea prevention as well. I’m ready to roll! Do I sound like the girl for you? I sure hope so. Please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application. I sure hope to meet you soon!

 Licks and tail wags, Macy 🐾

Breed: Bichon

Age:  13 yr young 

Sex: Male

Weight: 14 lb

Color: White

Gets along with dogs:  yes

Gets along with Cats: Unknown 

Kids: Older, but prefers an adult only home

We’d like you to meet Mojo, or better known in his foster home as Moho or Mojito. This darling senior boy is a 13 year Bichon weighing in at just 14 lbs. This sweetheart found himself at Animal Control as a stray through no fault of his own, and hit the Rescue jackpot when we transferred him into our care and is currently in one of our amazing foster homes.  

If you need some new Mojo, he might just be the boy for you! You can even call him Mojito, it doesn’t really matter to him as long as he’s getting lots of human attention. Upon intake, he visited the “dog”ter to have a lumpy lump removed, and was also neutered at the same time. He’s doing very well with both, except for that dang cone that prevents him from using the doggie door properly. He can get out but sometimes he has trouble getting back in, but It doesn’t matter though because someone is always there with him and that dang cone will be gone soon, (yeah!) Then let the good times roll! 

Mojo is a playful boy who enjoys romping with his foster family brothers and sisters and wishes they’d participate more.Ha! He’s 13, but acts like he’s a young 7 yr old!  When they don’t want to play he loves to explore all those neat places out in the yard. (with supervision of course!)There’s so many new and exciting adventures to occupy his time. When he’s not romping with his pals in the yard or snoozing on the couch with the “human”, he enjoys taking walks and does very well on the leash. 

Mojo is full of love to give and would be a great addition to any home, but he’d prefer an adult family, and one who is home more often than not. Please keep in mind the costs to groom him, usually every 6-8 weeks, and this cost can range from $60-$120/per grooming.  

Mojo is neutered, has had a dental, is microchipped, current with his vaccinations and is current on flea and heartworm prevention.

Does he sound like a good fit for you and your home??  If you’re interested in adding this little cutie to your family, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.

11-24-25 – PUPDATE We’d like you to read our sweet Dixie’s update. As she becomes more comfortable and familiar with her new surroundings in her foster home, her true personality is coming out and she is absolutely adorable! She has become an expert Lizard chaser as she can find them anywhere. She perks up as soon as she spies one and the chase is on or even hide and seek is fun to. We discovered Dixie’s playful drive at the Dogtoberfest held last weekend in Dunedin. Our tent location was facing the Lure course (flag on a remote control line and the dogs are stimulated chasing it) Yes Dixie most certainly had her turn and boy did she love it. She completed one entire circuit around the course. You go girl! Ha! As you can see, our darling lizard chasing lure coursing girl most certainly will enjoy an active household, and maybe one that will get her involved in some type of agility? We bet she’d love it!

Dixie is still in search of her “Fur”ever home. If you are ready to welcome this sweet active girl into your heart and home, please visit our website VIPRescue.org to review her complete bio, and if you think you’d be the perfect fit for her, please fill out an adoption application as we’re sure Dixie would love to be settled in her new home for the Holidays!

11-13-25 Well hello there! I’m Dixie, a 7 year old 16lb Pommy mix girl! My human became ill and could no longer take care of me, and surrendered me to VIP Rescue. As soon as I got here, I went straight to the “dogtor” for a complete check up as I had never been to a place like that before. Thank goodness all is well and I’m ready to find my new human to share my life with! My ideal new place would a quieter, active adult home, no kids please, with someone who is home most of the time, either a retiree or maybe an adult who works from home. 

Foster Mom has other littles in the house, I like them, but I could also be your one and only and you can spoil me rotten. I get all kinds of excited when I hear Mom gathering the leashes for a walk, I really like that, cuz I get to do all the “sniffies” in the neighborhood and boy, do I like those! I’m working on “housebreaking” training, (whatever 🙃 lol) and am currently tinkle pad trained. I’m learning to go outside when we go on those awesome walks with foster Mom. Since I’m so cute and fluffy, keep in mind that I will need regular grooming appointments which can run anywhere from $60.00 and up each time, so please prepare that in your budget cuz that’s really important for me to have done. 

I’m spayed, current on my vaccines, had a recent dental, am microchipped and on flea and heartworm prevention as well. If you’re interested in me or in both me and my friend Daisy, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application. Hope to meet you soon!

Dog Name: Daisy/Redington

Beach DOB: 11/12/2018 (approx)

DOG BREED: Maltese mix

DOG WEIGHT: 8.2lbs

GENDER: Female

HOUSE TRAINED: PeePad trained working on leash walks

LOCATION: Redington Beach, FL

GOOD WITH DOGS: Yes, similar size. No large dogs

GOOD WITH KIDS: Not recommended

GOOD WITH CATS: Not recommend

COLOR: White

FENCED YARD: Recommended, she is very nervous on the leash, Not required(with an experienced handler), but if you have one, because she’s so tiny, she will need supervision when in yard at all times.

**We will verify ALL information on your application, any incomplete applications will be closed**

Everybody say ahhhhhh….. Why it’s sweet sweet Daisy, an 8.2lb 7 year old cutie pie! Little Miss Daisy has had a challenging life, being crated most of the time with limited socialization and human contact. Sadly, her human became ill, and was no longer able to care for her and she was surrendered to VIP Rescue.

Unfortunately, we were also told she had never been to the Vet for any care, so of course the very first thing we did was take her to our Vet for a full work up. Thank goodness all is well with her.

Daisy has been doing well in her foster home, but was quite nervous at first, especially with the outside environment, but seems to be settling in. She is learning to trust foster Mom, and has started to show some curiosity with things inside and outside of the home. Leash walking is a bit of a challenge, (remember she lived in a crate and didn’t go outside) the first few days she was scared of the leash and would “pancake” on the ground when leashed, so foster Mom put her in a “sling” and carried her around. Daisy seemed to like that, her little nose was just a twitching with all the sniffies in the air….too cute…After a couple of days of being carried and catered to, she showed some interest in walking with the pack, and is slowly becoming a “pro” at leash walking! She does stop frequently to “smell the roses” and really likes her walks now. You go girl!

She is indifferent with the other pups in the foster home, so she could either be your one and only or with another established pup her size.

The ideal home for Daisy is a quieter adult only home with someone who is definitely home more often than not, ideally a retiree or an adult that works from home. With a secure fenced yard attached to the home. She is a sweetie, but will need time and patience to continue building her confidence and trust in her humans. Also something to keep in mind is that she will require regular grooming which can run anywhere from $60.00 and up for each session, so please be prepared in your budget for that very important expense.

Daisy has been spayed, had a recent dental, is current on her vaccines and also on her monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Might she be the gal for you? If so, please visit www.viprescue.org and fill out an adoption application!

Willow / Myakka City

Available for adoption

www.VIPRESCUE.org

Breed: Standard Poodle

Age: 2.5 yr DOB 1-13-2023

Sex: Female

Weight: 50 lb

Color: White

Gets along with DOGS: Yes

Gets along with Cats: No

Kids: Respectful 10+ with dog experience

Fenced Yard: Yes, 5 ft or higher secured fenced in yard is required Meet Willow, a super friendly, 2 1/2 year old 50lb. girl that acts like your typical 2 year old standard poodle, active and on the go!

Her ideal home would consist of active adults who can commit to several walks or a run, and games at least a couple times a day. We think Willow could do great at something like FastCat ( a timed 100 yard dash for dogs where they chase a lure down a straight course) or agility. We recommend that there be no young children under 10 years, tiny dogs under 20 ponds, or cats in the home because littles move quickly and startle her, and she’s also not aware of her size and can play a little rough. She’d love a committed family who is able to do more training with her. She is smart as a whip and has a ton of potential. Although friendly, she is a little skittish at first but does warm up and it will take a couple of days for her to get used to her new family and surroundings, so Willow’s new home must have the time and patience with her.

Willow is great on a leash, and is always up for adventures. She has been taken to busy activities and does well. She also does well with other dogs medium size and larger. She’s doing well with training and knows sit, stay, come, fetch, hoop (jump through) and again, would benefit with some additional training both mentally and physically to help burn off some of her high energy. She loves to play outside, she gets the zoomies and loves to play with and in water. Willow’s new home is required to have at least a 6ft or higher secured fenced in yard, sorry, there are no exceptions, because this is what she needs due to her energy level and safety. Willow is very playful, however she does get fearful with strangers at first (barks and backs away) until she feels comfortable.

One more thing to consider if you’re interested in adopting this fabulous gal, is the cost of grooming. She’ll require regular Grooming, which can be costly, so please keep that in mind as part of your budget. Willow is completely housebroken, spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and is on heartworm and flea prevention as well.

So, what do you think? Do you have the time, patience and energy to keep up with our amazing Willow? If you’d like to add her to your family, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.
