Say hello to Opal!  If you’ve been waiting for a super snuggler, Opal may just be your girl!  She is the absolute sweetest little girl!  Opal is a healthy, happy, 8 yr old (approx.) shihtzu mix who loves everyone!  She is a quiet and content girl whose favorite things include cuddles and lap time, play time (with people or other small dogs), and short walks. 

Opal weighs in at about 10 lbs, with an ideal weight of 12 lbs.  She is  potty trained as long as she gets out every few hours or so.   Opal would do fine as your one and only, but would also do well with a small furry companion.  She would not do well being alone a lot as she thrives on human companionship, a work from home person or where someone is home more often than not.   

Opal is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, microchipped and current on her heart worm/flea medications.

Age: 5 mo DOB 10-07-24

Meet Squish, can you believe that little face? Melts your heart, right? Squish is now a healthy and happy 5 month old little boy who weighs in at a whopping 7.5 lbs.!!!! We think his adult weight could be up to 15-25 lbs, but please note, that is not a guarantee of weight. Squish is a happy puppy who loves to play with the other pups in his foster home and of course, like any puppy, likes to chew on things. He picks up anything and everything that is in front of him, so he will need age appropriate puppy chew toys and a quick human to take rocks, twigs and anything he wants to taste, other than food, away from him. HA! After playtime, he will settle down in a soft puppy bed or lap to relax. Please remember, puppies require ALOT of time, patience and consistency, especially in potty training. (He has been working on pee pad training) and loves leash walks. Also, don’t forget, they can be “curious” so you’ll need to puppy proof your home for his safety. He will need a home with watchful eyes to make sure he doesn’t get into things he is not supposed to. A work from home family, or one who only works away from the home for just a few hours a day will be given preference.

Squish would love a family that will continue to show him all the good things that life has to offer. Since he is still a puppy, If there are children in the home, it is recommended that they be 10+ and small dog experienced. He is fast and so small he darts and can get under feet quickly and sometimes unnoticed. He will need to be in a home where his people are agile and very alert to keep an eye out for him. He is looking for a home ideally with another dog for him to play with and learn from, a similar sized dog under 25 lbs, and please, no big doggies in his new home.

Squish has been neutered, is current on his age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and started on his heartworm prevention and flea prevention.

Hi there everyone! I’m Lola, a very sweet 8 year old Pug-Beagle mix gal. First, let me apologize as I’m a bit overweight, but am working real hard to lose those excess pounds. My foster parents have me on a low calorie diet, and while I’m not crazy about it because it’s so different than the human food I’m used to eating, I am coping with the change and have already lost a few pounds! Yeah me!!

I came to VIP Rescue after I was taken in by Animal Control after my human passed away.

I had a couple lumpy bump that needed to be surgically removed, along with a fresh dental and my friends here at VIP took care of that for me. Now I’m all ready to find a new home!

My foster parents love that I am such a sweet girl. I get along with all the other dogs in the house and like to play when I can coax someone into playing with me. Otherwise, I’m quite content to hang with my humans while they do whatever they do. I do exhibit a few of the Beagle traits. Sometimes I like to howl at noises I don’t understand. I’d also be a good watchdog, I like to monitor my surroundings and sound the alarm when something seems amiss. Arooooooooo!

My Pug traits are more dominant though. I have a happy tail that is more Pug than “Beagley” My curiosity and head tilts are already legendary with foster Mom and Dad. I will barge through closed doors if I get the chance, just like my Pug brother.

While I’m generally very easy going, strange noises might frighten me. When foster Mom was using the trimmer, for example, I felt compelled to attack it because I didn’t know what it was! Also, watch your plants; I like to sneak a nibble now and then. I guess that makes me a normal dog just trying to make her way in the world, right? ? I just know if you met me, you’ll fall in love.

I’m spayed, microchipped, fresh dental current on my vaccines and on heartworm and flea prevention. Please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application if you’re interested in me! ?

Meet Sweetpea (aka Sweetie pie, Sweetie, Sweets), can you guess her personality by her monikers? That’s right! She is super sweet! Sweetie is the perfect combination of couch potato/snuggle bug and terrier adventurer. She loves walks and will sit so you can attach her leash. However, she is very reactive toward other dogs; barking and lunging until they are out of sight. She does not seem reactive toward people, bicycles, cars, etc, and she loves to chase, which is why we recommend a fenced in yard. She likes to chase lizards, birds, squirrels, possums, pretty much anything that moves. Sweetie is very smart and eager to please, and with proper training and commitment, she could learn to be less reactive on walks. She gets along well with her current foster siblings, but did not like two dogs who visited for two weeks. With positive reinforcement, she was able to tolerate them, but never fully accepted them. She would be happiest as your one and only, as she wants all the attention. Are you looking for a best friend who would keep you company indoors and out? Sweetie may be the dog for you!

Sweetpea COMPLETED her heartworm treatment. Sweetpea is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped and current on heartworm and flea prevention. Please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application for this great girl!

Hi Scout Fans! Hoping we can meet in person? To know me is to love me! I’m a super cute 1-year-old Mini Schnauzer weighing in at 9 lbs. I’m a high-energy pup who loves to play, chase balls outside, I love squeaky toys, and taking long leash walks with you. After a day of excitement, I enjoy snuggling with you on the couch for a nap.

I need lots of cuddles, human affection, and a good ball-throwing arm. I also need someone who is home most often, is retired, or works from home. I don’t want to be left alone if we can avoid that most of the time. I came from an unsafe environment and can be scared easily, especially around new people or dogs. I take time to adjust to new faces, new places, and need your patience and more training. In return, I will provide you unconditional love, and be your loyal loving boy. I find great comfort in a quiet home with one adult who enjoys playing ball and snuggling with me.

I’m not fully potty trained quite yet in the house, but I am crate trained. I am improving with frequent trips outside. A secure fenced-in yard is a must for my exercise and zooming needs. I also need regular monthly grooming to keep me in tip-top shape and looking my best for you. Did I mention I am super cute and everyone wants to pet me?

I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea prevention. I have Diabetes insipidus (this is NOT related type 1 or type 2 diabetes) and my foster mom will explain. Don’t let that scare you because it is simple to help me. Mostly it means I need access to a secure fenced yard so I can relieve my little bladder frequently. I am also taking a daily medicine, it is not expense and yay I am expected to have a normal life expectancy Lucky ME!!!!

If you think you’re a good fit for me, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application for Scout.

Note that you must be a Florida resident, at least 25 years old, and your past pets should have been be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and have consistent veterinary care.

Thank you for reading my information today. If this is here , I am still available for adoption fans!

Hello, my name is Blondie!  I have been told I have beautiful ombre` wavy hair, with dark roots and blonde/white locks, and seriously, people pay good money to get hair like mine!  I don’t care about all that though!  I’m glad people think I’m cute, so I get lots and lots of love.  I love to be with my human, in their lap as much as possible.  I definitely want a family that is home more often than not. I do get nervous when I can’t find my human, because I can only find my human with my nose, as I had to have both eyes removed when I came to VIP Rescue due to a severely infected eye, and the other one had glaucoma, so the dog-tor was unable to save my sight.  I came through the surgery with flying colors and most importantly, I’m not in pain anymore!!  I wear this halo now (I’m an angel), this helps me find my way around without bumping into things. I do pretty good once I get familiar with the house.  I do sometimes knock things over, open spaces are easier to navigate, and sometimes I get “stuck”, where I can’t figure out how to get out of a spot, so I’ll bark to let you know I need help.  I can find my Foster mom when she’s in another room and follow her around the house.  I can go up the short stairs to the couch, though most of the time I just ask to be picked up by coming over and rubbing up against her or lifting my paws, up, mom, up!  I can even find my toys and I love to play with them, squeakers are my favorite! 

I have learned to go to the door when it’s time to go out.  I go out on to the deck easy, but the stairs make me nervous, it’s tough to know when I’m at the stairs or about to fall off something, so my foster mom carries me down.  I can go up the stairs pretty good; no stairs in my new home would be amazing!  I find my own way around outside to do my business, and I have never had an accident in the house, I know to wait until I smell grass.  I don’t like to be leash walked, I prefer to lead with my nose.  I’ve been told some people “walk” their dogs in strollers, I might like that so I can relax and do the “sniffies” without being worried about bumping into things.  I love to sit in the sun, just like any other dog, but I want you to stay out with me though and talk to me so I know where you are and that I’m not alone.  I get along well with my foster canine siblings, one of them gets mad when I bump into her and she growls, but I tell her, hey, It’s not my fault, I can’t see!  Now she has learned to move when I come close, the other two don’t mind when I bump into them. If you have animals at home already, we would require a meet and greet to see how they react to my halo and to make sure we get along just fine. I’m scared of Fireworks and will need to have all of your attention to help me through the times of year when they are used. 🙁

I’ve been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and am current on heartworm and flea prevention. I will require regular grooming for my beautiful hair, so please keep that in mind with your budget.

Are you ready to open your heart and home to this beautiful girl?  If so, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application. She hopes to meet you really soon!
