Ruff Lauren/Redington Beach

February 15, 2019 by tensign 5 Comments

Ruff Lauren is thought be be one of those “designer” terriers .A little of this a little of that , and a whole lot of energy .

This spirited boy is current on his shots, neutered,on heartworm prevention, had a dental and micro chipped . He is 24.5 lbs of fun and thought to be 4 years young .

He is loving, kind, and smart with a few misguided behaviors that require correcting because he wants to please his human and is treat motivated . Both are good markers for an easy to train a best buddy. He simply has not been given any guidelines.

Ruff Lauren , qualifies as a juvenile delinquent ,needing some behavior adjustments . Did we say he is HIGH ENERGY ?

He loves to rough house with other playful dogs. He is working on his house manners and making great progress on leash walking. A squeak toy is his spirit animal ! He is only suited for an ACTIVE family with out small children . Do I see agility in his future ?

Ruff loves walks , car rides and laps ! He is crate trained for sleeping .

He will require an obedience course, which the expense of will be reimbursed, when a certificate of completion is documented. Did we say he has HIGH ENERGY . He needs to have a single family home with a fenced yard , since he is HIGH ENERGY . Ruff does have some separation anxiety , which he is working through . With Ruff , patience and trust building needs to be your focus .

Ruff Lauren is really a goofball with pogo sticks for legs !

To welcome Ruff Lauren ,to your heart and home , you must submit an application on our www.viprescue.org site

He is thought to be 9 years young and 23 lbs of love . He is current on his shots, micro chipped, neutered, had a dental and on heartworm prevention.Before his arrival to rescue life, was not kind to Mambo. Neglect of a major ear infection ,left him with having to have the ear removed . Has not changed his personality ! He does have some hearing loss, He has a little dry eye and a touch of arthritis. Mambo is an inspiring companion pet , simply full of fun , after what life dealt him. He is super friendly , good with other dogs , good on a leash too !

Just look at that face , big brown eyes , and a smile for all . He is waiting to meet you , so submit your application !

Jolly/Largo/SPECIAL NEEDS

December 19, 2016 by tensign 1 Comment

Jolly has been in foster for over two years and approximately 10-12 years old. He is not adoptable because of his past neglect and abuse. His expenses every month are for heart guard, nexguard, eye drops,a and supplements to give him the best quality life he can have. We groom him because he can’t be groomed by anyone but it’s a 4-5 hour job. He occasionally needs antibiotics for his eyes, he is completely blind but had re occurring eye infections. We would appreciate a sponsor or just donations to help with his care. Just because he is deemed un-adoptable doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be cared for and loved by a permanent foster/hospice. He came from a puppy mill. It averages between 30-60 dollars a month. PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO HIS FOREVER FOSTER CARE
