**About Lady Beth:**?Hello, wonderful families! My name is Lady Beth, and I’m a sweet and gentle soul looking for my forever home. I may be a bit thin at the moment, but with some love, good food, and long walks, I’ll get back to my healthy weight.??

**Personality: *?I’m a friendly girl who loves to ride in the car and is easy on the leash. I enjoy the company of children and get along well with other dogs. I’m curious about cats and can be introduced to them gently. While I might be a bit anxious during thunderstorms, I find comfort in my cozy bed on the floor — I prefer it over the furniture!??

**Training & Skills:** ?I’m crate trained and have mastered basic commands like “sit” and “come.” I never jump on people, making me a polite companion. Though I haven’t had much socialization, I’m keen to explore and enjoy outdoor dining establishments.

??**Ideal Home:* I would thrive in a loving home with a family that can offer me good food, plenty of long walks, and a lot of affection. I’d do well with gentle children and a friendly dog to keep me company. If you’re patient and willing to help me adjust, I know I’ll be a loyal companion!??

**Diet:** ?I am currently healthy and ready for love! I eat a balanced diet and enjoy freeze-dried raw turkey and duck, as well as eggs, cheese, and fish treats.

**History** LADY BETH and a dog sibling came to VIP Rescue from a family who did not have room or time to keep them and they were living outside in the heat, rain, and weather.

**Health** LADY BETH is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and just had a dental. She requires frequent brushing and monthly grooming which costs $100-$200, so please make sure that is in your budget if you want to adopt her. Preference will be given to those adopters with Standard Poodle experience.

Hey there, I’m Bugsy, or Bug for short!! I found myself in need of a new home when my human failed me and posted me on craigslist, UGH! I tell ya, sometimes that can be one scary place for a pup to find a new home. I hope no other animals find themselves in the situation I was in on there and given to the first person to respond with absolutely no questions asked. Luckily, a dog lover saw my ad and went and scooped me up. Phew….close call, huh? They were told I had never seen a vet, I was not given any flea or heartworm prevention and I was not neutered. They didn’t even tell them I mark my territory and am a very active puppy dog. I had no choice but to leave the home I had known.

I found myself in need of everything dog, even things I didn’t know I needed! I can tell I am in a much better place now and after only a short time I have fallen head over heals for my foster mom, I follow her everywhere and the other dogs where I am staying and very nice to me too. Things happened SO fast after that! I am getting yummy food, I visited the Dog-tor and got current with my vaccinations, tested for heartworm, (thankfully I’m negative). I’m now on heartworm and flea meds, yeah, I was covered in those pesky yucky fleas. Then I was off to the groomer for a bath and hair trim, as I have a wire coat with some soft fluffy hair mixed in. With all that behind me and a few days of rest and some play, I went back to the Dog-tor for a neuter and dental.

A long time supporter of VIP Rescue stepped up and generously sponsored all of this Vet care for me, lil’ ol’ Bugsy, as well as the grooming, and first month flea and heartworm prevention! Wow! I’m one lucky pup, huh? AND guess what? I’m now ready to find my furever home! Yippee!!!

Now the fun stuff. I’m a high-energy pup who loves to play, chase balls, and run. I enjoy taking long leash walks, (in the cooler part of the days, remember, hot pavement on my footsies hurts) couch snuggles and sleeping with my foster mom in the human bed at night and have discovered soft doggy beds are wonderful for daytime naps. I love lots of cuddles, human affection, and having my human in my eye sight at all times. My foster home has other pups and I’m super curious about them and watch what they do and how they play. I would be best with a home that has another established pup, one my size or similar. I’m very nervous around bigger doggies.

I also need someone who is home more often than not, maybe is retired, or works from home. I don’t like being crated, I will bark and let you know if I am contained or accidentally shut in a room. Because I’m vocal if I feel contained, I will need a single family home, I’m not suitable for condo or apartment living.

I do mark sometimes, yes the downside to some male dogs, (and especially not being neutered when I was younger, AND no houstraining either) but please don’t let that deter you, I promise my foster mom is working on this and showing me that it is not OK to mark in the house. I am getting used to a bellyband (male diaper) and with each day I use it less and less. The other pups in the house do their business outside and I am watching carefully and learning.

I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea prevention and I have bea-ut-iful pearly white teef, as I just got a fresh dental.

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

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

Adoption Requirements: You must be a Florida resident, and be at least 25 years of age to adopt.

Weight: 54 lbs

Color: Sable

Breed: Doodle. Poodle, Collie, Lab mix

Good with other dogs: Yes

Good with kids: good with older children

Good with cats: unknown

Fenced yard required: No exceptions

Champ is a very handsome calm 54 lb loving sable doodle, at 5 years old. Champ and his sister Lady (see additional post for Lady coming soon) are looking for a new home, as their owner did not have the time, space, or funds to care for them and they were living outside. Champ is a lovely houseguest, is housetrained, chill, and gets along best with dogs of similiar size and age or older. Champ needs a dog for companionship in his new home, and preferably not a puppy with high energy. Champ gets along with calm dogs. Champ adores his people, and will be your best friend and is gentle! He loves to run, romp, and play outside. He does not know a stranger. Champ was not leash walked in his prior home, so leash training will be a must. Champ is good for grooming, he loves to eat, and likes to cuddle. He sleeps on the floor at his foster home. He would make an excellent Walmart greeter! Champ is fostered in Myakka City, FL. To meet Champ, you will need to travel to Myakka City with your pets.

He will do best in a home where someone is home most of the time. He may cry when you leave him. Champ is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, current on preventatives, and heartworm negative. He is a healthy happy boy. He will make a great new addition to the right family. A fenced yard is required for Champ to run and play at your home. Champ requires frequent grooming. Please take this recurring cost into your decision if you want to adopt Champ.

Adoption Requirements: You must be a Florida resident, live in a single family home, and be at least 25 years of age to adopt. To qualify for adoption, all of the pets in your home must be spayed or neutered, and be current on all vaccines, preventatives, and have received consistent veterinary care. If you’ve had more than one Vet in the past 3 years, please provide all the names and number for each vet. This breed typically lives 12-15 years, so please keep that lifespan in mind, as your age should be appropriate for the pets estimated lifespan. Our rescue dogs are not good candidates to be service dogs. All of us at VIP Rescue are Volunteers, with families, jobs and pets of our own, so please be kind and patient.

Sweet Pea / Largo, Florida DOB: 9-19-2015 Breed: Terrier/Chi mix Weight: 18 lbs Color: Tri-color mostly black House trained: Yes Location: Largo Cats: No Dogs: Recommend to be only pet Kids: Unknown, probably yes 13+ Fence: Yes, required

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

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 is not 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 and is now Heartworm NEGATIVE!!! Yeah. 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!

Breed: Pug Mix

Age: 8 mo

DOB 10-07-24

Sex: Male

Weight: 11.8 lb currently – for an adult weight, could be 20-25 lbs

Color: Fawn

DOGS: yes

Kids: Respectful 10+ with small dog experience

Meet Squish, can you believe that little face? Melts your heart, right? Squish is now a healthy and happy 8 month old little boy who weighs in at a whopping 11 lbs.!!!! We think his adult weight could be up to 20-25 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.

If you’d like to add this little cutie to your family, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.

Hi Scout Fans! Let me re-introduce myself. I’m a 2-year-old, 10lb Mini Schnauzer. I am cute, funny, and playful. My foster mum says I am the bestest boy. To know me is to love me. I’m a high-energy pup who loves to play, chase balls, and run. I enjoy squeaky toys, taking long leash walks, and couch snuggles. I like lots of cuddles, human affection, and a good ball-throwing arm. I’m super smart, and like hearing my favorite words (food, treat, ball, outside, and walk) I find great comfort in a quiet home with one or two adults who enjoy playing ball and snuggling with me. I also need someone who is home more often than not, is retired, or works from home. I do take some time to adjust to new faces, and new places. But in return, I will provide you unconditional love, cuddles, and protection. I am crate trained and I am potty trained, if I’m let out often. I need a secure fenced-in yard 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. (please keep this expense in mind as part of the expenses when considering adopting me.)

I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea prevention. I have Diabetes insipidus (this is NOT related to 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 inexpensive medicine and I am expected to have a normal life expectancy. If you think you’re a good fit for me, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application for Scout. Thank you for reading my information today. If this is here, I am still available for adoption!

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!
