Hey there VIP peeps! My name is Charlotte, and I’m a 4 month old 6 lb. Scuffy Terrier mix puppy!

I like other doggies, (small to medium pups) no big doggies for me! I’m. I love to play with my age appropriate puppy toys, and boy, the food here at my foster home is just delish! I am very smart, eager to learn, catching onto routines around my foster home very quickly. I like to please, it would be fun to train me with consistent work.

Did I mention I’m a puppy? I LOVE to run and play, so a young, active family, will be what I need, (no couch potatoes for this girl!) and preferably one with a secure fenced in yard for me to run around, play ball with you and burn some of this energy off. I’d be ok with kids, as long as they’re respectful and experienced with dogs, say 8+ and respectful of my little size. I’m still working on this “housebreaking” thing, so you MUST be committed to continue my training, and please, because I’m so young, I CANNOT be left alone for hours on end, that’s not good for me, so please take that into consideration as well. If you work part time-time, or work from home, that’d be best!

I’ve been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and have been started on my heartworm and flea prevention to! So……if you’re a young active family looking for an adorable active puppy, please visit www.viprescue.org and fill out an adoption application for me, k?

Good with dogs: Yes

Not cat tested

Fenced yard recommended

Well, hey there everyone, My name is Zippey! I’m a fabulous 16 lb. 2 year old Yorkie mix guy.

My former people couldn’t afford my much needed Veterinary care, the recommended treatment was not followed and I had been in pain for a few months, and trust me, that was no fun, so they brought me in to the Vet to be “put to sleep” because of lack of funds, and thank goodness the Director of VIP was there at the same time with another pupper, and the Vet asked VIP Rescue if they would take me into their program for emergency treatment, and as usual, they said YES!

(Thank you Ms.Betsy, I wuvs you ???)

The amazing “dog”ter West immediately began treatment for my urinary issues, and I was able to be released after a few hours to begin my new healthy life with my foster Mom! Due to previous prolonged lack of care, I’m working on regaining my muscle strength to have complete control of my”tinkling”. I’m working so hard on it, but I do wear a little “belly band” inside the house for now, but when I’m outside I can tinkle anywhere I want! lol I’m making steady progress so in no time I’ll be all better and be housebroken again, I can’t wait! I will be on a special diet for life, which you must be committed to, k?

I LOVE to play with my soccer ball and run like crazy all over the yard, and hey, you know what’s better than playing in the yard with the ball? Playing with YOU! We can have a blast playing soccer T.O.G.E.T.H.E.R! oh my gosh, how great would that be! I get along with other pups my size, or I could be your one and only. I do want a family that has their own home with a fenced in yard too! I’m going to require regular grooming every 6-8 weeks or so, with a cost of $60 -100 per visit, so please make sure you work that into your budget, k?

I’m neutered, current on all my vaccinations, microchipped and am on heartworm and flea prevention. If you think I’m the boy for you, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application! I can’t wait to meet my new family ???

HOUSE TRAINED: Yes, as long as he is let out often

CRATE TRAINED: Yes

LOCATION: St. Petersburg

GOOD WITH DOGS: No, needs to be your one and only.

COOD WITH CATS; No

GOOD WITH KIDS: 12+ respectful kid

FENCED YARD: Required, no negotiable

Ideal home: 1-2 humans and Scout is the one and only animal in the home with a secure fenced yard.

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!

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 over 2 pounds! Yeah me!!

My friend Bailey (see separate post) and I came to VIP Rescue after we were taken in by Animal Control after our human passed away. We could be adopted together if you have space for both of us, or separately is fine, as we are not really a bonded pair, but we do know each other from living together and we used to play together and snuggle. By the way, we are in separate foster homes and doing great!

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! ?

If you think I might be the girly for you, maybe with my buddy Bailey please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.

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!

Dog names: Betty Jo

Dob: 5-7-19

Breed: ShihTzu / Chihuahua mix

Weight: 15 lbs

Gender: Female

House Trained: Yes

Location: Seminole. FL

Good with dogs: Yes, similar size

Good with kids: unknown, 12+ patient & respectful

Color: Black/Grey and small patch of white

Fence: Recommended, we want her to have as much freedom as possible.

Please read ENTIRE bio before completing an application to adopt.

Betti Jo arrived at VIP Rescue with 2 little girls in tow from one of her many litters. Betty Jo is a 5 year old Shih Tzu / Chihuahua mix weighing in at15 lbs! Rescued from a hoarder/breeder, Betti Jo arrived just in time to VIP Rescue with life-threatening Pyometra. Betti Jo was immediately spayed, received a much needed dental and extractions. Due to trying to escape her miserable past life confined in a crate, many of her front teeth are gone. We celebrated with Betti Jo that day! No more babies, no more living in a crate, and it is time to spoil Betti Jo!

Betti Jo is learning all about human contact, cuddles, now sleeping with a human, and enjoying a lap of love. While Betti Jo is absorbing all this love, she is still shy, still a little nervous, and we take things at her pace. Each day she is learning to trust more. We are preparing her to be adopted soon to a patient person; she is now healthy, and ready to become someone’s princess.

Betti Jo is a patient mother to her pups, Billi Jo and Bobbi Jo. She is their jungle gym, their chew toy, they climb all over her, and sleep with her. She is housetrained and learning to walk on a leash. We have started giving her one on one time, and relieving her of her motherly duties. Each day she makes social progress and is loving all the attention, but this takes time…..and on her terms.

Betti Jo’s future home must absolutely be patient, teaching her to trust, and be committed to showing her all the love she deserves so she can be the best girl we know she can be. We would love to see her go to a home where someone is home more often than not. She is learning what toys are. A fenced yard is recommended- we want her to have as much freedom as possible since she has been confined to a crate most of her life. She loves to hang out in the shade with you and she really enjoys the fresh air. A single-family home would be best. Betti Jo has found her voice and likes to bark as neighbors go walking by. She could be your one and only dog, or if you have another small dog that is submissive and mild mannered, that may work. As for kids, 12 plus and respectful of her space and patient would be considered.

Betti Jo is spayed, a fresh dental, microchipped, heartworm negative, current on vaccines and is on heartworm and flea prevention.

Breed: Standard Poodle DOB: 01/10/2013 Sex: Male Weight: 60lbs Requires: Fenced Yard 5 foot or higher. DOGS: Likes the company of older calmer standard poodles preferably female. Cats: Not good with cats Kids: Older calm kids

IDEAL FAMIILY: Bubba is an 11 year old 60 lb Senior Standard Poodle. He is a happy boy, he is calm, cool, and collected. Bubba is a great houseguest. He does not ask for much, a soft bed, good food, a walk, rub his ears and belly, a couch to lounge on, and would love to patrol your yard. He is already trained, and will make someone an amazing companion. What more could you ask for?

Bubba is looking for a calm family where someone is home most of the time. He loves people and loves to be in their company but he is not needy. He has been used to several other standard poodles in his pack, but would do well also as an only dog with a doting human. He prefers female dogs.

Bubba Info: Even though Bubba is a senior he still l loves to patrol the yard, and play a quick short distance ball game. He doesn’t always care to bring the ball back though, ha ha! He is house and crate trained, and has very good house manners. He does not need to be crated. He is great on car rides. Bubba is affectionate, a friendly boy, very gentle, and curious about things. He will alert you and bark when someone comes to the door. He’s good being groomed, but being a senior, short sessions are encouraged.

Bubba requires frequent brushing and grooming. Grooming prices have skyrocketed, so please make sure that monthly grooming is in your budget. Bubba is recently neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, had a dental, and is current on preventatives. He has no known medical issues and his bloodwork was perfect.

Bubba comes to us from a former breeder who was no longer able to keep him due to health issues. Through no fault of his own Bubba came to VIP Rescue. Bubba is being fostered in Port Orange Florida. To meet Bubba, you will need to travel to Port Orange to meet him.

Cats: Unknown

Kids: older 13+ and respectful

Ideal Family: someone who is home most of the time. Franklin requires a house with other dogs. He does not like being alone.

Hello, my name is Franklin! My foster mom calls me a catdog because I rub up against her legs to show her how happy I am to see her. Or it could be because I love to snuggle, but also love to sleep by myself and because I like to sit on the back of the loveseat, like a little lord surveying his kingdom. I don’t know about this catdog business, I’m just Franklin. I love giving canine hugs, where I tuck my head under your chin and snuggle on in. I love going outside and sniffing everything. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I’m just as happy going for walks to get my sniffle time in. I like to follow my foster siblings around to see what they are doing and join in if they are doing something fun, or getting attention!!! I love food, really love food, but I had to have several teeth pulled so I have a hard time chewing crunchies. My mom puts yummy chicken broth on my food to make it soft and I gobble it down.(she’s the bestest, right?) I will sit for treats, but they have to be small and soft so I can eat them. When mom says it’s bedtime, I run over so she can pick me up onto the bed. I love to snuggle at night with a person, another dog, a blanket, a pillow; I’m not picky! Ha! Mom is trying to get me to come to her when she calls my name, but I’m so busy sniffing, I pretend I can’t hear (hehehehe). I will come for treats though! ? In my new home, I need another dog to play with. That is very important for me to be totally happy!

I was recently neutered, updated on my vaccines, microchipped, even had a dental! I’m also current on my preventatives.(SO important!) I will require regular grooming appointments to keep me lookin’ my best for the ladies, so please factor that into your monthly budget. Typically it could run $ 60.00 and up per visit. So whatya think? Ready for me to join your family? I sure hope so. Please go to www.viprescue.org and fill out an adoption application for me, k? See you soon! Love and tail wags, Franklin xoxoxo ???

Dob: 10-20-19

Breed: Yorkie / Terrier Mix

Weight: 16 lbs currently

Gender: Female

House Trained: yes, as long as she is let out often

Location: Holiday FL

Good with other dogs: Yes,Pixie needs another playful dog in the home.

Good with kids: Yes, 8+

Color: Cream

Hi everyone! My name is Pixie. I’m thought to be a 4 year old Yorkie Chihuahua mix, although my foster parents struggle to see the Chihuahua. Honestly it doesn’t matter to me because I’m just so adorable. I know you’ll fall in love with me the minute you meet me.

I came to VIP Rescue because my mother moved and couldn’t take me with her. For some strange reason her new home doesn’t allow dogs. I don’t understand, but I’m adaptable and will make myself at home no matter who adopts me. I sure feel comfortable in my temporary home, and I’m sure I’ll take to my new permanent home just fine.

Currently I’m a bit overweight at 16 pounds, but my foster parents have already started a new feeding regime to help me lose weight. It would be best if you could help keep me on track to get to a healthy weight. I know if you take me for walks, which I love, and play with me outside I’ll be fit and trim in no time at all!

You should know that some loud noises do make me afraid. I really don’t like thunder and fireworks also make me anxious, but I’m willing to snuggle to help me get through it if you will let me. Of course I always love to snuggle, so that should not be a problem. I’m potty trained, assuming I am taken out regularly and of course, a fenced yard is a plus!

I would love a home with another mild-mannered dog, i could also have a home with respectful kid(s) that I can play with. I am very sweet and have a happy tail. I get along well with other dogs, cats, and humans of any age. Just show me love and I’ll happily reciprocate. I’ve been spayed, am current on all vaccines, microchipped and on heartworm and flea medication. Got to stay safe, you know.

If you’re interested in adopting me, please fill out an application online at www.viprescue.org. I hope to meet you soon!

Love and tail wags, Your friend, Pixie

PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO !!

Hello there, It’s me Cooper ( you may remember me from earlier cuz’ I’m still lookin’ for my forever person) I’m a 4 year old extremely handsome terrier mix boy. I have been told I am a member in good standing of the He-Man Woman Hater Club, but I am getting to know that the female type might be ok as well.(I currently do have a foster Daddy AND foster Mommy, but boy, did Mommy have her work cut out for her!) BUT.. she did everything right, and it sure took a while, but I’m thinking I wubs her now) I am looking for a Daddy (or maybe, just maybe, a single female) that has a lifestyle that allows me to keep my good standing. For some crazy reason, I prefer men, so If you are of the female persuasion, we will need to meet and spend some time together to see if I enjoy your company. We all have our own “quirks”, right?

If you are in the market for a little project, I just might be the pup for you, and as a terrier, I have some requirements that must be met by my future human.

First, I must be the center of your universe. I love life as long as I get all the attention and get my way, so NO CHILDREN, NO SENIORS and NO OTHER PETS. In return, I will make you the center of my universe, snuggling and cuddling with you. Second, I require my Human to be a homebody, either work from home and/or retired as I am afflicted with separation anxiety. Third, I must be exercised on a very regular basis. I know that I really need an active Human and I also require a secured fenced in yard in a single family home (sorry, no townhomes, apartments, condos, manufactured homes and no rentals.) I love leash walks, I love barking at cars and everything on wheels as they go by, I know, it’s a little annoying, but I am working on it. I am used to 3-4 walks a day, I know that’s going to eliminate some great Humans, but it’s what’s bestest for me. I might be little, but I require a lot of room to stretch my legs as I like to zoom, zoom, zoom throughout the back yard. It is my job to keep all predators out of the back yard and I am excellent at my job if I do say so myself. Fourth, Bones and Toys!!!! I enjoy chewing on bones and playing with my toys. Fifth, lottsa love and patience!!! I am a good boy when all my requirements are fulfilled, which is mostly LOVE. I luvs to sleep in the human bed, snuggling under the covers. I will also require regular grooming, so please keep that in mind. It’s all about ME!!!!! As long as you understand all is good in my world.

Rescue Note: Cooper has been with us in our Rescue for quite some time now due to his “quirkiness” and his specific needs. Due to his foster parents love, devotion and most of all patience, he is ready for a family of his own now. We would consider a couple, but with that you both will need to be extremely patient and on board with all his “needs”. Ideally he’s look’n for a single human (male) home and a home visit WILL be required.

Cooper is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and current on heartworm and flea prevention!

So, anywho, I just want to mention, and not to be mean or disrespectful, but if you don’t meet all my needs, please don’t apply for me. There are some other great pups in our rescue that might fit into your home better.

Applications that don’t meet Coopers requirements will be not be processed and will be closed.

Please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.

I really really hope my new Human is out there looking for his best boy, me! Cooper!

We’d like you to meet our 2 new furry friends, Rory and Roderick. They are 2 year old 10lb. Shih Tzu mixes weighing just 10lbs! When they arrived at VIP Rescue, they were so severely matted and most likely had never been groomed before but all that changed with a lengthy shave down and warm, soothing bath. Boy, we bet that felt so good!

These boys are bonded, and need to be adopted together. They always play together, sit together, sleep together, eat together, you get the idea. It’s funny, because sometimes while playing they are so vocal it sounds like they are fighting, but it’s actually all “talk” lol.

They do love to play, and are very high energy pups, running through the house at full speed, chasing each other, and playing with their toys together is their favorite things to do. When they finally get tired, (and they do!) their second favorite thing to do is cuddle up together or pile up on your lap! But….be forewarned, they will get up on tables, and Foster Mom has been working on household manners and boundaries, but in the mean time, she has kept her table tops clear from things they can get into or knock over! They can get into mischief, so you’ll need to puppy proof your home like you would do with a toddler especially with any wires on the floor to keep them safe. These 2 think whatever’s left on the floor is fair game, and theirs!

The boys are not house trained, and Foster Mom has them in belly bands for the time being and is working with them on their house training. It’s clear they have never been in a home where love was felt and no rules were in place. Their future home must absolutely be committed to continue all training so they can be the best boys we know they can be. Yes, they are adorable, but it’s going to take time and commitment from the right family. Due to their real high energy level, it’s best they go into a young, active family who can keep up with their antics and someone who is home more often than not is a must. They are slowly learning about leash walks, they are just now comfortable in their harnesses. Another clue they’ve simply not had a good start in life, but we will make sure their new “fur”ever home will have and give them everything they need and deserve. A single family home with a secure fenced in yard is a must for them, sorry, no exceptions because it is what’s best for the boys.

They are neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines and are on heartworm and flea prevention.

If you think these boys might be for you and you can meet all their needs, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.

 **INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CLOSED**

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: You must be a resident of FL. Harold requires a 6-foot fenced yard in a single family home – no renters. To qualify for adoption, all of the pets in your home must be spayed or neutered, they must be current on vaccines, preventatives, and have received consistent veterinary care. Harold could typically live 12-15 years, so keep his lifespan in mind if you are thinking of adopting Harold Your age should be appropriate for his estimated lifespan.

Hi friends, my name is Harold! I’m a 5 year old, a shih tzu/mini poodle mix (a Shi-poo) who weighs about 18lbs. Do you remember me? I was up for adoption a little while ago, but needed some veterinary stuff done, I’m all good now, and, well, I’m baaaaaaaack! 

My favorite things are grassy backyards, car rides, going new places, walking the neighborhood on my leash, treats and of course, companionship and attention. I am playful, friendly and affectionate. Did I mention super handsome too? Even got myself a new haircut, a big thank you to the nice folks at Pampered Paws Grooming Salon who volunteered their time to get me cleaned up! I sure feel better without all that long hot hair!! I will require regularly scheduled grooming appointments, so please consider the extra cost of that prior to submitting your application. If you cannot afford and are not willing to have me professionally groomed on a regular basis, like every 8-10 weeks, I am not the dog for you. Please consider one of my fellow short haired, non grooming required rescue friends instead. 

I like and get along great with other friendly dogs, although I may bark when we first meet. Don’t take it personally, I’m just saying “hi, new friend.” Foster mom has introduced me to many dogs (and humans) and I love most everyone that respects my space, both in rest and play mode. (that’s a big thing with me) I share beds, toys and water bowls nicely too. Food, not so much – that’s my kibble! Paws of fellow canines!!

I would do well in a home with an already established small to medium size (under 35 lbs), friendly and very well socialized dog. I could also be an only dog, so long as I am your primary significant other. I do not want to be at home by myself for extended hours so if you work full time outside of the home, I’m really not the guy for you. 

Keep me on regular potty schedule and I’m pretty much housebroken. Like I said above, you need to be home to play with me and let me out to potty, not working all the time. I like routines and schedules, I’ll even let you know if you’re running late on my meal times. How do I do that? Foster mom calls it barking, but I’m really just talking to her about my wants and needs. I also “talk” to the delivery people, the garbage truck, people and things like big birds that appear outside the windows, and the doorbell, for example. I’m kind of like a little security alarm, which foster mom says can be a good thing, but if you or your environment is sensitive to canine talking (barking), I am not the dog for you. Please consider one of my fellow rescue friends instead.

Foster mom says I am excellent on leash. She often walks me with 1-2 of my other dog friends and I don’t mind matching my pace with others. I love playing outside! I will need single family adult only home with a secured fenced in yard for me to run, play and sniff. Sorry folks, no condos, townhomes, villas or rentals. This is not negotiable, and I sure hope you understand, but it’s what’s best for me. 

Truth be told, I am not a big fan of those little humans you people call kids. If you have young children in your home or children that visit your home, I am not the dog for you. Please take note of this prior to submitting your Application because foster mom says this is not negotiable.

Foster mom does not have cats, but she’s got a little tiny dog that I am very friendly with and do not chase, but I really would prefer a “feline free” home, ok? Now, don’t I sound like the perfect pup? I think I am, but I do have some “quirks” that foster Mom will discuss with only the  approved applicants. I will say that I MUST have an experienced dog owner, I’m not a 1st time pet for sure. You MUST be very active to keep up with all my playful energy, so if you’re a young, experienced active human, I might just be for you! Oh, another thingy, a home visit will be required for an approved applicant, and you must live within 1 hour of the St Petersburg/Clearwater area. 

I am up to date on my vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and on flea and heartworm prevention. 

I’m ready to move along to my forever home, but foster mom is happy to have me for as long as it takes to find my perfect match, I’m not the easiest pupper to own due to my “quirks”.  After reading and considering all of the above, if you think you might be the family for me, please submit your application for review at VIPRescue.org
