Breed: Boston Terrier
Weight:5.5 lbs Currenly

We’d like you to meet Bynx, can you believe that little face? So cute, right? We are in love with this mighty little fireball. Bynx is a healthy and happy 3.5 month old puppy who weighs in at a whopping 5.5 lbs.!!!! We think her adult weight could be 15-40 lbs, but please note, that is not a guarantee of weight at all, she was surrendered with no information on parentage. She is a very smart little girlie, learning new things everyday. She knows how to navigate puppy stairs to get on the sofa and out to the back yard down 3 steps for play and work on potty training. She is a busy smiley feisty girl. She lovvvvees teething toys, soft toys, and when left unattended human shoes! (typical puppy, right?)

Bynx loves to play with the other pups in her foster home. She would love another dog in her home to play with and bully around with. She is trying to be the Alpha and has a spicy fiesty personality, and of course, like any puppy, likes to chew on things so you’ll need a watchful eye. She picks up anything and everything that is in front of her, so she will need age appropriate puppy chew toys and a quick human to take rocks, twigs and anything she wants to put in her mouth while outside. After playtime, she will settle down in a soft puppy bed or a warm lap to relax on. Please remember, puppies require ALOT of time, patience and consistency, especially in potty training. (She has been working on pee pad training), her tiny bladder can not hold it for several hours, she will need patience while she is learning potty training. Also, don’t forget, they can be “curious” so you’ll need to puppy proof your home for her safety. She will need a home with watchful eyes to make sure she doesn’t get into things she 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.

Bynx came to us with a medical condition and was surrendered from a breeder as unsuitable for sale. She had an underdeveloped rectum. Our vet took her in right away and operated on her to alleviate this issue. She has been recovering in her medical foster home and she is doing fabulous. Potty training will take a little longer than anticipated as with any typical puppy, but especially since her surgery.

Bynx would love a family that will continue to show her all the good things that life has to offer. Since she is currently so small, If there are children in the home, it is recommended that they be at least 12+ and small dog experienced. A adult only home will be given preference. She is fast and so small she can get under feet quickly and sometimes unnoticed. She will need to be in a home where her people are agile and very alert to keep an eye out for her. She is looking for a home with another similar size dog for her to play with and learn from.

Bynx has been spayed, is current on her age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and started on her heartworm prevention and flea prevention.

This absolutely adorable 2 year old mini Dachshund gal is Rae! Her name fits her personality perfectly, a”Rae” of sunshine!

This charmer is very affectionate and loving, who loves being with her human as much as possible. She enjoys sitting on your lap, giving lots of doggie kisses, and is passionate about getting and giving attention, as she has a gentle demeanor. Rae loves exploring the great outdoors w her foster siblings and her foster Mom being out with her at all times in the fenced yard. She’s taken up the role of assistant gardener, always watching what’s going on, as she stretches her head and puts her nose way up in the air to smell all the scents of nature. She’s pretty much housebroken as long as she gets out enough, she’s good on a leash and enjoys her daily walks. 

She does love to sleep in the human bed, and does well getting up and down the doggie stairs for access to the bed, chairs and couches. It’s very important that she’s NOT allowed to jump from furniture as not to cause issues with her back. (It’s a doxie trait and this “rule” must be followed)

She does enjoy playing with her foster siblings, chasing, lizard hunting and group sunbathing! Ha! We were told she gets along with kids (at least 10+) and lived with a cat in her previous home. 

She’d make a wonderful dog for a young active family as she’s loves her “walkies” to do her “sniffies” and if you have another dog in the family, (or a kitty who has been exposed to dogs already) she’d really like that, if not, she’ll need her humans to keep her occupied with proper exercise. 

Rae is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped and on heartworm and flea prevention. Her previous owner had her shaved down except for her tail and ears, so before you know it her gorgeous long haired coat will grow back into that golden/red color. 

Think she might be the gal for your active family? If so, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.

Marley / Holiday

Available for adoption 

VIPRescue.org

Dog Name: Marley / Holiday

Dob: 4-6-2021

Breed: Yorkie/Pomeranian Mix 0 I think he looks like a NorwichTerrier

Weight: 9 lbs

Gender: Male

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

Location:  Holiday FL

Good with other dogs: Yes 

Good with kids: Yes, 12+ 

Color: Brown

******Please make sure to read the entire bio of the pet you’re interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pet’s needs. PLEASE NOTE: LOOK OVER YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE HITTING SUBMIT, AS INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED.

Who is ready??  Marley is ready!!!  Are you ready for Marley??

This beautiful little stud muffin is looking for a furever home.  He is thought to be around 5 years old and weighs almost 9 pounds.  We were told he is a Yorkie / Pomeranian mix.  He’s not a hypoallergenic dog, he does shed and will also need to be groomed about every 6 – 8 weeks so please keep that in mind with your budget! He was surrendered to us from a back yard breeder, and his stud days are now over and he is looking forward to the good life of rest, relaxation and to learn what being a family dog is all about. ❤️🐾

Marley can be a bit shy at first meet, but when he knows he is safe he will seek attention.  He hasn’t met a human that he doesn’t like and a lap that he doesn’t accept. 

He’s learning leash walking and working on house manners.  He is a quick study and learning new things every day with the foster dogs in his foster home. He’s a little nervous around other dogs, but very curious, so a slow introduction will be needed if you have other pets in your home.

A few more things we have learned about Marley is he loves to sleep in the human bed as well as make himself comfortable on the human couch for naps and activity surveillance. He does not appear to know what dogs beds are for and he watches the other dogs in the foster home with curiosity when they play with toys, but so far has not played with the dogs or the toys.  

The ideal home would be a quiet adult home with humans that are home more often than not.  If you have a dog at home, similar size and age, an adult to senior calm dog would be best or he could be your one and only. Loud noises and fast moves by human or another dog startle him. If you have children at home, they should be at least 12+ and understand the needs of Marley. An adult only home will be given preference.

All of us at VIP Rescue are Volunteers, with families, jobs and pets of our own, so please be kind and patient. We select the most fitting application for the dog, not necessarily the timeliest adoption application. Please make sure to read the entire bio of the pet you’re interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pet’s needs. Thank you for thinking rescue.

Marley has been brought current with his vaccinations, neutered, Yeah! microchipped and received a much needed dental and is also on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. 

When considering adoption, please keep in mind that he will need to be groomed, the estimated costs are $60 to $100 per groom every 6-8 weeks

Do you have an open lap? Do you have the patience for him to adjust to new surroundings? Do you think this is the Pup for you? If so, please visit our website viprescue.org to submit an application.

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

**Please read entire bio**

Tilly is a very sweet 4 yr old Maltese mix sweetie who happens to be a real clinger, as she does not let her foster mom out of her sight! She is quick to get in or through any doorway when foster mom moves about the home. Yup, go in the kitchen, Tilly is already there waiting, go to the living room, she’s right there, to the bathroom yep she is right there with a very watchful eye. She is not being left out or left behind ever again. (Please read her original post a little further down our page.)

Get close to the leash she is a wiggle butt, food bowls out, more wiggle butt. For her safety, she is crated only when foster mom needs to run an errand or leave the house for a short time. Tilly settles into her crate, so she wont try to follow foster mom out of the house. Holy moly, when foster mom comes home, there’s wiggle butt Tilly, all dancy, spinny, happy girl to see her human home. She is looking for a home where the human(s) are home more often than not, a work from home or retired family would be best for her, and of course you’ll have to give up any of your private space with Ms. Tilly around! 😂

Tilly is potty trained as long as she is let out often. She is great on the leash and enjoys walks, and loves it in the fenced in yard as long as there is a human there with her as well. If you don’t go out with her, she will do her business where you are, so there’s that…hmmmm best to go out with her then, right? 🤷‍♀️🤗

She is good with the other dogs in the foster home, as long as she is the lead/alpha, she is being exposed to puppies and small dogs and is happy to watch them and is now starting to engage with them. Her favorite is to play with a puppy. We would love to see her new home with a doggy friend who is submissive and friendly of similar age or younger and size to play with, or maybe consider adopting her with Keller (see separate bio), She engages with him the most. And toys, oh yes, toys are great fun, we were told she plays with toys and then dismantles them, they get repaired and then she dismantles them again, What fun right????

Tilly does express herself with her voice on walks and well as home and can get barky sometimes, She wants everyone to notice her and say hi, so due to this she will require a single family home, no condos, apartments, townhouse or any home with shared walls. Thank you for understanding, as this is what’s best for her. She is the lead dog on the walks and will try to correct the other pups should they try to be the lead pup.

She LOVES to sleep in her humans bed, or will sleep in her crate. She will help turn the cover down for you and fluff them up while she waits for the human to join her, then when her human gets in bed she tries to snuggle as close as she can get, next to you or at least having a paw touch you. We are working on her not being on top of her human, she needs to be able to breathe! 😂 Who can blame her after being left to fend for herself for several months, she deserves a cuddle buddy. 🐾❤️

Tiilly is spayed, current on her vaccinations, microchipped and current with flea and heartworm prevention.

She will require grooming every 4-6 weeks, and grooming can run anywhere from $60.00-$120.00 per visit, so keep that in mind with your budget too! She did great with grooming, she was not a fan of a bath, but made it through without too much drama and splashing around. 😬

Well hi there, it’s me, Willow! I’m having a great time in my foster home, but ya know what? I really really would love a home of mine own. Let me tell you a bit about me, cuz’ you’re gonna fall in love, I just know it!

I’m a 3 year old Standard Poodle, weighing in at about 50lbs, ( I’ve got a gorgeous figure if I don’t say so myself.) lol. ok, so here’s the deal… I get along with dogs similar in size, or even a tad smaller, cats are a no no because they are just to small, and I might chase them around. Good grief I don’t want to get swatted with their nails, right? 2 legged kiddos? They’re ok by me, as long as they’re at least 10 years old, respectful and love to play play play just like me! Yup, I’m quite the active girl.

When I first meet people, I can be a little skittish so you’ll need to go slow and have patience with me while I learn that all you 2 legged humans are ok. I definitely need a very active family, one who likes to take long walks a couple of times a day, or maybe if you need a running partner if you go running, yup, that’s my style…Woohoo! Zoomies around the yard? Heck yeah! I’d absolutely LOVE that! Anything that involves activity, I’m your girl.

My new home must be a single family home with a 6ft secured fenced yard attached to the home. I’m not the type who will do well in an apartment or condo at all. I need my “space” k?

My new family will also need to continue with my training, although I’m a young adult, I didn’t have much training before coming to this great Rescue, but Foster Mom has been teaching me all the ropes, I know sit, stay, come, fetch, you just have to continue so that I can be the bestest girl ever cause’ I’m as smart as a whip and have tons of potential.

I am Spayed, microchipped, current on my vaccinations and get my monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Oh, one more thing I gotta tell ya, grooming… yup…. I’ll need regular grooming which can be costly, to keep me looking like the princess that I am, so please factor that into your budget.

So, whatya think? Am I the gal for you? I sure hope so! You can go to www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application and then if we’re a match, we’ll figure out when we can meet, sound like a plan?
Ok, gotta go, time for a snack and then “quiet time” before bed. See ya soon!

Love and LOTS of tail wags, Willow xoxoxo

Little Christopher is back with us again, through no fault of his own! IF you are interested in him, you MUST have prior experience with bringing a puppy into your home, as well as patience while they go through the “separation “ phase” of not being with their littermates. Yes, they will cry at night for a few nights, maybe longer. They just don’t understand why their little world is a bit upside down and where did their littermates go? Secure fenced yard attached to home required. An established pup already in home required. They DON’T understand, but YOU MUST. There will be absolutely NO exceptions to this. Please don’t apply if you can’t commit to the time and patience or have previous puppy experience..

Hello friends! We’d like you to meet Keller, an amazing 5 month old Cavapoo mix. So cute, right? We are totally smitten with this little active fluffy whirlwind of a puppy! He’s a happy and healthy little boy that weighs… are you ready? 10.4 lbs!!!! With that being said, we think his adult weight could be 25-35 lbs, but please note this is not a guarantee of weight, because he’s not telling us who his parents are!

He is a very smart little boy, he’s learning new things everyday, he knows how to navigate puppy stairs to get on the sofa and out to the yard for play and work on potty training. He is a busy happy guy. He lovvvvees teething toys, soft toys, and when left unattended um…..just about anything! ! (typical puppy, right?)

We have learned that Keller is deaf, but don’t let that scare you, as he is very smart. He loves to play with the other pups in his foster home as well as plays on his own. He requires another dog in his home to play with in his furever home, a young or younger adult dog he can wrestling with, chase around, most likely tackle, and all around buddy he can learn from. He will need a home that has the time to dedicate to him as any puppy should, and of course like any puppy, he 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 put in his mouth while outside. After playtime, he will settle down in a puppy bed or on your lap to chill. ( not for long though!) Please remember, puppies require ALOT of time, patience and consistency, especially in potty training as his tiny bladder cannot hold it for several hours. Also, don’t forget, you’ll need to puppy proof your home for his safety. He requires a home with very watchful eyes to make sure he doesn’t get into things he is not supposed to. He will also need time and patience to learn about his surroundings in his new home due to his hearing issue, but once he knows the lay of the land, watch out cuz’ here he comes! Lol… He does requires a single family home, no condos or apartments, as he loves to “ talk”, yup, he’s quite the barker! He’d best be suited for a work from home family, or one who only works away from the home for just a few hours a day as they will be given preference. A secure fenced yard attached to your home is REQUIRED.

Keller has been neutered, is current on his age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and started on his heartworm and flea prevention. Please note, he will require regular grooming which can run anywhere from $60.00-$120.00 per visit, so keep that in mind with your budget too!

Sound like the guy for you? If so, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application. Keller can’t wait to meet his new family!

Having a Deaf dog,

This is one article we googled.
https://www.smalldoorvet.com/learning-center/medical/deaf-dogs

The highlights are:
-You’ll have to be your dog’s ears. You should never let your deaf dog off-leash in an area that’s unsecured. Enclosed dog parks and dog runs are great tools for socializing deaf dogs in a safe space.
-They may not understand certain concepts and dangers that hearing dogs do. For example, your deaf dog can’t hear cars or honking, so aren’t able to use these scary sounds to act accordingly.
-Deaf dogs can get startled easily. Wake them up gently and give warning signs before sneaking up on them. Tap your foot to get their attention and use their other senses to your advantage. There is a myth that deaf dogs may be more aggressive as they can be scared more easily, but this isn’t true.
-They do bark! There is a common misconception that deaf dogs don’t bark, but they can bark just as much as hearing dogs. They may also bark in various situations where a hearing dog would not bark.
-Each dog is unique, deaf or hearing. Deaf dogs aren’t more expensive to care for than hearing dogs, and the costs and care will be specific to your own dog.

PLEASE do your research and understand the potential needs of this boy, before you apply.

A few days ago we told about 2 sweet girls who were abandoned by their family and left behind when their “humans” moved out of their home and just left them there to fend for themselves. We also told you that they needed to decompress, go to the “dog”tor, and just chill out for a few days. “Miss”Hannah is a 10 year old 13lb Maltese mix gal, while “Miss” Nelle, is an 8 yr old 10lb. terrier mix. Both of these sweeties have been through a lot recently, and are now in search of a loving “fur”ever home together. Yes, together, because these girls are totally bonded. 

They both had a delightful bubble bath, groomed, as they were infested with fleas and very matted, then had some playtime and then off to the “dog”tor for their spay, dentals ( poor Hannah had 11 teeth extracted 😞) and brought up to date with their vaccines. It was also discovered that Hannah had an ear infection, and a small hernia which was taken care of during her spay.

With all that behind them now, they are looking for their new family where they would be the only pups in the house. Are you an empty nester? maybe retired? maybe work from home?  Adult only home? Are you active and would love to play with them in the yard, and will take them on walks?  Do you have the love and patience to offer these two a great home? They have a bit of separation anxiety, and are working real hard on house training, and doing great! They’re in a loving foster home that is teaching them all the good things life has to offer. They love going out into the fenced yard to soak up some sun and play a bit. They also follow their foster mom everywhere! As we said, both girls are now spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, had dentals, and are on their heartworm and flea prevention.

So, if you’re up for cuddles, and can offer these girls a safe and secure home, exercise them (fenced yard preferred, but not necessary as long as you go on several daily walks with them) then you just might be what they’re looking for! Need a single family home, sorry no apartments or condos.

1-24-26 PUPDATE

Hi there, it’s just me, lil’ ol’ Dixie here to share a bunch of new things about me! If you remember, when I got here I was a little scared, because this was all new to me, but boy oh boy, not anymore! My true personality has come out, (thanks foster daddy and mommy 💗) and I’m even more adorable if you can believe it!

Are you ready for fun, love and adventure?  If you are, you just have to meet me. I was an owner surrender a couple of months ago, and boy did I have a lot of making up to do. Foster Mom calls me “Dixie the Explorer” Ha! While in the backyard, I hunt lizards, squirrels, bunnies and anything else that enters the backyard. Once I have successfully rid the back yard of uninvited visitors, I come into the house to chew a bone or play with a toy.  When evening hits, I am looking for an enjoyable dinner, a walk around the neighborhood (I love “walkies” and am good on a leash) to socialize with the neighborhood young children and cuddles on the couch. Foster Mom has other pups in the house like me, and I get along with them, so if you have a friend for me to play with it’s ok, or I could be your one and only to spoil, as that works for me too! 🤗 I really need a home that has a secure fenced in yard so I can continue my quest for the creatures in the yard!

I’m fully vetted and prefer a quieter adult only home where my human is home more often than not, maybe a retiree or someone who works from home would be “pawsome”. I’m also going to need regular grooming to keep me looking pretty, so please keep that in mind with your budget. Typically a groom will run about $60.00 and up. 

If you have a similar lifestyle, ( minus the hunt for critters 🤣) please fill out an adoption application www.viprescue.org so we can meet, k?

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!
