Hey everyone, we’d like you to meet “Popcorn”! He got his name because when he gets groomed his hair curls right back up and looks like fresh popcorn! He’s a super sweet 2 year old boy who loves to play play play, so he’s thinking he’d like an energetic playful home and family. Popcorn was found as a stray and has been in a foster home with kids, grandkids and other pups and is doing great with all. He has a great personality to! He loves attention and of course, his yummy food. The food, oh my, he will do anything and get anywhere to find food. You will actually need to “Popcorn proof” your home, no lie. He will get on chairs, tables and counter surf in search of any unattended morsels. Haha! Seriously, you cant leave that plate or pot of spaghetti out anywhere because he will get it and eat all of it, ALL.OF.IT.????? Ok, so we’re assuming at this point you get the idea, right? Oh boy, that’s a challenge, right? Do you have time to play and take walks, and play and walk and play some more with this guy??? He’s all about that! He is crate trained for sleeping at night or he will snuggle up in the human bed if that’s ok with you. If you don’t want him in your bed, he will need to be in a crate.(Remember the counter surfing? Yup!) He is very smart and could benefit from some formal training. He is ok on the leash, he loves to lead the way but does take correction to slow it down and walk nice, but when he sees another dog, he gets excited and wants to say hi to everyone. Again, with a little training and time, he will be the bestest boy. He has the typical puppy energy and is somewhat of an adventurer. Are you looking for a best friend who would keep you company indoors and out? Popcorn may be the dog for you!

Popcorn is neutered, 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 boy.

Breed: Labradoodle mix

Age: 2yr DOB 1-3-23

Sex: Spayed Female

Weight: 48 lb currently

Color: Apricot

DOGS: She will require another established dog in the home to play with.

Kids: Respectful 7 + with dog experience, she would not be a good fir for a first time dog owner.

Fenced yard: Secure 6 foot fence Required, attached to the home, a dog park is not a substitute.

We’d like you to meet one of the sweetest gals ever! This is Sheba, a beautiful almost 2 year old Labradoodle girl. Sheba came to us in horrible shape weighing in at just a mere 22lbs and very sickly. She has spent the last few months in one of our amazing foster homes, and is now a happy, healthy girl weighing about 48lbs. She does has some food aggression, the foster will go over this with you.

Sheba is not completely house broken, she is working hard at it and absolutely LOVES other dogs and kids too! She does have some separation anxiety, so it is crucial that she goes to a home where the family is home more often that not, has a doggie or 2 siblings of similar size to learn from and play with, and kids? that’s a bonus for her as she loves them! She must have a single family owned home with a secured fenced in yard for her to do her zoomies in and play with her new family.

Sorry, no rentals, no apartments, no Condos, etc., it’s what’s best for her, and what she truly needs. A young, active family would be ideal for her.

Sheba has been spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and is on her monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Please keep in mind she will need groomed every 6-8 weeks with a cost of about $100-150.

Do you think your family is the one sweet Sheba is searching for? Do you meet all of her needs? If so, Sheba would love to hear from you!

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

Sheba and all of our VIP foster pups wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving?

Rory and Roderick – BONDED – Indian Rocks Beach

(Bonded pair, MUST be adopted together)

Dob: 1/08/2022 – We believe they are litter mates Breed: Shihtzu mix Weight: 10lbs Gender: Males House Trained: No, but we are working hard on it Location: Myakka City, FL Good with dogs: Yes Good with kids: Yes, 10+ respectful Color: Black and White Fence: Required, not negotiable, needs to be securely attached to home

Please read ENTIRE bio

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.

Hey there friends of VIP Rescue! It’s me, Marlin! I’m a super sweet handsome 9 year old guy who weighs just 9 lbs. You see, I’ve had several changes in my short life, but now since coming to the great folks at VIP, I’m on the road to a fabulous life! I just love cuddling with the “hoomans” and play real nice with the doggies in my foster home. I’ve been told I do great on a leash. I can be a little nervous to start, but I do warm up if given some time. A fenced in yard in a single family home is a must for me and non negotiable, sorry, but it’s what’s best for me. A dog park is not a substitute. I would prefer a home where the human is home more often than not, maybe a work at home person or one that is not gone for more than a few hours at a time. Experience owner only, if you are looking for a first time pup Marlin is not for you. Please check out other adoptable dogs on our website,

Think I might be the guy for you? I sure do hope so! Just go to viprescue.org and fill out an adoption application to get the ball rolling! Hope to hear from you soon! Licks and wags, Marlin

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

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!

Standard Adoption Requirements: You must be a resident of FL., and be at least 25 years of age. This breed typically lives 14-18 years, so keep his lifespan in mind if you are thinking of adopting. Your age should be appropriate for Coopers estimated lifespan.

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.

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 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’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 15-18 years, so please keep that lifespan in mind, as your age should be appropriate for the pets estimated lifespan.

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 on the pet you’re interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pets needs. Thank you for thinking rescue.

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!

Please read ENTIRE bio

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.
