Say hello to Snowball!! We are in love with this little energetic fluffball with the cutest face. He is a healthy and happy little boy who weighs in at a whopping 5.5 lbs.!!!! He came into our rescue after a Good Samaritan saw him being dumped in a Walmart parking lot. 😡 They couldn’t keep him themselves, and wanted only the best for him so they contacted VIP Rescue. Snowball is a very smart little boy, who is learning new things everyday. He learned to use the puppy stairs to get in and out to the back yard for play and to work on potty training. He is a busy little guy who lovvvvees the other dogs in his foster home to play with. Snowball also loves his leash walks.
Since Snowball loves to play with the other pups in his foster home, he will need another young active dog in his home to play with and please make sure you also have the time to dedicate to him. Remember, young dogs require ALOT of time, patience and consistency, Snowball is working on potty training and house manners. It’s pretty clear to us he did not have any guidance prior to coming in to rescue. We are getting him on a routine to help especially with potty training. (He has been working on pee pad training), his tiny bladder can not hold it for several hours, he will need patience while he is learning. Snowball also needs 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.
Snowball would love a family that will continue to show him all the good things that life has to offer. Since he is currently so small, If there are children in the home, it is recommended that they be 12+ and small dog experienced. He is fast and so small he can get under feet quickly and sometimes unnoticed. He will need to be in a home where his people are agile, active and very alert to keep an eye out for him. He is looking for a home with another, similar sized young active dog for him to play with and learn from. Please no big dogs. He does have a playmate in his current foster home, maybe you would consider adopting both? Percy is 5 1/2months old, currently 4lb, and is his best friend in the foster home, (see separate post.)
Snowball is neutered, current on his age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and started on his heartworm prevention and flea prevention.

Adoption Requirements: You must be a Florida resident, and be at least 25 years of age to adopt. We do check county property records and public court records. To qualify for adoption, all of the pets in your home must be spayed or neutered, 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 numbers 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 pet’s 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 of the pet you’re interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pets needs. Thank you for thinking rescue.
