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 ???
doption Requirements: You must be a Florida resident, 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, 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 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.
