Story
This sweet girl is Bella!  Bella is a 9-year-old purebred Yorkie.  She is currently being fostered by a volunteer.  Don’t let Bella’s age fool you.  Her foster mom says that Bella enjoys a good game of chase and can be a little “scamper” when out on a walk.  While Bella does well with other dogs, she is not too playful with them.  Bella enjoys spending her downtime snoring on her back on the couch.  Bella’s foster mom says that Bella is pee pad and crate trained.  Bella is a special needs pup.  Because of this, Bella may do best in a house with older children.  Despite her special need, Bella will make a great family addition or a wonderful companion. Interested in meeting or learning more about Bella?  Please fill out an application to set up a meet and greet.

COOPER / SEMINOLE DOB: 06/30/2020 Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Mix Weight : 12 lbs Gender: Male House trained: Yes, as long as I get out often. Location: Seminole, FL Color: Blonde Gets along with cats: No Gets along with Dogs : Yes – similar sized and submissive – BUT NEEDS TO BE THE ONLY DOG IN THE HOME Fenced Yard: Yes, required attached to home and secured on all sides… no exceptions. ADULT MALE ONLY or very patient female home, no kiddos or Seniors PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO !! Hello World! Much has gone on in my life in the past few months. Mostly, the visit from my foster aunt has made me a bit of a ladies man. Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer the company of men, since I am a little toughie. At least that is what my foster mom tells me. However, the softer lap is definitely more comfortable. Plus the ladies seem to give longer belly rubs and I like that too. My leash walks are also much more fun now that I have a pack to roam the neighborhood together. My foster mom says I still might have a set back on occasion, but my behavior is much improved. So if you are in the market for a little project, I just might be the pup for you. We would consider a couple, but with that Female need to be extremely patient. Ideally a single human home. and the rest of the story Any incomplete application will NOT be processed. You should also call your Veterinarian’s office and give your permission for us to speak with them to gather the necessary information we need to process any applications. Failure to do so will result in your application being closed. Hello there, It’s me Cooper ( you may remember me from earlier cuz’ I’m still lookin’ for my forever person) I’m a 3 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 and am looking for a Daddy that has a lifestyle that allows me to keep my good standing. For some crazy reason, I just don’t get along with the lovely female human type. (I don’t really hate them, just not for me!) I have no clue why, but hey, we all have our own “quirks”, right? As a terrier, I have requirements that must be met by my future Daddy. First, I must be the center of your universe. I love life as long as I get all the attention, so NO CHILDREN and NO OTHER PETS. In return, I will make you the center of my universe, snuggling and cuddling with you. Second, I require my Daddy 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 Daddy and I also require a secured fenced in yard in a single family home (sorry, no townhomes, condos, manufactured homes and no rentals.) I know that’s going to eliminate some great Dads, 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 will also require regular grooming, so please keep that in mind. I share my current foster home with “Big Daddy” he sets all the rules here, and guess what? I’m a better boy for it. I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and current on my 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. I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and current on my heartworm and flea prevention. Applications that don’t meet my requirements will be not be processed and will be closed. Please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application for me (might be the best decision of your life!) I really really hope my new Daddy 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. World!

PIXIE / Holiday, FL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!!! viprescue.org 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, Pixie wants kids in her new home to romp and play. She loves kids! 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 Adoption 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 14-18 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.

Story
We are looking for a safe home for Peanut, the sweet little Yorkshire Terrier, from someone who is experienced with caring for and (re)training small dogs. We are currently fostering him from a relative who became sick and couldn't take care of him any longer. The kids love him, but we are a busy family and are not in a place to take care of a dog long-term since we work full-time and travel often. Peanut is somewhat housetrained but he has had periodic accidents. We think this is likely the result of being in several different homes over the past year or so, and that some stability will help him to learn where to go potty consistently. He also barks at the door frequently when there are visitors and when it's time for us to leave. We believe he has some separation anxiety. Finally, Peanut sometimes likes to guard certain items, like beef bones and other treats. He will growl at whoever comes near and has nipped at people before (though his bite is pretty small and mostly harmless).

PLEASE READ THE ANIMALS PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Meet Myrtle, a sweet 10 year old white maltese. She came in with severe dental disease, since then MFP has covered her dental surgery where 15 teeth were removed. She is healing in a foster home and with some love and care she will be feeling better in no time! From Myrtle: Hi there, Im Myrtle! I may be 10 years old, but Ive got plenty of love left to give! Im a sweet senior Maltese who is both blind and deaf, but dont let that fool youIm still full of heart and snuggles! Im looking for a cozy, quiet home where I can spend my golden years being pampered and loved. Im a little shy and startle easily, so Id do best in a home with no small children (they move too fast for me!). Older kids are okay, as long as they know how to be gentle with me. Id be the perfect companion for a retired person or someone who is home most of the time. My favorite thing is to cuddle up in my little bed and just relax while youre nearby. I do enjoy going out into the yard for little strollsI like feeling the grass under my paws! I also have a bit of a quirky nighttime routine, where I need to potty once or twice between 12am and 4am. So, my ideal family will be patient and understanding of my needs. I promise, Ill make up for it with lots of love and snuggles during the day! If youre looking for a gentle soul who just wants to snuggle and enjoy life by your side, Im your girl! Lets make these golden years extra special together. Could you be my forever family?
