Hi I'm Tilly, a sweet, happy, and smart 4 yr old Maltese mix gal ready for my furever home. I've had some bumps in my life, please read my original post a little further down our page about that.
A little about me. I am a super cuddle bug who absolutely loves her humans. I love to dance and spin around when I'm excited. I just wiggle my butt and spin in circles when I know that you are home, or when we are getting ready to go o-u-t-s-i-d-e. I love going on brisk short walks, playing chase, and getting all the belly rubs I can, but my favorite thing in the world is sitting close to my human, like thisclose! Ha! I'm 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 me.
I am crate and potty trained, as long as I'm taken out regularly. I'm learning not to pull on the leash and bark to alert you of any movement, when we go on walks, and I need a patient Mommy or Daddy (or both!) to teach me more leash manners. I also love running around in the fenced in yard. I am a great lizard hunter, and will keep your yard free of squirrels, so its important that a human is there to watch over me. I love stuffies, and your stuffie is my stuffie, but a chew bone is quite welcome too. I am also a great guard dog and look out the window to keep you all safe from delivery workers and traveling salesmen. Ha! I had a rough start in my previous life, and my foster mommy has been working real hard with me to be the bestest puppers so that I can find my fur ever family. Maybe thats you? I sure hope so! If you know I'm the girl for you, just visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application. Dont forget to put my name, Tilly, on that paper. lol..Hope to meet you soon!
More about Tilly:
Tilly 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. We would do best as your one and only.
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 she will require a single family home, no condos, apartments, townhouse or any home with shared walls. Thank you for understanding, as this is whats 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.
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 does great with grooming and is patient in the bath.
Does this sound like the girly for you? If so, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.
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 youve 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 youre interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pet's needs. Thank you for thinking rescue.
