PLEASE NOTE: LOOK OVER YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE HITTING SUBMIT, AS INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED. 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 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 it’s 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 that’s 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. Don’t 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 love to see her new home with a doggy friend who is submissive and friendly of similar age or younger and size to play with. 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 what’s 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 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 pet's needs. Thank you for thinking rescue.

Story
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a 10-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix and the largest member of her adorable little family, weighing in at a whopping 14.5 pounds. While she may be the biggest of the bunch, she's every bit as sweet, gentle, and loving as her best friends Hector, Chia, and Darla. Poppy has a soft, affectionate personality and enjoys spending time with both people and her canine companions. She is the kind of dog who is happy to be included in whatever you're doing, whether that's relaxing on the couch, following you around the house, or joining you for a leisurely stroll. Her calm demeanor and loving nature make her an easy companion to adore. Poppy and her three friends recently lost the person they loved most. Their owner cherished them deeply and had one final wish: that Poppy, Hector, Chia, and Darla stay together. They have spent their entire lives as a family, providing comfort, companionship, and security to one another through every stage of life. Now, these four little dogs are searching for a special person willing to continue that bond. Are you brave enough to take on a four-pack of very cute little dogs? While bringing home four dogs may seem like a big commitment, this tiny family comes with an enormous amount of love. You'll receive four loyal shadows, four warm cuddle buddies, and four grateful hearts. Poppy may be the biggest of the group, but she's just another piece of the puzzle that makes this little family complete. If you have room in your home and heart for Poppy and her friends, you'll be helping fulfill a dying wish and giving four deserving dogs the second chance they deserve.

Story
Meet Darla! Darla is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix with a heart as sweet as her adorable little face. This gentle girl is part of a very special four-pack that includes her friends Hector, Chia, and Poppy. Together, they make quite the charming crew! Darla is unimaginably sweet and loves being close to her people. She has a calm, loving personality and is happiest when she's receiving attention, snuggles, and affection. Despite a few medical challenges, Darla greets each day with a happy spirit and a wagging tail. Darla has a luxating patella, which occasionally causes her to hold up one of her back legs for a few moments. She is also taking Vetmedin for her heart, but neither of these things slow her down. She still enjoys exploring, spending time with her canine companions, and soaking up all the love she can get. Darla and her three best friends recently lost the person they loved most. Their owner adored them and had one final wish: that Hector, Chia, Poppy, and Darla remain together. They have spent their lives as a family, finding comfort and security in one another, and we hope to honor that wish by finding a very special adopter willing to welcome all four into their home. Are you brave enough to take on a four-pack of very cute little dogs? While adopting four dogs may sound like a big adventure, you'll be rewarded with four times the love, four times the cuddles, and four times the joy. These little dogs don't ask for much—just a soft place to sleep, a loving lap to curl up in, and the chance to stay together. If you have room in your heart and home for this devoted little family, Darla, Hector, Chia, and Poppy would love to meet you.
