Hannah and Nelle Bonded pair of girls available for adoption www.VIPRescue.org Hannah 10 years - 11.5 lbs Nelle 8 years - 10.5 lbs ******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. PLEASE NOTE: LOOK OVER YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE HITTING SUBMIT, AS INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED. Breed: Hannah ShihTzu mix and Nelle - Terrier mix Age: Hannah 10 yr - Nelle 8 yr Sex: Female Weight: Hannah 11.5 lbs and Nelle - 10.5 lbs. Color: Hannah - Blonde and Nelle - Black DOGS: Yes they get along with similar sized pups, **Need to be the only 2 pets in the home Kids: Respectful 10+ with dog experience Fenced yard: RECCOMMEDNED Need a single family home, sorry no apartments or condos. A several weeks ago we told about 2 sweet girls who were abandoned by their family and left behind when their “humans” moved out of their home and just left them there to fend for themselves. We also told you that they needed to decompress, go to the “dog”tor, and just chill out for a few days. “Miss”Hannah is a 10 year old 11.5 lb Maltese mix gal, while “Miss” Nelle, is an 8 yr old 10.5lb. terrier mix. Both of these sweeties have been through a lot recently, and are now in search of a loving “fur”ever home together. Yes, together, because these girls are totally bonded. They both had a delightful bubble bath, groomed, as they were infested with fleas and very matted, then had some playtime and then off to the “dog”tor for their spay, dentals ( poor Hannah had 11 teeth extracted 😞) and brought up to date with their vaccines. It was also discovered that Hannah had an ear infection, and a small hernia which was taken care of during her spay. With all that behind them now, they are looking for their new family where they would be the only pups in the house. Are you an empty nester? maybe retired? maybe work from home? Adult only home? Are you active and would love to play with them in the yard, and will take them on walks? Do you have the love and patience to offer these two a great home? They have a bit of separation anxiety, and are working real hard on house training, and doing great! They’re in a loving foster home that is teaching them all the good things life has to offer. They love going out into the fenced yard to soak up some sun and play a bit. They also follow their foster mom everywhere! As we said, both girls are now spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, had dentals, and are on their heartworm and flea prevention. So, if you’re up for cuddles, and can offer these girls a safe and secure home, exercise them (fenced yard preferred, but not necessary as long as you go on several daily walks with them) then you just might be what they’re looking for! Need a single family home, sorry no apartments or condos. 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 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 of the pet you’re interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pets needs. Thank you for thinking rescue. www.viprescue.org

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi… I’m Rudy. 🐾🤍 I’m a 13-year-old Shih Tzu mix and a proud little old lady with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’ve been through a lot in my life, but you’d never know it by how much love I still have to give. 💕 I absolutely love being close to my people—whether that’s hanging out while you work, resting near your bed, or snuggling up for some quiet time. I’m a laid-back girl who enjoys the simple things: cozy blankets, comfy beds, gentle walks, and lots of love. 🥹 Now, I’ll be honest… I do have a little bit of sass. I’ll let you know (with a tiny grumpy growl) when I’ve had enough pets or don’t want to be picked up. I’ve never nipped—I just like my boundaries respected like the classy lady I am. 😌 I’m potty trained, leash trained, and very well-behaved in the house. I get along with other dogs but mostly prefer to do my own thing— no rough play for me, please! Calm companions are best. I want to be transparent about some of my current health concerns: ❤️ Moderate to severe enlargement on the left side of my heart 🫁 Changes in my lungs consistent with possible pulmonary edema ⚠️ Findings concerning for congestive heart failure But even with all of that, I’m still a tough— and extra snuggly— little girl. My dream home 🏡: * A quiet, calm home * Someone who is home often (I love being near my people 💛) * No kids * A cozy space filled with soft beds and blankets * A relaxed environment where I can enjoy my golden years I’ve come a long way since my rough start, and I’m finally getting the love and care I deserve. Now I’m just looking for a forever home to spend my days feeling safe, comfortable, and cherished. 💖 Love, Rudy 🐾 Adoption FEE: $150 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! 🐾 Meet Loko 🐾 aka "Lover Boy" (foster mom's nickname) This fluffy Shih Tzu / Poodle mix boy is a certified VELCRO dog. The second his foster mom walks through the door, he's bouncing around with excitement, ready to be wherever she is. His favorite place in the world is curled up in someone's lap. :) He's the type of dog who doesn't hand out his trust to every stranger that walks by. He likes to take a minute, observe, and decide you're okay before asking for pets. But once you've earned your spot? Good luck ever going to the bathroom alone again. Loko thrives with confident leadership and clear expectations. He's incredibly smart, eager to please, and highly food motivated, making him a fun dog to train. He's simply looking for someone who will help him feel secure by being calm, consistent, and confident. Once he's comfortable, his goofy, affectionate personality shines. ✅ GREEN FLAGS ✔️ Potty trained, crate trained (sleeps through the night), and has excellent house manners. ✔️ Extremely affectionate, loves to cuddle, and is the ultimate velcro dog. ✔️ Great with dogs of all sizes- he LOVES to wrestle with playful dogs but also respects dogs that prefer their space. (He is besties with foster mom's German Shepherd) ✔️ Great with cats; he just ignores them (although he'd happily sample their food if given the opportunity!). ✔️ Doesn't shed, is wonderful with baths, loves toys, and doesn't destroy furniture. 🚩 THINGS TO KNOW ✔️ Adult-only home required- NO children. ✔️ Needs a little time to warm up to new people. Let him approach first. ✔️ Doesn't enjoy being scolded. ✔️ Pulls on leash, may bark at neighboring dogs (but stops when told and his recall is phenomenal), and occasionally chews random household items if left on the floor. ✔️ May whine briefly when left alone but settles down quickly. 🏡 LOKO'S IDEAL HOME ✔️ A calm, low-key household with someone who works from home or is retired. ✔️ A CONFIDENT owner who can provide structure, consistency, and LEADERSHIP. ✔️ A securely fenced yard and, ideally, ANOTHER PLAYFUL DOG who enjoys wrestling. Loko isn't difficult. He's thoughtful. He wants to know he's safe before opening his heart, but once he does, you'll have a loyal best friend who wants nothing more than to be by your side every chance he gets. A little note from my foster: Loko's charm and loving nature make him absolutely irresistible. He’s going to make a truly amazing companion for someone. 🐶✨🐾 Adoption FEE: $600, which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
This adorable little fluff is Kai! Kai is a 5-month-old Shih Tzu. He is currently being fostered. Kai’s foster mom says that he is a friendly and loving pup. He can be shy when meeting new people so he will need someone who will be patient and understanding while he adjusts. Kai’s foster mom is working with Kai on house training and leash walking. He does well with other small dogs. Kai may do best with a family with older kids who can understand that they need to go slow. Interested in getting to know Kai? Please fill out an application for a meet and greet.

Story
🩷 Meet Karen & Chad 🩵 Looking for twice the love? Meet Karen and Chad, an adorable bonded pair of Yorkie mixes searching for a forever home together. These two are inseparable. Whether they’re following you around the house, supervising dinner, or curling up together for a nap, they’re happiest when they’re side by side. They’re affectionate, social, and full of personality. Karen recently had a TECA (Total Ear Canal Ablation) after struggling with chronic ear disease, and she’s recovering beautifully. Her painful ear is finally behind her, she’s feeling fantastic, and she’s ready to enjoy life without discomfort. Chad takes his job as Karen’s protector very seriously. During her recovery, he made it known that he wasn’t thrilled about anyone giving her medications—barking his little warnings to make sure his best friend was okay. Despite his dramatic announcements, he’s all bark and no bite. He’s never been aggressive—just a loyal little guy looking out for his girl. Both Karen and Chad are: 🐾 Wonderful with children 🐾 Great with other dogs 🐾 Cat-friendly 🐾 Healthy, happy, and affectionate 🐾 Ready to be spoiled in a home of their own They’re not shy wallflowers—they love being part of whatever you’re doing and have the kind of fun, goofy personalities that make you smile every day. After everything they’ve been through, these two deserve a family who will keep them together forever. If you’re looking for a pair of sweet, loyal companions who will fill your home with love (and a little comic relief), Karen and Chad are waiting to meet you. ❤️🐾
