Story
Update: 11/04/25 Chopper would like to speak - I have been with 3 UYR Fosters now on my long road trip and all I keep hearing is that I am such a sweet little boy and it's easy to fall in love with me right away. Awww........I am very affectionate, love to be near my human and I like to cuddle with her when we sleep. I am a very good eater, which is a good thing, as I am much too skinny and they are trying to put some weight on me. I have gained a pound! Yippee! I get along well with the resident senior dog. My only little quirk is that I won't walk on the leash. If I could talk, I could tell you why, but foster Mom is just figuring it might be lack of experience. So she is slowly working with me to help me like doing that. I am going in this week for my neuter, dental and pedicure. Once I heal from that, I will be ready to rock n' roll my way to you. I know I am a senior, but I am a spunky little guy and if you welcome me into your home and heart, I promise I will love and cherish you for the rest of my life.

Story
Update: 11/04/25 Tyson has enjoyed a very happy and loving journey in the short time he was rescued from the shelter after his Mommy passed away and, sadly, no one wanted him. It's hard to imagine that someone wouldn't want this sweet and darling little man. He loves to be near his human, is very affectionate, gets along well with foster mom's resident senior dog, eats well, sleeps well and is housebroken. He does have a little incontinence during the night so he sleeps with a belly band - other than that - no accidents. He will let you know when he wants to go out and walks nicely on the leash. He didn't know how to do his business in the grass but because he is a smart boy and a fast learner, he is starting to go in the grass. He had even been afraid of the stairs and now prances up the stairs like a young dog! Tyson has been to the vet and has stage one kidney disease, so he will be going on a kidney diet. His blood work is pretty good, some highs and lows, but considering the neglect he has endured, he is doing quite well. Tyson needs a dental in a big way but vet is waiting until he is on the kidney diet for a couple of weeks, along with antibiotics and then will reassess. After his nasty, infected mouth is healed, it can also stabilize his blood levels. That's what we know for now and if you are wanting to give a mellow, calm and loving senior boy a good home, he promises to love and cherish you for the rest of his life. Will you be the one?

Daisy Redington Beach Available for adoption VIPRescue.org Dog Name: Daisy/Redington Beach DOB: 11/12/2018 (approx) DOG BREED: Maltese mix DOG WEIGHT: 8.2lbs GENDER: Female HOUSE TRAINED: PeePad trained working on leash walks LOCATION: Redington Beach, FL GOOD WITH DOGS: Yes, similar size. No large dogs GOOD WITH KIDS: Not recommended GOOD WITH CATS: Not recommend COLOR: White FENCED YARD: Recommended, she is very nervous on the leash, Not required(with an experienced handler), but if you have one, because she’s so tiny, she will need supervision when in yard at all times. **We will verify ALL information on your application, any incomplete applications will be closed** Everybody say ahhhhhh….. Why it’s sweet sweet Daisy, an 8.2lb 7 year old cutie pie! Little Miss Daisy has had a challenging life, being crated most of the time with limited socialization and human contact. Sadly, her human became ill, and was no longer able to care for her and she was surrendered to VIP Rescue. Unfortunately, we were also told she had never been to the Vet for any care, so of course the very first thing we did was take her to our Vet for a full work up. Thank goodness all is well with her. Daisy has been doing well in her foster home, but was quite nervous at first, especially with the outside environment, but seems to be settling in. She is learning to trust foster Mom, and has started to show some curiosity with things inside and outside of the home. Leash walking is a bit of a challenge, (remember she lived in a crate and didn’t go outside) the first few days she was scared of the leash and would “pancake” on the ground when leashed, so foster Mom put her in a “sling” and carried her around. Daisy seemed to like that, her little nose was just a twitching with all the sniffies in the air….too cute…After a couple of days of being carried and catered to, she showed some interest in walking with the pack, and is slowly becoming a “pro” at leash walking! She does stop frequently to “smell the roses” and really likes her walks now. You go girl! She is indifferent with the other pups in the foster home, so she could either be your one and only or with another established pup her size. The ideal home for Daisy is a quieter adult only home with someone who is definitely home more often than not, ideally a retiree or an adult that works from home. With a secure fenced yard attached to the home. She is a sweetie, but will need time and patience to continue building her confidence and trust in her humans. Also something to keep in mind is that she will require regular grooming which can run anywhere from $60.00 and up for each session, so please be prepared in your budget for that very important expense. Daisy has been spayed, had a recent dental, is current on her vaccines and also on her monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Might she be the gal for you? If so, please visit www.viprescue.org and fill out an adoption application! VIP Rescue reserves the right to approve or disapprove adoption applications submitted based on each dogs specific needs. If your adoption application is approved, you will be required to travel to the dogs foster home to meet the dog. 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 12-15 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 on the pet you’re interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pets needs. Thank you for thinking rescue. As always, if you have any questions at all, feel free to email us at info@ viprescue.org Applications are found on our website VIPRescue.org Applications are found on our website VIPRescue.org Direct link: https://viprescue.org/daisy-redingotn-beach/ Application form: https://viprescue.org/application-to-adopt
