Shih Tzu puppies and dogs in New Port Richey, Florida

My dog is loyal and I’ve had her on/off for since 2014. She was a gift for a 14 y/o girl whom grew up, married, and decided to become Muslim and can’t keep dogs. AhChoo is very well mannered and trained for service. I hate to give her up, but she need a new caring home because I have expired my time with her. Tears!

PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BELOW THE ANIMAL PROFILE! Our prince was found as a stray. Hes about 8 years old and was found in DEPLORABLE condition. Foster mama says: Prince is very smart! He has learned to navigate the apartment without sight and has not bumped into anything since the first day (Or when his forgetful foster mom forgets to move the laundry hamper at the end of the night... Whoops! Sorry buddy.) He is also a wonderful companion animal. He loves to be next to you or near you on the couch or the bed while you are working or relaxing. He is so sweet and just loves nuzzling in fuzzy blankets. Prince would be a great companion for a retired couple, single person or family with older children. I would say younger ones might not be great because he still really doesn't like it when things go over his neck. And he will show you with a gentle bite (not hard and will not break skin, but his noise might be startling to some potential adopters. He would be great for someone who is worried about a dog running and not being able to chase him. This boy is not going anywhere! Haha We go outside and he likes to nose around the same ten feet, smell the grass, take his time sniffing everything and then toddles back inside. He is very sweet and loves to cuddle. He is going blind and deaf. History: He was completely and utterly matted, he had MAGGOTS in his eyes. What did he do to deserve this fate? It completely breaks our hearts as he is giving kisses to his foster mom and truly being the most perfect boy. He deserves the world. Are you meant to be his family?

Available for adoption at www.VIPRescue.org Dog Name: Harold DOB: 12/12/2017 Breed: Shih tzu/mini poodle mix Weight : 22 lbs current weight – Needs to a lose a few ;-( Gender: Male House trained: Yes Location: Indian Rocks Beach, Fl Gets along with cats: No Gets along with Dogs : Yes NO KIDS Fenced Yard: REQUIRED – Fenced yard attached to your home. Hi friends, my name is Harold! I’m a 5 year old, a shih tzu/mini poodle mix (a Shi-poo) who weighs about 22lbs(needs to lose a few). Do you remember me? I was adopted about a month ago and we tried to adjust to each other, but I learned that I need a home with only one human, I bond with one person and only one person. Life is a journey and we learned this about me. I’m all good now, and, well, I’m baaaaaaaack! And looking for my one and only human. My favorite things are grassy backyards, car rides, going new places, walking the neighborhood on my leash, and of course, companionship and attention. I am a playful, friendly and affectionate guy. Did I mention super handsome too? Even got myself a new haircut, a big thank you to the nice folks at Pampered Paws Grooming Salon who volunteered their time to get me cleaned up! I sure feel better without all that long hot hair!! I will require regularly scheduled grooming appointments, so please consider the extra cost of that prior to submitting your application. If you cannot afford and are not willing to have me professionally groomed on a regular basis, like every 8-10 weeks, I am not the dog for you. Please consider one of my fellow short haired, non grooming required rescue friends instead. I like and get along great with other friendly dogs, although I may bark when we first meet. Don’t take it personally, I’m just saying “hi, new friend.” Foster mom has introduced me to many dogs (and humans) and I love most everyone that respects my space, both in rest and play mode. (that’s a big thing with me) I share beds, toys and water bowls nicely too. Food, not so much – that’s my kibble! Paws of fellow canines!! I would do well in a home with an already established small to medium size (under 35 lbs), friendly and very well socialized dog. I could also be an only dog, so long as I am your primary significant other. I do not want to be at home by myself for extended hours so if you work full time outside of the home, I’m really not the guy for you. I bond with one person and one person only in the home. If you are not a single human home I am not the guy for you. Keep me on regular potty schedule and I’m pretty much housebroken. Like I said above, you need to be home to play with me and let me out to potty, not working all the time. I like routines and schedules, I’ll even let you know if you’re running late on my meal times. How do I do that? Foster mom calls it barking, but I’m really just talking to her about my wants and needs. I also “talk” to the delivery people, the garbage truck, people and things like big birds that appear outside the windows, and the doorbell, for example. I’m kind of like a little security alarm, which foster mom says can be a good thing, but if you or your environment is sensitive to canine talking (barking), I am not the doggie for you. Foster mom says I am excellent on leash. She often walks me with 1-2 of my other dog friends and I don’t mind matching my pace with others. I love playing outside! I will need a single family adult only home with a secured fenced in yard for me to run, play and sniff. Sorry folks, no condos, townhomes, villas or rentals. This is not negotiable, and I sure hope you understand, but it’s what’s best for me. Truth be told, I am not a big fan of those little humans you people call kids. If you have young children in your home or children that visit your home, I am not the dog for you. Please take note of this prior to submitting your Application because foster mom says this is not negotiable. Foster mom does not have cats, but she’s got a little tiny dog that I am very friendly with and do not chase, but I really would prefer a “feline free” home, ok? Now, don’t I sound like the perfect pup? I think I am, but I do have some “quirks” that foster Mom will discuss with only the approved applicants. I will say that I MUST have an experienced dog owner, I’m not a 1st time pet for sure. You MUST be very active to keep up with all my playful energy, so if you’re a young, experienced active human, I might just be for you! Oh, another thingy, a home visit will be required for an approved applicant, and you must live within 1 hour of the St Petersburg/Clearwater area. I am up to date on my vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, a fresh dental and on flea and heartworm prevention. I’m ready to move along to my forever home, but foster mom is happy to have me for as long as it takes to find my perfect match, I’m not the easiest pupper to own due to my “quirks”. After reading and considering all of the above, if you think you might be the person for me, please submit your application for review at VIPRescue.org ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS FOR HAROLD: You must be a permanent resident of FL, and be a very experienced dog owner, and as cute as he is, he’s not the doggie for a first time pet owner due to his “little quirkiness”. Harold does require a 6-foot fenced yard in a single family home. To qualify for adoption, all of the pets in your home must be spayed or neutered, they must be current on vaccines, preventatives, and have received consistent veterinary care. Harold could typically live 12-15 years, so keep his lifespan in mind if you are thinking of adopting him. Your age should be appropriate for his estimated lifespan.

Meet Rory and Roderick - BONDED - Indian Rocks Beach Dog names: Rory and Roderick (Bonded pair, MUST be adopted together) Dob: 1/08/2022 we believe they are litter mates Breed: ShihTzu mix Weight: 10lbs Gender: Males House Trained: No, but we are working hard on it Location: Indian Rocks Beach Good with dogs: Yes Good with kids: Yes, 10+ respectful Color: Black and White Fence: Required, not negotiable, needs to be securely attached to home Please read ENTIRE bio We’d like you to meet our 2 new furry friends, Rory and Roderick. They are 2 year old 10lb. Shih Tzu mixes weighing just 10lbs! When they arrived at VIP Rescue, they were so severely matted and most likely had never been groomed before but all that changed with a lengthy shave down and warm, soothing bath. Boy, we bet that felt so good! These boys are bonded, and need to be adopted together. They always play together, sit together, sleep together, eat together, you get the idea. It’s funny, because sometimes while playing they are so vocal it sounds like they are fighting, but it’s actually all “talk” lol. They do love to play, and are very high energy pups, running through the house at full speed, chasing each other, and playing with their toys together is their favorite things to do. When they finally get tired, (and they do!) their second favorite thing to do is cuddle up together or pile up on your lap! But….be forewarned, they will get up on tables, and Foster Mom has been working on household manners and boundaries, but in the mean time, she has kept her table tops clear from things they can get into or knock over! They can get into mischief, so you’ll need to puppy proof your home like you would do with a toddler especially with any wires on the floor to keep them safe. These 2 think whatever’s left on the floor is fair game, and theirs! The boys are not house trained, and Foster Mom has them in belly bands for the time being and is working with them on their house training. It’s clear they have never been in a home where love was felt and no rules were in place. Their future home must absolutely be committed to continue all training so they can be the best boys we know they can be. Yes, they are adorable, but it’s going to take time and commitment from the right family. Due to their real high energy level, it’s best they go into a young, active family who can keep up with their antics and someone who is home more often than not is a must. They are slowly learning about leash walks, they are just now comfortable in their harnesses. Another clue they’ve simply not had a good start in life, but we will make sure their new “fur”ever home will have and give them everything they need and deserve. A single family home with a secure fenced in yard is a must for them, sorry, no exceptions because it is what’s best for the boys. They are neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines and are on heartworm and flea prevention. If you think these boys might be for you and you can meet all their needs, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.
