Teddy and Benny Hello everyone. We are Teddy (larger black and white) and Benny (brown), a bonded pair of Shih Tzus looking for a new home.
This sad story is far too common and happens way too often. Teddy and Benny. These two boys had their forever human for the last nine and 10 years, and one day their human got too sick to take care of them. They went to a different home temporarily, and then two weeks later found themselves in another place. THEN, a week later, another place, then a week later another place. ? Can you just imagine how confused these boys were? There’s no way they could possibly understand what’s going on. No one wants to hear this. No one wants to live this. The human got sick. A friend stepped in to help only to realize they couldn’t handle it. Then another human stepped in, and another only to reach out to Rescue to surrender the boys. These two boys didn’t ask for any of this. Teddy and Benny were happy the last several years only knowing one home, with THEIR human.. their loving caregiver. The family members didn’t want them. Again, this happens far too often and we can’t stress enough, PLEASE make arrangements for your pet(s) in advance should something happen to you where you can no longer care for them. PLEASE, DO. IT. NOW. Tomorrow is not promised.
Lucky for them, they’re now in the care of VIP Rescue hoping they will find a forever home together. Teddy and Benny are bonded boys who only know each other. They only have each other. Vip Rescue WILL NOT separate them. This is where we hope an Angel will step in. A human or two who will see the love they have for each other and the love they are willing to share with another family. Are you willing to give these two boys a forever home??? Yes, they’re seniors, yes, they’re bonded. These are two things that are against them. Not many folks will take on a case like this. It takes them a few days to adjust to get to know their surroundings. Then they are absolute couch potatoes. They love their walks, they love their food, and once they adjust they love belly rubs and loads of attention.
Teddy and Benny have hair that does grow so they will need to be groomed on a regular basis, this can cost anywhere from $50-100 per dog. Please keep that in mind for your budget if you’re interested in adopting them. They are basically housebroken but will use a peepad if they are not let out often. A home with a secure fenced yard is preferred. What do you say, are you that special Angel they’re looking for?
This is the epitome of Rescue: There will always be puppies. There will always be young adults. There will always be seniors that are looking for homes. That’s what Rescue is all about.
Rescue is the transition for seniors like this. We see it every day. We could not see these two going to a shelter, potentially separated, possibly being euthanized. They have a lot of life left in them in with the hopes that their life will be with you. Are you ready to open your heart and home to these two beautiful boys?
They are neutered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and both received fresh dentals along with an annual senior wellness check. They’re also current on their monthly heartworm and flea prevention as well.
To welcome these two into your heart and home, please submit an application to www.viprescue.org
Do you have that special loving home for both of us? We sure hope so. Please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application for us! 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 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
