Get ready for 100% cuteness overload! We’d like you to meet little “Thumbelina”! She’s a 9 week old sweet and very active English Bulldog “mix” baby. Her original “home” was a breeder, who surrendered her for Euthanasia due to her eye not being “correct”. What a crock of crap, right? UGH…She has a little piece of skin over a tiny piece of her eye that our Vet said was absolutely no big deal and doesn’t hinder her sight in any way. Ok, enough of that. Let’s talk about this precious little girl.
She’s a pistol for sure, all full of herself and super active. She’s a very confident puppy, and her foster home is working on her harness and leash walking, a true work in progress!
She’s good with other pups her size, but boy oh boy, those little “toofers” are sharp, sharp sharp! She’s gets a hold of you, and you’re gonna know it! Her new family must be 100% committed to working on all her puppy training with her, there will be no exceptions. We are also looking for a family that has a proven track record with this breed. Everyone loves an adorable puppy, but this breed does need someone experienced. Her family should be an adult only home, or possibly a home with older kids, says 14+ might be considered. Thumbelina “Lena” as her foster Mom calls her, would like a young, active family to grow up with, one who will shower her with the love, affection, time and patience a puppy needs. A family where someone either works from home or works part time will be given preference. Work, personal and Veterinary references will be checked.
“Lena” is spayed, up to date with age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and has been started on her heartworm and flea prevention. If you feel you’d be a great match for Thumbelina, 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 on the pet you’re interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pets needs. Thank you for thinking rescue.
