Welcome ...
Vashon Island Pet Protectors, established in 1984, works each day to improve the quality of life for domestic pets on Vashon Island. This year we are celebrating 25 years of service to the community. Affectionately known Island wide as "VIPP,” Vashon Island Pet Protectors is a no-kill and non-profit 501c3 animal rescue organization run by compassionate and dedicated volunteers. Our primary objective is to make sure there are no homeless pets on the Island. We accomplish this by running an efficient lost and found operation and find new homes for relinquished dogs and cats. In an effort to prepare for Island wide emergencies, we have started a new micro-chipping program. All animals that we adopt out are micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and are current on their vaccinations.
Slinky got his name because he spent his formative years slinking around an apartment complex parking lot scavenging for food. One of the residents finally scooped him up and got him neutered before turning him over to VIPP. Even though, Slinky has been out on the streets for most of his short life, he is completely happy to be around humans in a nice warm house. Slinky has a laid back disposition and he would make a great family pet. Date of entry 11/4/09.
