If you think
people involved in animal rescue spend summertime the same way as ordinary
people, resting on the beach… Well, you couldn’t be more wrong. Summer full of storms and high temperature fluctuations (like this year)
puts a heavy load on our dogs, in particular the elderlies. This week, we almost lost Gombócka
as she was falling into epileptic seizures from one another. She already lost
her conscious. She was hospitalized and the next
day she was taken home by her foster. Even
though we almost lost all hope, we tried to believe a miracle would just about
to happen as she is a true fighter… And
the miracle eventually happened! She is slowly
but consistently regaining consciousness. Despite her strong medications and
continuous veterinary supervision, we see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Hopefully, that’s not the light at the beginning of another tunnel. If it comes to Gombócka, you never know that for sure. What is sure is
that she is not going anywhere from her current residence. We will take care of her veterinary treatment and other needs till the
end of her life and we will definitely not move her.
Also, we had
dreadful action about Tiara, a
veteran in the Core Activity Group. Again, she was diagnosed with armpit tumours
causing her so heavy pains she couldn’t move anymore. The surgery was
inevitable. Unlike after her last surgery,
this time she woke up in relatively good condition and has now fully recovered. Tiara is one of our dogs who will probably pass away from our
organization as she has never been wanted or at least received any interest
since she has been with us. Fortunately,
she is now living in an inclusive family with us and does not know what a true
owner’s love means. Only we do.
We now return
to Dachshunds to take note of another hospitalization this week. Frédi is known to
have suffered a car accident. We wanted to know how much of his current
behaviour can be attributed to residual pains from that accident. Visual signs and excessive sensitivity show that his hip was injured in
the accident. Despite, he as a tough Dachshund and won’t show any sign of pain
indeed… We are looking for an experienced
and patient owner for him as he might have a tendency of making a grab at
sudden movements especially when touched at his back.
Another one of
our Dachshunds had been formerly adopted but has now returned to us after
emergency hospitalization. Heves was hit by a car and hurt very bad. He was returned to us as his owners
could not afford the veterinary costs. To
be honest, our budget is also low currently. However, euthanasia is not an
option for us in these cases. His hip was
virtually crashed to pieces which are now held together by rivets and metal
plates. In addition, the accident caused contusion of his abdominal wall which
has also been fixed. Even though he has a
very long way to go until full recovery, he is getting better day by day. Or at least we truly believe in this happening!
We have also
had foster switches this week. First of
all, Császármorzsa (alias
Scrambled Pancake) was taken out from his former accommodation for us to be
able to get to know him better. He is now staying at our temporary lodging. He feels perfectly comfortable at his new place as demonstrated by the
photos sent over a few days later. We
are sad to see that, for some reason, people do not see what we already know:
Császármorzsa is a truly great dog.
One of the
three abandoned Dachshund puppies (the only one who survived) called Bérc was adopted this week. The first visit already revealed that he would be playing a very special
role in his owner’s life. And it leaves
us happy that he has eventually made it.
Unfortunately,
his stepsisters Buxa, Bála and
Botorka are not so lucky. As
much as we were expecting it, we are a bit surprised that none of these
beauties has been adopted so far. Yes, we know they are black but you couldn’t
say they are not lovely or adorable. Their
former foster had some errands to run and went on a trip leaving them no choice
but moving to another temporary lodging of ours. They are still waiting for
fosters or, if possible, their permanent owners.
We have also
had some quick action this week which made us very happy. One of veterans in Tárnok , Hungary alias Land Germany
Another one of
our veterans has been spotted by her potential owner. She is still with us but
she has already started packing in. This
time, the lucky one is Wanna, a 10+
Dachshund mix lady. She will most likely be adopted by the same family that
shows interest in Gombócka.
Our
“Chanceless” group has a new member Szmila,
a middle-aged Irish Setter lady who had been kept on chain and shows aggression
toward other dogs. She is now living with a foster family. Szmila enjoyed very much the contrast between chained life and family
life and was pleased with the cosmetics and shower she received along with the
comfort.
Two additional
“chanceless” have joined the group. One of them, the young adult mixed-breed
female dog with a rather funny face called Szurikáta
(alias Suricata) did not spend long time with us – her original owners
contacted us and happily claimed her. We
brought some important aspects into their attention: they should look after
their dog more carefully and have a veterinary implant a microchip in the dog
not only because it’s mandatory by law but also because it would have made it a
lot easier to find their lost dog.
Despite of his
microchip, Fácán (alias
Pheasant) has not yet been claimed by his owner. When we contacted the person associated with the implanted microchip, we
got the answer that they don’t have any dog. The dog had been previously
registered to the Animal Shelter on Illatos street Budapest Tárnok , Hungary Hungary
This week has
required no less effort from the Hungarian Pointer Rescue Group than they
usually take on a daily basis. Kele, the black mixed-breed baby girl
of Hungarian Pointer mom Kera has made it to a foster. She is still waiting for the perfect owner who assumes the burdens that
come with puppies in exchange for tons of happiness and laughter. As with all puppies, Kele’s future responsible owner will be obliged
(under a written agreement) to have her neutered when reaching proper age.
Once our Hungarian Pointer Pörkölt (alias Roasted) has undergone the neutering surgery,
he was lucky enough to find an optional foster who will look after him during
his recovery period. This family like him very much and would like to
officially adopt him after a full recovery.
Our Hungarian Pointer lady Rézi who had been taken over from ASKA Shelter has been diagnosed with astigmatism. In addition, she is suspected to be blind in one eye. But do not, for a moment, think that it causes Rézi any kind of problem. She is travelling to
Szálka Bácsi
(alias Mr. Splinter) has made it to a foster family really fast (i.e. just
after he got to us). We are very surprised
and would like to thank Luca who loved him so much. We are also very grateful
for his future family for taking care of this elderly guy.
The very weak
and thin Hungarian Wirehaired Pointer called Jolánta was originally found in Jánkmajtis , Hungary
The approx.
2-year-old kind Hungarian Pointer lady Maja
was originally found by an Animal Rescue Group (Siklós , Hungary
She is also
subject to a 14-day withdrawal period.
