What happened at Futrinka during week 8?

Week 8 means for us that winter is over by now, spring is coming. At the same time it warns us to dedicate more effort to calling the attention of all our supporters on the 1% declarations of their tax – as this forms the financial basis enabling us to help more than 500 dogs annually.We also count on you this year, please, donate these 1% to us, to our protegees. Many are not aware, but the lower amount 1% donations also count a lot, as these add up, and we also have one by one minor amounts to pay, actually quite a lot of them – for instance a vaccination book, a kilogramm of rice, the price of vermifuges is a great help for us as well – and for you it actually costs nothing to fill your declarations in.

Thanks very much!

At the vizsla breed rescue we finalized Barcikai Lurkó’s status this week, his temporary adoptives decided to keep him forever.

 

Our wire-haired GSP wonder, Nesztor also flew out of our care, finding his final home at an active young couple, wandering a lot.

The winner of the week is without any doubt Tápé, finding his final family at last – after several rounds of unsuccessful attempts.

Several of our protegees changed adoptives this week – Lady baba and Berger are now waiting for the possibility to move to a permanent family at the Dog Garden dog pansion.

Haver had to move to our rented kennel row for his behavioral problems, we are looking for a deliberate, experienced temporary adoptive for him, not shying back from this difficult task, but getting him socialized.

Bobó, the adult Hungarian vizsla female arrived at our care from her previous owners. Currently she is learning the ways of communication with other dogs.

Lipót has found a permanent owner, but is not aware of it at all – his temporary adoptive has decided to become a permanent one, this week signing the adoption contract as well.

One of the puppies of Szegfűszeg, Szellő flew out of our care this week, finding a final family. From among his brothers Szende is still waiting for the real one to find him.

This week we were doing the vet-visits with Guszti, arriving back in the past with a serious demodex – even though the disease is already gone, his condition does not get better because of his allergy, there is still a long way to go to complete health.

During the weekend William, the vizsla mix boy arrived at our care from the Törökszentmiklós animal protection foundation. Previously he had shown symptoms of epilepsy several times, hence currently a date is to be agreed for him for a special check-up, so that we learn more on his condition.

This week should have brought Szegfűszeg, the Mummy of  Sz-babies neutralization, but as her routine heartworm test proved positive, the operation had to be cancelled. After the medical check-ups she could move to a temporary adoptive to learn the rules of living in a flat, as well as those of living in a city.

Kubu, the half-eyed vizsla mix boy changed his adoptive this week, moved to an experienced volunteer of ours. He is waiting here for the dream owner to show up for him.

From among our chanceless mixtures two puppies were moving to owners. We might say our joy is greater than usual in these cases, as this way these youngsters can grow up at their own families, not with us.

Krampusz, the black beauty was spending his time as the last member of Karácsony-litter with us, waiting for someone falling in love with him regardless of his black colour – and this week brought him success. The volunteer of another organization took him home.

Darabka, the stocky mini also flew out, his owners might not have known before what type of dog they had imagined for themselves – but the haphazard appearance of Darabka, the short legs, funny ears, stripes had just whirled them.

Another medicament round is over for our heartworm-affected ones, with the control fast-tests to follow up. The first test proved negative for Abszolút, now we are organizing his control.

Dachshund breed rescue did not have a lazy week either, we cannot really decide where to start our news – as had good and bad things alike this week.

Poltergeist took the new round of antibiotics, targeting the bacteria feeding the heartworms for two weeks – fortunately producing a negative control test afterwards. Still, our happiness will only be complete when his control test also proves this.

Jim Beam’s placement became an urgent issue, as he could not stay at his previous place – luckily we could find him another temporary adoptive this week, where he moved. His life did not start without problems there either, as he is showing signs of separational fear, barking…we really need your fingers crossed now so that he can stay.

Raul had an X-ray to see whether there is anything to operated regarding the strange object seen in his stomach during his CT – but luckily whatever it was, left Raul the natural way, no need to operate him.

We thought this week Csomorzsi, the shy, elderly Dachshund mixture lady could move to a temporary adoptive, as we had been negotiating with an Austrian family for weeks, wishing to adopt Csobodri, Csomorzsi’s blind mate – his temporary adoptives would have adopted Csomorzsi for Csobodri’s place. Unfortunately it could not happen this time, as the day before his journey the family cancelled the adoption of Csobodri. We are quite sad, but such is life.

Uncle Szuszi has an ownership candidate, so we had to arrange his neutralization. We were quite worried because of his age, but also considering that one of his balls was in his abdominals, we could not have decided otherwise. Luckily Uncle Szuszi took the operation pretty well, the following day already playing with a ball.

Kóc, the beautiful wire-haired Dachshund male was also neutered, for a reason non-understandable to us he is still living at the kennel row…would be great to have at least a temporary adoptive for him…his pre-operation heartworm test proved negative.

We also had several new arrivals. The most serious case is that of Stevie Samu, a 10-year-old Dachshund male, run over by a car – being hit on the head, causing his eyes blowing out of their orbits. The PCAS animal protectors of Nyíregyháza ran to the animal hospital with him, after his shock-treatment his eyes needed to be removed.

The „horsefaced” knight, Zsebpénz arrived at us from Debrecen, as a found one. He is a young-adult wire-haired Dachshund mixture male, being nice with everyone, open, having a perfect relationship with other dogs as well. Unfortunately his heartworm test resulted positive, we have started his treatment.

Hupli and Túrás, the two Dachshund males, under 2 years of age arrived from beside lake Balaton. In their previous life they had just grown without any attention given, meaning also this change completely mixed them, upon their arrival they were growling, catching. By now they have opened up nicely, with care and treatment given they will make perfect family members. They are looking for owners.

The arrivals would have enlarged our personnal very much, but luckily we had some protegees flying out as well.

Dambo arrived from a Serbian shelter, at us landing at a temporary adoptive – irresistibly falling in love with him, meaning Dambo could start his owned life immediately.

Kiskarak, the wire-haired Dachshund mixture taken from the shelter of Eger also moved. Previously he was left at an abandoned house, having a perspective only to starvation – but was lucky, got saved and landed on a sofa.

Kisvuk, the Dachshund mixture male, also originating from Eger, was also planning a move, but unfortunately this one did not work out. If anyone needs an 8-10-month-old, longer-legged wire-haired Dachshund mixture, the chance is right here! Kisvuk is still looking for an owner.

Fenyőfa is the perfect example to prove that even one interested candidate might be enough to get owned – meaning if he is the real one. This thing is exactly what happened to him: so far nobody had been interested in adopting him, then came a sympathetic e-mail, ending up in the adoption of Fenyőfa!

What happened at Futrinka during week 7?

We were invited to FEHOVA (Fishing, Hunting and Arms International Exhibition), where besides presenting our Association the participants could also take a look at our gift items.

Besides, the event included a moment meaning a lot to us: as a result of your votes we received the dogfood-donation. Thanks very much to all of You!

At our vizsla breed rescue we had two shocking arrivals this week, one of them being the young Hungarian vizsla, Pocoyo. One of Pocoyo’s eyes turned inside out, the vet resisted putting him to sleep, his owner simply disowning him. Unfortunately his wounded eye could not be saved, the local animal protectors turned to us for help.

This week two members of T-bedding, Tepertő and Ted could also move to final families from their temporary ones, this way the puppies of the family found in the drainage ditch flee our care one after the other to start their new lives in their own families.

The less fortunate member of T-litter, Tápé got back to our care after only a couple of days spent owned – adopting a puppy is a huge responsibility, still many do not see it. Tápé got back to his temporary adoptive, hopefully the real, final family will soon enter his life.

This week Barcikai Lurkó visited the vet for a check-up, and as previously he had been tested negative for heartworms, now underwent neutralization.

 

From among the members of Sz-bedding Szamóca found her final owner this week. From among her brothers Szellő was also welcoming visitors, Szende is still waiting for the real one.

 

The most lucky one this week was Lu, the blind vizsla baby – he could leave the kennel row behind to move to a final family.

Rücsök moved during the weekend to a final owner, the former rat-hunter puppy is now living a big city life.

 

Balu has also found his permanent owners, continuing the fight on fungi started by us. His meeting with the vizsla of the family went without any problems, according to the first pieces of news he perfectly fitted in.

Byron arrived at our care from a rural flaying house, moved to a temporary adoptive to learn the rules of living inside a flat.

In the final hours of this week, Sunday late at night we had a wounded GSP arriving. Ludwig was the victim of a hit-and-run. According to his X-ray his backbone broke into two of the hit he had received, the vets could not help him. He did not have a micro-chip, this way the original owner remained unknown as well.

 

The group taking care of our chanceless mixtures was performing above their power also this week. We had new arrivals, vet visits and a protegee of ours moving.

Szimi is a young-adult mixture female, having had absolutely no chance to survive in the street – her black colour was not suiting it either, adding to it her wounded eye, not having much of an eyesight for one of them. We were asked to help her and could not say no. Szimi moved to the kennel row, waiting for her visitors.

 

Lara Jack is a jack russel terrier female, so far had spent her life among extremely few stimuli at a kennel – hence the world is just opening up for her now, she is accepting it very shy.

 

Alfonso visited the vet to get his staples removed and at the same time to receive his due vaccinations. Luckily his heartworm-test proved negative.

 

Diszkó also had an operation this week, as a tissue nodule formed at the place where the nerves were cut out of his bone – he was continuously chewing on it. This one had to be removed, and he also underwent neutralization. His heartworm-test was negative as well.

 

Argan could pack his things this week, not even stopping till Germany. Our partner organization, Setterburg has found a family for him.

 

The team of Setterburg has also brought us donations, besides the good-quality dogfood special roboratives as well. These are extremely useful for us.

Dachshund breed rescue has also had an active week.

Zemma, the 8-year-old Dachshund female arrived at our care from the flaying house of Hajdúnánás. So far we met a very nice lady in her. Absolutely non-problematic.

 

We had several neutralizations carried out this week as well, the operated ones now being Kisvuk, Kiscsele, Kiskarak and Mimmi.

From among the newly operated ones the luckiest could immediately move to an owner. Kiscsele became owned in Budapest, and even though her fitting in did not start smooth, as she was frightened in the street, she got relaxed soon.

 

Fahéj, taken from the Ajka flaying house also became owned, but his story is not that classic-type – he was convincing his driver on their way to his neutralization to adopt him temporarily, then…well, from that point on he has won the case.

 

Csillagszóró, the Dachshund mixture lady, saved from among extremely bad conditions has also found a new home, from this moment on only happiness is awaiting her. She really deserves it.

 

Fifi has also moved away, his luck taking him to Germany. This one though is a bit of joke from fate, as his previous owners had left him because of a job possibility – in Germany.

 

Uncle Szuszi changed his temporary adoptive, now we are continuing his medical check-ups, while a candidate is waiting eagerly for him.

 

Stacy does not really like to be at her adoptive, having several dogs – would prefer to be a solo dog, meaning she is not happy there. We would like to find her a temporary home, having no other dogs around, a peaceful place. This week she managed to get her biten on her head, while protecting her territory. Unfortunately her heartworm-test is positive, this does not help the issue at all, but we do hope to find another place for her.

 

Also, there is a Dachshund mixture male at Illatos út, whom we would like to help – but till we cannot be sure that he is not infectious, we cannot start the process with him. Agreed with the head of the plant we had a blood test and skin-scraping examination carried out for him. Might be one day he also becomes a Futrinka-protected one…
