Futrinka Egyesület: What happened at Futrinka on the 48th week of 2015?

We were cooking! Yesss, you were reading it right, even more, in two dishes simultaneously, as this weekend we had our Közös Lábos (Common Dish) programme at Szimpla Kert. Many of you have come to meet us here, many of you have helped, many of you have donated – hence this day was really worth it. Special thanks go to our chefs, Anikó and Eszter, also to the teams of our cookies-counter and that of gifts.

At our vizsla breed rescue group the dominant part of happenings were those of moving new families, but we also had arrivals as well. Szidi was not needed any more by her previous owner, hence an animal friend took her to himself, saving her life this way and asked for our help. We are still in the phase of learning her, according to our experiences so far she is a hihgly human-centred, hiding one, extremely grateful for every touch, any caressing. So far she could not have been appraised that much, currently will wince for any movements evident only for us, will surrender immediately for everything unknown – otherwise being the normal routines of a day.

Gordon has come to our care from his former owners, used to live peacefully with his mates for years, but after the unfortunate death of one of them his groupmates turned against Gordon – had several quarrels, often attacked him. The owners tried to restore the peace in the pack, unfortunately without success. They separated the dogs, but Gordon started to escape, hence in their last aggravation they asked for our help, to ensure a better life for him. Gordon was temporarily placed at the kennel row.

Prezeda has arrived at us from the full house Hajdúböszörmény flaying house, having our first stop with him to the vet, luckily producing a negative heartworm test. His back has serious shortage of hair, skin scraping was taken from him to a breeding check-up, the result of which is hopefully arriving within a couple of days and we can start the necessary treatment. As several dogs have shown the symptoms of colitis at the flaying house, he also received probiotics to anticipate the acute diarrhoea.

Lotni has got to our care from her former family, has undergone neutralization, hence she is absolutely ready to move to an owner. Her would-be family visited her recently several times, getting to know her, letting her time to get used to them and despite her antecedents they decided to make her a family member. She has also met her vizsla mate, this way getting to know her went pretty easy.

Uncle Károly, the 10+ vizsla daddy arrived at our care this summer from the Győr shelter, where he used to lay sad, apathetic in the kennel all day long. At his adoptive he did not really communicate with anyone, was not interested in neither the dogs, nor the people, actually he was not interested in anything, only children managed to make him feel a little bit. By now he became balanced also regarding his psyche and we were quite afraid to believe our eyes when a family contacted us, wishing to adopt him. Their visit proved extremely successful, meaning Uncle Károly found an owner this week!

From among the members of the Sz-litter two puppies of Szegfűszeg, Szlalom and Szimat left us this week to start their new, owned life in their families.

Nené has arrived at our care from the Kisvárda shelter, immediately moving to a temporary adoptive. This week she officially became an owned dog as well – her temporary adoptive decided to keep her, hence only the signature of the permanent contract was left to be done.

The week of Dachshund breed rescue was quite a busy one, but surely the greatest shock was caused by Gombfoci – during his neutralization and hernia operation he turned out to have blood coagulation disorder, needed transfusion to survive…

Luckily the neutralization of our veteran male, Őszapó went without any difficulties, and even though noone are queuing to adopt him, he would be ready to move to a family. Who would like a silent dog to accompany him?

Fifi would love to move to an owner fast, and just not to waste any time if the Real One appears, he also visited the vet to get neutered.

Szuszi has stopped coughing, hence was also neutered, and as a potential owner was waiting for her, she moved as well. Sure, for replacement within the 8-year-old generation we have Fifi, if someone was looking for a similar dog – but this week was Szuszi’s lucky one.

This week Szuszi was not the only elderly dog of ours moving to a family. To our great happiness Lilirex – the Dachshund lady coming to us because her elderly owner moved to an elderly home – moved to accompany a former protected dog of ours, Csongrádi Bobi.

Lütyő, the elderly male moved to Százhalombatta, and even though the first period was taken by a bit of separational barking, his owners did not turn their back on him.

After many rounds of filtering and loads of non-understandable application the real one has also arrived for Levendula, she also got a family in the end – will continue her life under the name of Lola.

Várdai Tücsi does not have to shiver any more at the kennel row – she could leave the place before the great frosts, and though only moving to a temporary owner now, her happiness is endless even this way: warmth, comfort and the most important, love is all around her.

Bohóclány had already been saved by a private animal protector, reacting to an announcement, but could not keep her responsibly – hence the dog got to us, the way she originally could have done so, if we had not been overbid in promises – staying only promises afterwards. Bohóclány got to an adoptive, but is waiting for an owner.

From a breeder, meaning from their owner, their „family” arrived at us six dogs: Jade, the black-tiger mini female, Saphire, the black-tan mini female, Sunshine, the long-haired mini female, Black King, the black-tan long-haired mini male, Morris, the red kaninchen male and Trüffel, the black-tan mini male. Some of them have come neutered, as we have taken care of the operations locally.

At our chanceless mixtures group Athén underwent neutralization to move to an owner finally. She had to wait a lot for this moment, starting from when we took her from the Ajka shelter, but it was worth.

Mit-mitke, the red cat male moved to an owner.

It happens sometimes that due to a helper or adoptive of ours our team grows. This week we had two arrivals like that. One of them is Tapka, the 10-month-old Pekingese mixture male.
