What happened at Futrinka during week 24?

This week the volunteering team of Citi Magyarország visited our kennel row again. They took several of our protegees for a long walk, some also taking a bath in the stream. Everyone got nicely tired, but the team stayed with us to fix sun-shades to the kennels. We thank them all very, very much.

Besides we also received material donations from them: dry dogfood, vitamins and a pair of claw scissors.

Thank you all very much for being here!

For this week we received an invitation from the Széchenyi István Vocational and High School of Százhalombatta to keep a presentation with Rugó, we surely accepted it. The age group was a bit elder than usual, we talked to 17-18-year-old students about life at Futrinka, within that the chanceless mixtures. Luckily many students already knew us, some of them even visited the kennel row to take our dogs for a walk. Thanks a lot for their teacher, M. Viktor for the invitation and the organization.

A dog arrived in a shocking condition to the care of our base group. Auntie Parfüm was found by one of our helpers near Surány. She barely has some hair, though even this way full of fleas and had a wounding tumour on her back. She was hospitalized, immediately operating her inflammed womb full of cysts out, also freeing her of her back tumour. We are waiting for her histology results yet. Parfüm is most likely to have demodex, we have started her treatment. She could already leave the hospital, having only a pansion-place now, but we are looking for a temporary adoptive for her. Theoretically she is owned, but someone letting his dog reaching a state like that simply cannot be considered an owner…

We took a harrassed Dachshund mixture male from the animal protectors of Szerencs, he would have been our hundredth Morzsi, hence we registered him under the name of Mozi. He was placed at a temporary adoptive, caring him with lots of love instead of the hits he had received previously. It would be great if he could get owned fast, has really suffered a lot for that.

We were expecting the PCR-result of Aunt Monki for this week, as during the check-ups microfilaria were found in her blood, but due to some type of confusion her sample was lost. We have to repeat her check-up…

Finally Christmas is also over at us! The last member of Karácsony litter left us, Kaland-Holly got adopted finally. We do hope to hear only positive news of this team from now on, they all deserve happiness.

Dachshund breed rescue had a quite busy week now. Besides the arrivals unfortunately we have a several-time returnee as well, but to have some positive news also, someone is likely to get owned.

In the beginning of the week we received a young Dachshund mixture male from Eger, still having a lot to learn, as from his pre-life unfortunately a lot of things have just been left out.

Cakkoska was found by one of our adoptives in Kaposvár, lying between the road and the railway lines in a shock, wounded. The nice, 4-5-year-old short-haired Dachshund mixture female was not micro-chipped, her wounds were operated. For 14 days she is looking for her original owner, was placed at a temporary adoptive.

Her original owner showed up for Rosé, the mini wire-haired Dachshund female, arriving at us last week. With the necessary documentation he proved to be the owner, also testified by Rosé: was running to greet her family upon their car’s arrival. We tried to call the owner’s attention to take better care of his dog, as this case could have had a worse ending as well. We do hope he will accept our suggestions. The tiny wanderer could already spend the night in her original home.

Zsuzsu, the always smiley wire-haired blonde Dachshund mixture lady became a candidate for ownership this week, soon will move to a beautiful place.

Unfortunately we also had a returnee this week, Túrás is not that lucky in getting owned. We do hope he does not have to wait long for a final and perfect owner.

The beloved owner of Perje, the 3-year-old wire-haired Dachshund male passed away a year ago, the family not being able to take care of him due to their other engagements – this way they asked for our help in his placement, we are looking for the real one for him.

Ámika, the 2-3-month-old Dachshund mixture lady arrived at our care from Füzesabony. We have started her vaccination program and do hope everything is going to be all right with her…and that soon we can give further pieces of news on her.

At our vizsla breed rescue the week was mainly about vet visits and the related organizational tasks behind, with several of our protegees involved: heartworm tests, lab blood tests and neutralizations took place.

The routine heartworm tests of Kartal and Horáció proved negative, hence both of them underwent neutralization. Everything went well during the operation, they are recovering at their adoptive’s home.

Juna’s routine heartworm test proved positive, in her case we have to start the treatment against it.

Doktor úr found a loving home in the beginning of the week, will be part of a lot of hiking and love.

Lesifüles got to our care from his previous owners, took part in a general medical check-up after his arrival, having his eyes inflammed, his leg wounded. During the lab check-up he turned out to have skinworms, we have to start his treatment on this.

The Mom of E-family, Elvira produced a negative result at her routine heartworm test, meaning she could undergo neutralization. The operation went all right, she is recovering at her temporary adoptive’s home.

As for the plans the playground of Muki-family should have been completed in the beginning of the week, but fate meant it otherwise: the driver carrying the base materials got sick and had to be taken to hospital. We wish him a fast recovery!

In the end the playground was completed in the second half of the week, thanks very much for Bau-Styl Kft construction material trade for donating the materials, their colleagues for the organization, the parents adopting the puppies for the fitting up and completion!

Several of our protegees got a lab blood test: Csocsó, Csupi, Maximilian, Bendi, Bengó and Filkó, for their results we need to wait some days more.

Édi got to our care from his owners, was placed at a family pansion. He is said to be a quite fleeing-type, meaning our most important task now is to ensure his secure life and forming his bonding to people.

Sam and Sofi got to our care from the animal protectors of Füzesabony, they were quarantined by us. We do trust the following weeks will go by peacefully and the tiny ones do not have to fight diseases.

Uncle Tücsök had a medical check-up, unfortunately it is still not known what causes his trembling and falling over during walks. Physical signs could not be tracked, a lab was prepared, but that also does not serve a reason for his condition. We must detect the cause, hence he goes on a CT and ultrasound next week, he is unfortunately very poorly.

Pili left us during the weekend to move to his final family. He continues his life in a loving family, will be moving a lot and lead an active life.

To our Great Dane breed rescue an old-time protegee returned this week.

Pepe, our Futrinka-rutinous GSP mixture returned to owner-seeking life after two and a half years owned. Back then he was at our care for one and a half years, since then got white and a bit toddlerly. He has never been a problem-free dog, but we trust a dream family also awaits him somewhere, providing him love and comfort for his elderly years.
