What happened at Futrinka during week 11?

As each year, we were invited this year as well to the Family Day on 15^th March, which was held in the Buda Castle. This time, you could meet us on Szentháromság (Trinity) square, where you had the chance to greet some of our protégés, such as Smiley, Sima Sári, Bubu, Sánta Pajtás, Daikiri, Delia, Drótos Hugó and Zserci. We had a great atmosphere throughout the whole event and we thank you all who came to see us there.

Sima Sári, the protégé of the Vizsla Breed Rescue Group had her X-Ray picture taken and she had ultrasound examination as well. Her laboratory results were good, her lungs are clear, but unfortunately her ovaries and breasts are full of tumors. She will need multiple surgeries to remove them, but first she has to get stronger and put on a few kilos. In spite of Sári`s good appetite, she weighs only 14 kg.

Monorocky`s routine test for Heart Worm Disease came back negative, which means that he is ready to be re-homed, we only have to find the perfect family for Rocky.

Tony Montana instantly found the way to our hearts. He left the farm this week and temporarily moved in with our former protégé, Demény, his family and flock of dogs. As his accommodation is only temporary, Tony Montana is looking for a forever home. Anyone, who is interested in this lovely Vizsla boy, should send us a query to magyarvizslasos@gmail.com.

When Lotte and Luiser came into our care, their tests for Heart Worm Disease were positive, but as the result of the slow but safe treatment, finally they both are free of the worms! The two girls are now ready for their forever homes, and our job is to find them. Lotte and Luiser wish to find a home where they can stay together and they are waiting for the e-mails of those who are interested in the duo on magyarvizslasos@gmail.com.

During this week, from our Chanceless Mix Rescue Group, Palota Péter was the lucky one who changed the kennel to a couch. We received word that Péter had fitted right in the city life without any problems. The masters reported that he learns new things easily and he is very clever. We heard that, although first Péter thought that it was strange that sounds and light came out from the magic box, he is not afraid of the television anymore 😊

Have a happy life lovely little Péter.

This week we said good bye to Stihl with heavy hearts. Losing her made a sad imprint on our entire week. Although she was 14 years old, she was such a character that never left us wondering what her opinion was about anything. Her distinctive personality is going to be missed. The old lady came into our care in October 2016. We hope that she felt our love and care throughout the years that she spent with us.

We will never forget you, dear Stihl.

Korom was returned to us, he was unlucky with his adoptive family. We know that he has separation anxiety, but that is exactly the reason why he stays in a crate in the house of his temporary family. He is used to the crate because he feels safe in it. Therefore, it is important that an adoptive family takes our advice about how to handle a re-homed dog as we have extensive knowledge in the area and gained experience with each dog. Sadly, often our advice is ignored. As a result, Korom had to lose his new home and is back to square one, looking for a loving family.

We are hoping, that there will be a family, who can see past the problem, learns to manage it, and discovers that Korom is an amazing and lovable dog. 

There were some happy news too this week, as some of our dogs found loving homes.

One of the lucky dogs was Tejföl, who was adopted by an English lady who has Hungarian ancestors. The lady works from home, so they can enjoy each other`s company a lot and Tejföl will not be left alone too often.

We wish them a very happy life together. 

Old Timer came into our care from the city pound of Illatos út in Budapest. He is a 13-year-old Dachshund mix boy, who, due to poor health, made us seriously worried this week. Finally, he got better and not just that but lucky too, because one of our donors wanted to adopt him. As soon as Old Timer`s health allowed it, he moved into his new and forever home, where he currently lives as an appreciated and loved member of the family.

We wish him many amazing years by the master`s side.

During this week, Kis Bence as well moved to a new home. As soon as he entered the house, he knew instantly that he arrived home and selected the most comfortable couch for himself as his little station for relaxing. He behaved incredibly well, almost like it became clear for him, that he is a re-homed doggy now, who has to live up to the masters` expectations.

We wish Kis Bence a long and very happy life in his new family.

Cathy, our little doggy who enjoys the company of large dogs, also found a forever home this week. On Sunday, she moved in with her new family, where she will be loved to pieces.

We wish little Cathy all the best from the bottom of our hearts.

Cudar was also re-homed on Sunday. The young doggy has much to learn, of which his new masters are aware. Therefore, Cudar will be enrolled to an obedience course, where he can learn the most important things.

Be a very good and smart boy Cudar, and appreciate the care and love you receive from your new family.

Jolanda, a small Dachshund girl came into our care, after she was found by animal lovers. She was in poor health, thin and tormented and her puppies were nowhere to be found. Currently, we are helping her to recover, which we hope will not take too long.

Kamilla, the 5-year-old black and tan Dachshund girl came into our care from the city pound of Etyek. Her eyes reflected fear from the uncertainty when she arrived at Futrinka. Luckily, she got along with all the other dogs instantly, which helped her relaxing. After the first night, she seemed much more calmer and less scarred. Soon, we will post some news about Kamilla.
