What happened at Futrinka during week 12?

Farm-School was launched on Sunday, meaning the dog-school provided for our protégées by Kutyatrening.hu – luckily weather was grateful to us, had a beautiful sunny day. Thanks very much to our trainer, Szabina and our volunteers for learning 5 Sundays with our dogs, this way raising their chances of adoption, also getting precious time dedicated solely for them. We have created 3 groups, each having 5 dogs, meaning hence altogether 15 dogs to be trained. From the base group Ügyes and Panna, from among the vizslas BodzaBori, Füli Gergő, Maximilian, Monodood, Szende, Donika, Maszat, Matifu and Whisky, from the Great Danes Davis, Oberyn, Olivér and Woody participate in the training. Before the course each one of them had a great walk, then practiced binding and establishing eye-contact, also tried the gate-field. Everyone received loads of caressing and juicy bites, it was just a perfect afternoon together.

At the vizsla breed rescue sadly we had to say good-bye again for someone…Bársony Márton just stepped over the rainbow bridge. His previous owner was hospitalized, the relatives asked for our help to take care of Marci. The info declaring he had cancer and needed an immediate operation was just like an ice-cold shower for us, we firmly believed he would be OK. Marci was already much awaited for in Germany by his would-be adoptives, when at a control check-up we received bad news again: he had several metastases in his body. Together with his temporary adoptives we did everything we could to cure Marci, but sadly a long, happy, owned life was not given for him. We are endlessly sad about him leaving – good-bye Marci, nothing hurts you anymore.

Buflák arrived at our care from his former owners because of their move – was placed at a family pension.

Füli Gergő’s routine heartworm test proved negative, he underwent neutralization. He is ready to move to his final family – we only need to find him the sporty dream-owner to adopt him.

During the weekend Kardos had visitors, having such a great time together that he moved to them with an option to stay – if he fits in well, they would like to adopt him.

Brigi arrived at the flaying house of Hajdúböszörmény all skin and bones – from there she came to us with the help of the local foundation. She is most visibly not a vizsla, meaning for her mix-nature no interest was shown in her, stayed almost 1,5 years with us – but during this week she finally made it and became an owned one.

Dilara moved to a temporary adoptive from the dog pension, she is still looking for her final family, a young and good-tempered vizsla mixture girl.

Her brother, Donika moved to the Farm from the dog pension, awaiting the visitors and would-be adopters, would love to find a final family as soon as possible.

Szende arrived at our care as a puppy, has been looking for the dream owner ever since then – during the weekend she moved to the Farm, waiting for the visitors in hope of a nearby adoption, she would really deserve it.

Whisky arrived at the Farm together with Szende, fitted in pretty soon and occupied his new place gladly.

Monododo’s routine heartworm test proved negative, he has also undergone neutralization. This also means he would be ready for adoption – we are only waiting for the dream owner to show up for him.

For BeatRicse animal friends have asked our help, at our care he was placed at a temporary adoptive.

Maszat arrived at us on Sunday, perfectly performing the basic orders: will sit, lie down and shake hands upon the first request. He was a bit shy at the beginning, but a nice long walk, the nice, encouraging words and the juicy bits brought their result, he soon eased up.

Mentőöv Animal Protection Organization asked our help for the vizslas, living at the Bükk National Park. Pufóka Lili is the GSP, Bükki Mogyoró the Hungarian one – they have arrived at our care.

From among the two fungi-affected puppies MiniMóni has already found her loving home on Sunday, AnniPanni is still out on the search for it.

At the Dachshund breed rescue we had a silent week now.

Two dogs arrived at our care.

Sally, the young wire-haired Dachshund mixture lady was found around Pécs, had not been micro-chipped, her original owner has not been looking for her – her found arrived after receiving a request to help. We got a nice, affectionate little girl, likes to be around people. We do hope to report good news on her soon.

The other arrive is Dióda, the 5-year-old wire-haired mixture male, giving out strange noises the first days, but by now has started to settle in in the group.

Brutus fortunately underwent neutralization this week, his plaque was also removed – he is soon getting adopted.

This week a new arrival landed at the Great Danes – another luxury car, Shelby. The story is ever and ever more frequent by now…the dog simply placed in front of the flaying house. The colleagues of this one already know us, immediately called the breed rescue, meaning Shelby moved to us the very same day. This beautiful blue lady is extreme shy, but super nice. She has started her vaccination program.

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.

Mi történt a Futrinka Egyesületnél a 14. héten?

Szombaton az "Adj esélyt!" elnevezésű kampány keretében mélyszegénységben élő gyermekek látogattak el hozzánk a tanyára a Futrinka Egyesület, a Hahet Natural Lifemanship és a VitaHelp Egészségközpont közös szervezésében. Egyesületünk biztosította a helyszínt a lovardával és persze Hercegnővel együtt, illetve egy kiselőadással készültünk számukra a felelős kutyatartásról, Hahet Natural Lifemanship játékos feladatokkal, a VitaHelp Egészségközpont pedig kiselőadással készült számukra a vitaminokról, hatóanyagokról és egy kis útravalót készített nekik, hogy megismerkedhessenek a minőségi tápanyagokkal.

Vizsla fajtamentő csoportunk nagyon eseménydús hetet zárt, gazdisodásokból, érkezőkből és orvosi körökből is kijutott nekünk.

Donika a tanyáról egyik családi panziós befogadónkhoz költözött, itt várja, hogy végleges családra találjon.

A héten Buflák, Bükki Mogyoró és Maszat átestek az ivartalanításon, Monododónak pedig kiszedték a varratait.

Zoelle korábbi tulajdonosaitól került a gondozásunkba, kezelésének költségét nem tudták vállalni, ezért lemondtak róla. Amellett, hogy a hüvelye előre van esve, a méhe is meg van nagyobbodva, átesett a sürgősségi operáción. Sajnos estére nagyon rosszul lett, ezért befogadója rögtön visszarohant vele az orvoshoz. Az éjszakát bent kellett töltenie, de másnap szerencsére elhagyhatta a kórházat.

Lizandosz korábbi tulajdonosaitól került a gondozásunkba, füle és tarkója tele van sebekkel, emiatt hetente háromszor kell fürdetni. Lizandosz ráadásul szívféreg pozitív, így ennek kezelését is meg kellett kezdenünk.

A két gombás baba közül MiniMoni után testvére, AnniPanni is végleges családra talált.

A félős kislány, Csöpp Csilla a múlt heti jól sikerült találkozó után végleges gazdájához költözött, nagyon boldog és felszabadult volt új otthonában.

Külföldi partnerszervezetünk segítségével elutazott családjához: Kinga, Klára, Kata, Funny Girl, Szenilla, Kolompos, Marosi Dana ésKanizsai Virág

A szolnoki állatvédőktől érkezett a gondozásunkba Winn és Wally, másik testvérük sajnos olyan rossz állapotban volt, hogy azonnal kórházba kellett vinni.

Alap tevékenységi csoportunknál Árnyéknak el kellett látogatnia az állatorvoshoz, sajnos nőtt két dió nagyságú puklija, amit meg kellett nézetni. Megszúrtak: az egyikből zsír, a másikból víz jött. Zsírmirigy és ciszta voltak, amit figyelni kell, hogy nem nőnek-e újabbak. A füléből vettek mintát, mert nagyon csúnya váladékos, ennek még várjuk az eredményét, hogy mi okozhatja.

Noruz a hátsó lábait folyamatosan sebesre nyalja és rágja, amint lekerül róla a tölcsér. Az okát sajnos nem ismerjük, így ennek utána kell járnunk. Több vizsgálaton is átesett, az eredményekre még várnunk kell, közben pedig erősítjük a szervezetét.

A német dogoknál a héten nem volt érkezés vagy gazdisodás. Neferához jött nagyon szimpatikus érdeklődő, a találkozó jól sikerült, meglátjuk milyen végleges döntés születik.

A kutyatréning.hu által szervezett Tanya-suli keretein belül dogjaink nagyon ügyesen haladnak a tanulással! Segundo, Oliver, Woody és Davis az iskolás diákok. És ha minden jól alakul a suli végezetével, akár még valaki gazdisodhat is!

Elsőként a múlt héten megrendezett "Sétáltassuk meg gazdikereső tacskóinkat" eseményről számolunk be. Nagyon sokan érkeztek kutya nélkül, így segítségünkre siettek örökbefogadóink is néhány kutyával. Igazán nagy jól sikerült baráti találkozó volt, ahol sétáltunk, beszélgettünk, és nagyokat játszottunk a kutyákkal. Az idő is nekünk kedvezett, és ez a néhány óra nagyon jól telt el. Reméljük legközelebb is velünk tartotok. Köszönjük mindenkinek aki velünk tartott!

Csendes hét volt a tacskó csoportnál, egyetlen kutyánk költözhetett gazdához. River a nyugodt, idősebb kan kutyánt, aki ezentúl egy nyugdíjas hölgy társa lesz.

What happened at Futrinka during week 9?

This week spring has officially started. It is not only about good weather but also about the beginning of a busy period. This week has still been relatively quiet with new arrivals, adopted animals and visits to the vet.

Our basic and special breed rescue groups are looking after some dogs who are over 10 years old and they would like to get a permanent family. When an old dog comes we know that we will not get hundreds of emails asking for them but when we accept them we never consider how easy it is to adopt them. They are souls to be rescued and supported. In February our old dogs got a special attention to have better chances to find families.

At our basic group Árnyék finally had a shower. He did not complain at all under the water. Now his fur is not dirty or smelly and does not have fleas any more.

At our pointer rescue group Chester has been sterilized. Now after the operation he is recovering with his new family as an adopted dog.

Csillag and Bütyök Berci have also been sterilized. However, they are recovering with their temporary caretakers in a dog hotel.  Csillag already has a potential owner, Bütyök Berci is still looking for a dream family.

Valentát was adopted back in 2014 and we were very happy but then last year we got a letter asking us to take her back immediately after years for some strange reason. In November she found a family again and we were shocked when she had to leave again. She cried all the way and is still confused. Fortunately, she could move back to her previous temporary caretakers and we hope that the familiar environment and people can help her to be happy again.

Zserci had a positive heartworm test when he arrived, however, thanks to the slower but safer treatment the next test was negative. And so today he was sterilized and is ready for adoption. We are still looking for a family.

Bengó spent a long time with us but it was worth it as this week he found a family who had been waiting for him very much.

When the two Lottis arrived, their heartworm test was positive but the slower and safer treatment had its results. Luiser had an ultrasound examination today and his best friend, Lotte went with him. The result is negative, his heart arteries are perfectly clean and so he can be sterilized next week. We are ready for adoption. 

AnnaPanni and MiniMoni came from their previous owner. They lived in a cellar and the humid air made them lose some hair in patches due to some fungi infection. They had a detailed examination and skin samples were also taken.

Due to his early stage kidney problem Hókuszpók gets a special type of food and infusion therapy. He could hardly tolerate the busy life of young animals so he moved to another temporary caretaker with pet hotel.

Rezes came to us because the health of his previous owner deteriorated. He is living with an old dog of ours with a temporary caretaker.

Our auction stock is going down so if you have some things new or in a good condition (jewellery, ornaments, doggie things etc.), things you do not need any more, we would be happy to get them. About auction objects please write to futrinkainfo@gmail.com.

This week the dachshund group adopted three special dogs, which made us really happy.

Norman was found with an eye injury. The young boy is very friendly and affectionate and everybody likes him. Unfortunately, his eye could not be saved and had to be removed. We did not expect him to find a new owner so fast.

Fortunately, we were wrong. He was visited twice and did not need to wait for the decision long. Norman has been adopted.

Sacked Frodó was really lucky as he did not even get injured when the ex-owner tied the young dog in a sack to his car. The sack got a hole and the dog sat down next to the road. Then he was lucky again as a very nice family found him and fell in love with him. He spent the weekend with his new family in his new home.

Little Carlos is a small 7-month wirehaired dachshund mixture, who came from an ex-owner. We were not informed that he has ataxia, a nervous system illness. There are wonders, however, as a little girl wanted an injured dog and the parents supported her. He was not the original dog but the personal meeting changed everything. Little Carlos moved to his new family.

Kapor, the young standard short-haired boy from Hódmezővásárhely. He was found without a chip and as the owner was not found, we were asked for help. At the moment he does not get on with boy dogs but we are working on it.
