What happened at Futrinka during week 5?

At our vizsla rescue group after a relatively quiet  previous week, we had over an active week. We had more arriving dog, but luckily one of our dogs found an owner.

Kócos Alex, the cirka 10 years old vizsla papa came into our care, because the house was sold, where he lived. He was very distrustful of the people. He dreaded from every move. As far as we know, it was not easy for him. He has been a harrowing past, which fortunately we have not experienced so far. He does not know the leash or collar, he freezes, gets stiff, he still has to do a lot of practices.

Nifi was the another arrival of the week, who come into our care from her previous owner.

Pamacs Petra arrived from Nagykáta’s dog yard into our care at the weekend, after they requested hep from us. Unfortunately, those elder people, who found her and her temporar hosts could not take care of her in the long term. She popped into the garden, as a found dog and the original owner did not apply for her.

Leonie changed temporary host to be ready for her recovery. She will be go over another surgery soon again.

Last week Fityke has been castrated, so he could move to his family.

Princess's eyes had to be remove because of tumor. Fortunately, despite of her old age, she could bear well the surgery. The tumor was in operating condition, so we've been sent to histology and are looking forward to the results. We've been thinking for a long time, what would be the best decision for Princess, but we can breathe now because we know we've made a good decision.

In the dachshund group, unfortunately the week spent with returned dogs. We tried to do everything, that our dogs find right places and families. Always sad and hard to say but we always have some dogs, whoes returned back from owners.

Brutus came back into our care in this week. Our little boy is looking forever home and owner again.

Uno also came back to us. Inspite of we tried to help at the beginings for the owner, unfortunately if the rules are not followed then problems can occur. So it was now. The problems disappeared as soon as he arrived back to us. We hope he  will be much luckier next time as before.

Same situation happened with Ficak. When he arrived to his host, he almost said „I am at home now” you missed me. Now he is also waiting to find his dream owner.

Tea arrived into our care in this week,who is a so kind and lovely girl. She was injured, when a big dog attacked her. Lucky she feels better now and she really hope could be a part of a family soon.

What happened at Futrinka during week 3?

The new year has just started and we have already had a rather difficult week.

Our Basic Activity Group has had a very active week. Quite a lot of dogs have been adopted and new ones have also arrived.

Fagyöngy was the first adopted dog of the year.

Following sterilization Grincs also moved to the new family home.

At the weekend PiciKeksz started life as an adopted dog.

With the help of our foreign partner organization H4P Drótos Vitéz has travelled abroad.

Suddenly in one day on Saturday we had 6 new dogs.

Gesztenyés Tóbiás came to us from his ex-owner and moved to a temporary caretaker.

From the Edelény dog station five dogs came to us around Christmas time. Four of them joined the Basic Activity Group. When our volunteers visited Edelény, they found a pregnant mother and could not forget about this. In the meantime the mother had her baby puppies and our volunteers started to organize the work and arrange their place and at the weekend they came to us. The rescuers gave the name Gida to the mother, the girl is called Gubanc and the boy is called Gubacs.

The ex-kennel partner of Exel, Sydney also arrived to us from the Karcag shelter.

Mylo came to us from the Battonya dog station. His story is not a typical one: his owner hanged him. Luckily he was found very fast and the police were called. For hanging Mylo he got 1.5 years suspended.

Our Pointer Rescue Group has also had an active week. We had visits to the vet, adopted dogs and new arrivals also.

Zorak came to us from his ex-owners. 

Animal rescuers in the countryside asked us to help Szatmári Vilma. And we were contacted by the owner of Pizsi/ ex-Byron, who became her temporary caretaker. The two dogs get on very well and so no surprise that they wanted her to become a permanent member of the family. Now Vilma is officially adopted and the adoption papers have been signed.

The old owner of Soma papa died and he became an orphan at the age of 11. 

Aya and Csokis Süti had negative heartworm tests and were both sterilized.

Manga had a new blood test to see if the results are better now.

RiziBiziLizi came to us from her ex-owners. The reason why she joined us is that she bites people. German pointers require consequential behavior and confidence and her owner was not like that. That is why RiziBiziLizi liked testing the borders.

Bellala joined us coming from the Nyíregyháza Animal Foundation.  She was found earlier and when the owner was found with the chip, they did not want her.

After a long time Cash found an owner and he will get lots of love and an active life.

With the help of our foreign partner, Hands4Paws some dogs left for a better life: Ceglédi Lüszi, Ronja, Ella and with the pups, Lizka and from the pups Január, Március, Április, Május, November.

The Dachshund Group has had a quiet week again.

Lagarder arrived from Battonya. A very shy mixed one-year-old boy with short hair.

This week Ficak moved to a new family. At his arrival everything went very well and we are waiting for news now.

Cupk, the 4-year-old black and brown boy came to us from the ex-owner. At the moment a trainer is dealing with him as he became the manager at home.

He is not easy but we are doing our best to solve the problem.

What happened at Futrinka during week 7?

Week 7, as most of our weeks, was not free neither from happy news nor from sad events.

Rizibizi Lizi`s heart worm test came back negative, so she could be spayed. Now, nothing can hold her back from finding a loving home. We are looking for a family for Lizi, where boundaries and consistent teaching will be part of her life, as well as regular physical exercise.

Leonie has gone under a new surgery, during which, the implants were removed from her jaw and leg.

Over the weekend, Tolsztoj were adopted and began an exciting new chapter in his life.

A new arrival was VizaLiza, who was handed over to us by her previous master.

Our help was requested for two young Vizsla mix dogs, who received the Krókusz and Hunyor names from us. Sadly, Hunyor passed away shortly after he came into our care, likely due to some sort of poison. He was perfectly fine in the morning, he ate, drank and seemed to be in a good spirit, while in the afternoon without any previous signs, he collapsed and passed away. The vets did everything they could to save him.  

Oroszlion from our Chanceless Mix Breed Rescue Group found a new, loving home during the week.

Csekka, the 5-month-old little girl died in the matter of a day ☹ We are terribly sorry that we could not save her.

Positive news, that Gárdonyi Géza found a forever home, where he was received with much excitement and anticipation.

Brutus did not spend a long time in our care. He and his master fell in love with each other almost immediately and so we knew that he had found a forever home.

We received Szóda, a short-coated Dachshund girl, who had had an accident and a serious operation before she arrived in our care. Currently, she is under rehabilitation.

What happened at Futrinka during week 1?

There is a saying that the first day of the new year determines how the rest of the year is going to be spent. Well, every year has been similar at Futrinka since its foundation in 2006. We have been rescuing dogs, transporting them, waiting in doctors` waiting rooms, managing administration, crying in tragedies and smiling when our proteges find loving homes. We can promise you that we are going to do exactly the same in 2018 too with the same dedication and with the aim to help as many pets in need as possible.

In our Chanceless Mix Breeds Rescue Group, we are happy to report that the first doggy that found a loving home in 2018, was Mikos. Sadly, our happiness didn`t last, as a few days later, he was returned in our care. Despite our strict screening process, unfortunately it happens that dogs get returned. Therefore, we cannot stress enough, how important it is to think carefully through the responsibility a new dog means, in order to avoid the situation.

Luckily, the week hasn`t ended without adoption. Hordós Talpas was the happy doggy that found a forever home.

Harley Quinn`s heart worm test came back negative, so she could be spayed. Now, she is ready to find a forever home. We are looking for an active family for HQ that would enjoy the outdoors with a four-legged addition.

In our Vizsla Breed Rescue Group, Fancsi found a forever home during the first week of the year.

Aya was the first newcomer of the year. She arrived from an animal rescue organisation from the town of Nyíregyháza. She has a vaginal prolapse, which needs to be operated. If her blood tests come back with good results, she is going to have the procedure as soon as possible.

A dog shelter from the country side asked for our help for Szatmári Vilma, as she had had a very slim chance to find a forever home locally. After we took her over, we started to look for a fostering family for her, and a former adoptive family took her into its care.

In the meantime, Vakkantó moved from his fostering family to a dog hotel.

The two litters of Lizka and Ellie have grown up nicely, reaching the age of adoption. It was time for the mammies to be tested for hear worms and get spayed.

December, one of Lizka`s babies found a forever home.

The heart worm test of Karácsony Báró came back positive; therefore, we have begun the slow but safe treatment of the disease.

The year started quietly at our Dachshund Breed Rescue Group. Good news that aunty Torta found a forever home. She was a little anxious during the relocation, but she relaxed as soon as she arrived in her new place and saw that she will have a companion dog as well.

What happened at Futrinka during week 2?

The second week of the new year was calm at our Vizsla Breed Rescue Group. Most of our time was dedicated to coordinate finding the homes of those dogs that were lost and found during and after New Years Eve.

Nevertheless, the week wasn’t completely excitement free. A large tumour had grown very rapidly on the side of our veteran, uncle Tücsök. He needed an immediate surgical procedure, which he tolerated very well.

We had two arrivals at our Chanceless Mixed Breeds Rescue Group.

Sybell was found by the master of a former protégé of ours, and because the original owner was not looking for her, we are going to help the doggy to find a new home.

The bone skinny Boni came into our care from his former master, where he lived on a chain. Despite his poor former circumstances, he is an affectionate and endlessly kind dog.

Our Dachshund Breed Rescue Group received several new proteges.

Chili and Bobina are a miniature Wire-Haired Dachshund duo that was returned to us after 7 years. The two couch potatoes are great friends and they are looking for a loving home together.

Ízes was neglected by her former master. She has never experienced lovely walks and as a result, she weighs 13 kg. We got to know and endlessly kind little girl, who is on a special diet now and simultaneously enjoying a fuller, more balanced life with mental and physical stimuli.

It is always difficult to cope when one of our proteges passes away, especially if it is a young little soul that should have had more chance for a better life.

Csokika were handed over to us by his former masters. The reason: difficult to manage. In our care, he received love, attention and care. Sadly, one evening, he got ill. He was taken to the vet, where after IV and different examinations, he felt better. We were happy too soon, Csokika gave up the fight before the morning came. It is devastating that Csokika could experience love and care only for a very short time :(
