What happened at Futrinka during week 3?

The group of our chanceless took a dog family at their care during the Christmas season – a family, who had to try living through without a shelter even in the cold, their Mom living her life chained. The chances of staying alive were not so high upon our arrival, we were quite worried on whether we came too late – but luckily with a little help each of the puppies survived and now all of them are just about to find their final homes. Also this week we had someone moving to an owner. Finally the first girl, Kaland left us, continuing her life as a solo dog of a young couple.

Kőris also found his home in the end, also awaited by a loving family – undertaking not only the adoption of the dog, but together with him the troubles and obligations as well. Anyone adopting a puppy must continue their vaccination programme and see to it that around 10 months of age the dog gets neutered.

There are two more waiting for an owner from this breed. Luckily several candidates are interested in Kuckó, but unfortunately the black mixture lady, Krampusz did not manage to steal anyone’s heart so far, not having the faintest info request on herself. Surely, we know that black dogs are cursed regarding their adoption chances, but we do hope that with an emphasized advertisement we manage to find a permanent home for Krampusz while she is still in this sensitive age.

The Karácsony family faced not only adoptions this week, but separation as well. Mom Linda tolerated less and less the grown kids and she was becoming stricter all the time in setting their boundaries. We are worried of her harming a kid of hers, so got her move to the kennel row in Tárnok, waiting for her final owner there, but till then she is extremely happy for anyone taking her for a walk.

The youngster-period – meaning the age of dogs between 5-8 months – also sets the interest regarding adoption back for some reason, who would like to adopt a puppy, considers these dogs not young enough – the ones wishing an adult, being on just the opposite opinion, considering them too young, requiring too much attention and also, as not grown up in a family, but normally at the care of an animal protective organization or some other places, also struggle with socialization deficiencies. Well, Liktor and Luttor, our two Dachshund – terrier mixture youngsters have a long way to go regarding their behaviour, but this week, so that they do not try attempting the top of the hierarchy, they became neutered. This way they are absolutely ready to move – only that certain owner needs to appear in their lives.

From among our adult dogs Mackótestvér, the young jack russel male moved away – even though not to a final owner, but to a temporary adoptive with an option. He will accompany another terrier. We do hope everything goes right with him and soon we can report him as an owned one.

Dachshund breed rescue was trying to stay in balance this week. It is especially important for us to at least keep the level of the risen average number of dogs – caused by the slowdown of adoptions starting in December and at the same time having the number of arrivals growing – as we all arrange the co-ordination, e-mailing, handling issues besides our normal, civil jobs there is clearly a limit to the number of dogs, above which we are not able to take care of them with the necessary efficiency. All in all, it is important. Of course we do not always manage to keep the balance, but the targets are set.

So, let’s get started with the ones moving to owners. Sade, the black-tiger coloured mini Dachshund, arriving from his breeder, found his final home at a former adoptive of ours.

Black King, the long-haired mini Dachshund male has also found his family, living in the XI. district of Budapest from now on. He still has a lot to learn about the world, but in his new home he is given the chance for it.

Elegant, the extremely shy, but beautiful mini Dachshund male also found a new home, with his owners arriving by train from Germany to visit him, then transporting him home. We really cross our fingers that everything goes all right with him, as he was one of the least uncomplicated dogs of ours from the current team.

Sneci took part in a photo shooting last week and the beautiful pictures gave him the chance – visited by a really sympathetic couple, then this weekend moving to them. Sneci, considering his age started his new life according to the adoption procedure regarding puppies.

Luckily the heartworm-test of Sunshine resulted negative, and as by now she is over heating next week she can be neutered – after which she is declared a permanently owned dog. She will not move too far, as her temporary adoptive, being a former adoptive of ours decided on keeping her – together with their two ex-Futrinka protected and one other sourced black-tan, short-haired Dachshund ladies.

Attila, the wire-haired Dachshund mixture male was found during the holiday season in Debrecen – this week he got to our care. Currently he is waiting at a temporary adoptive that we find his permanent home, which according to our hope shall not be too complicated, as Attila is a strong nervous-systemed, nice dog.

Csillagszóró and her puppy, Üveggolyó used to live at a very poor family – we had to take them to our care as they were no longer able to provide the „necessary treatment” to the dogs. We are not really sure what they meant under this phrase, as the dogs lived outside, around a house not even bordered by a fence. They used to lay low where they found some shelter. As Csillagszóró arrived at them as a found dog, we also await news from anyone who had lost a similar dog in Székesfehérvár around 6 months ago. Üveggolyó is 4-5 months old, will grow bigger than a Dachshund, a very nice puppy, of course also waiting for a loving owner.

Unfortunately the week finished pretty bad at the Great Danes. On Friday we gladly informed everyone on Morton Báró moving to an owner, but by Sunday he was back at the kennel row. Even before this occasion we were accused many times on asking the would-be adoptive too many questions, but looks like this is not enough either. Morton is awaiting his loving, FINAL family!

At our vizsla breed rescue the most important stories of the week were evidently the movings, several of our troubled – fate protected ones could move to families.

Some time ago we happily informed you on Gordon finding his final owner. Our happiness did not last long, though, as he got back to our care for his strong separation fear. More precisely to his ex-temporary adoptive, who decided to keep him – forever! We have even signed the adoption agreement with them. Also as a temporary adoptive they were hesitating on adopting him permanently, but then decided on letting him go and help our activities further as temporary adoptive. But Gordon’s fate became different, could not even have gone better! He feels himself fantastically and his family is still helping our work, as a protected one of ours is again docked at them temporarily.

Zémona got back to our care after an unsuccessful ownership, because of her strong separation fear – after this there was no interest in her at all for a long time. Till now! Zémona could move to a loving family this week!

The first owned puppy of T-breed is Tabita, very much awaited by his owners, the whole family gathering together upon his arrival, all of them being interested in the newcomer.

Of course the week could not have gone by without arrivals – the old owners of Peták have passed away, he stayed alone in the yard – the family asked for our help in his placement. In his life so far he did not go beyond the yard, but a very interested and positive personality as for our experiences so far with him. Temporarily he was placed at the kennel row.

Lady baba got to the Egyek flaying house after the death of her owner. She does not understand it yet what is happening around her, a very shy nature. Everything is new for her, travelling in a car and living inside the flat as well. She was placed at a temporary adoptive.

Málnika got to our care from her owners, for the reason of moving abroad. She was placed at Dog Garden dog pension, immediately fitted in, loves playing, running around, hence she has a chance now to fulfill her great need for moving.

Kubu was found by the Balassagyarmat animal protectors with serious wounds. His head injury was surface, but one of his eyes was damaged irreversibly. He underwent an operation during which his wounded left eye was removed. Kubu moved to a temporary adoptive and is looking for a permanent one, loving him even with this deficiency.

Our Association was invited this week to a programme on FixTv, starring Vajda, our roll-chaired GSP. Vajda’s temporary adoptive and our Association’s chairman talked about Vajda’s condition, everyday life and his search for an owner. You can watch the complete live interview under the following link:

Thanks to Vauvau professional dog photo – Kiss Csanád photographer again perfect, professional studio photos were made on several protected dogs of ours. Zémona, Peggy and our two honorary vizsla, Tompi and Rücsök, the fox terriers were the models. They started a little bit shy, but Csanád managed to bring their most beautiful faces out.

What happened at Futrinka during week 2 of 2016?

It is always a great happiness for us to have our dogs photographed at a studio, and the appearance of the team of Vizslafotózás in our dogs’ lives besides VauVau Stúdió, being the „official” Futrinka photographer was an extra pleasure – as a good photo may even get a dog adopted. Even though this time the emphasis was not on our dogs, but on the wedding dresses, besides each one of which a dog of ours was acting as a model. The lucky ones, contributing this way to the intimate-atmosphered photos were: Bohóclány, Sneci, Fahéj and Jim Beam. To be really elegant in the pictures they could also wear black-white-golden coloured collars, offered by ManuQCollar. We thank also them!

 

At the Dachshund breed rescue group besides the photo shooting other happenings also took place.

After a long-long period of time Iglo, the mixture male found his home – back in the distant past he was saved with his Mum and brothers from a gullet. Iglo spent the first half of his life at an owner, but then returned to us. (Unfortunately statistically there is always one member of a rescued breed, who is not too fortunate for the first occassion, getting back to us later even if given for adoption after the most thoroughful procedure.)

 

Though Berzsián only arrived last week, at the beginning of this one he returned to his original owner. It was absolutely obvious that the wire-haired male landing at us was actually Főnök, the hunting dog from Velence, already looked for.

 

We also had a lot of things to worry about this week, as several of our dogs was waiting for their neutralization to be done. The most risky one was that of Sacka, our veterane Dachshund lady – at her case the complete breastline had to be removed because of her breast tumours, at the same time carrying out her neutralization. Though the day following the operation she did not feel that good, but slowly she is recovering – which is also great news as a family would like to get to know her, with an adoption request.

 

Fifi also had to operated with breast tumours, but in her case we decided on the local removal of these. All the six removed tumours were sent to histology – we are still waiting for the result, but meanwhile we know it for sure that Fifi does not have to wait long for the real one, as a helper of our German partner organization has indicated his wish to adopt her.

 

Also neutered, but fortunately without tumours, just getting his ears cleaned was Sade, the special-coloured mini Dachshund – at the same time moving to an owner, to accompany a former protected dog of ours.

Actually it would be just great if we could finish our report at this point, as currently we are struggling with a complete lack of places, having a lot of dogs at our care – but we also had new arrivals this week. Dikics was found in Maglód, leashed in front of a shop, but noone took him away from there – this way we took him. The adult mixture male is looking for his original owner yet.

 

We took Nagy Feró, the tiny and extremely nice Dachshund male from a partner organization – currently he is learning the rules of living in a flat at a temporary adoptive and would love to find himself a permanent one soon.

 

It was also a partner organization asking for our help regarding Stacy – we regularly take dogs from the Füzesabony animal protectors, hence also said yes in this case. Her introduction became a quite sanguine one, as wanted to liquidate all the dogs of the family temporarily taking care of her – but by now she smoothly integrated in the group.

Anyone who would not love an old, with males dominant, otherwise clean-blooded parson russel terrier male, having a tumour on his chest as well? Well? That is how we got Jack Murphy, undergoing the operation and neutralized as well, the result of histology also arriving – luckily it was a benign tumour, often appearing at terriers, this time causing a tennis-ball size bulge on his chest. Jack Murphy would like to become a solo dog, so far he lived at a kennel, does not really know the noises of the city, the same is true for living in a flat – but he hopes to find a temporary or permanent adoptive, wishing to make his life more beautiful.

Bell, the six-month-old Irish Setter lady arrived at us from a countryside family, being the „waste”, as her tail is shorter than that defined in the standard – this way she could not be sold. Bell is wormed to such an extent that at the car she was actually vomiting worms. We have started her parasite-freeing, guessing this unlucky tiny little creature had nothing like that so far…Of course she does not have vaccinations either, anyone surprised at it?

From the Karácsony family, two guys could move to owners this week. Káosz, the black-and-white boy continues his life in Sopron with a young couple.

Kréta stayed close to Budapest, learning the rules of life also by a young couple and hopefully living a long and happy life.

Each week during 2016 we would like to get one of our protected ones emphasized, a kind of „owner-searcher of the week”. The first dog getting a possibility for that is Mackótestvér, the wire-haired jack russel terrier male, arriving at us from a breeder. Mackótestvér is not an easy case, as he used to spend the first part of his life at a kennel, together with a lot of other terriers, hence his socialization is quite gappy: he does not walk nice on the leash, is afraid in every new situation, does not know the city noises and so on. Mackótestvér is showing signs of dominancy with other dogs and is unambiguously hunting cats and other animals – this way cannot accompany them. We would prefer to give him for adoption as a solo dog, to a place where his initial strong fears could be resolved, his lacks made up for and despite all his handicaps he is loved. We do hope 2016 will be his year and it brings him the so much awaited owner.

From the Great Dane breed rescue Gargi, the grey puppy moved to a temporary adoptive. 

This week was really a busy one at our vizsla breed rescue group, shadowed by two sad pieces of news. Lencsilány and Földvári Liza lost their battles against tumours and passed away. Földvári Liza did so as an owned dog, her temporary adoptives deciding on adopting her, but Lencsilány deceased as our protective.

Toma left the kennel row behind to move to a family pansion. Her routine heartworm test resulted negative, this way she could also undergo neutralization.

This week Szidi, also having a negative-resulted heartworm test, underwent neutralization.

Csirik arrived at our care last April from the Csongrád flaying house, the routine heartworm test being positive – after the longer, but more reliable treatment his repetitive test resulted negative, hence he could undergo neutralization. The operation went well, this way no objection may appear preventing this beautiful vizsla mixture boy from becoming owned.

Tompi, our honorary vizsla also became neutered. During the operation everything went all right, he is recovering at his temporary adoptive’s home.

After her leg-operation our honorary vizsla protected dog, Péntek fortunately underwent another, 4-hour-long operation, during which her breasts were removed and she became neutered. Fortunately the operation went well, the evening she could spend at the family pansion with her adoptive.

This week the T-puppies and their Mum got the next vaccination according the their programme.

From among the T-breed following Tepertő, Ted could also move to a temporary adoptive this week, he will spend his days with a rabbit until finding his final owner.

This week Elizon visited Zöld Kutya Karolina dog-cosmetics, and thanks to Anna Kenyeres dog cosmetician she became really beautiful. She enjoyed caressing very much, the result being just amazing.

This week we gladly spread the word on Kávé finding a long-awaited owner. Our happiness was not a long one, as after a couple of days he got back to our care. Kávé is again at his adoptive at the family pansion, the happenings worn him pretty much.

Most of the B-puppies have found their owners fast, but for two of them, Baksa and Bekő no requests arrived. From among them Baksa was the lucky one moving to an owner this week.

This week three of our protected dogs could travel to their new homes thanks to our foreign partner organizations: Ajúr, Wizzy and Danka.

We had two arrivals this week – Vencel was most likely rescued in the last minute by the Füzesabony animal protectors. Thanks to them he arrived at our care, being now safe at his adoptive.

Puffer, the approximately 10-year-old vizsla male arrived at our care from his owners. He used to live in a flat also before, now they are trying to move as much as possible with his temporary adoptive to get his overweight disappear.

Our Association believes in co-operation, having a good relationship with several Hungarian organizations. It happened lately that we received from our German partner organizations more lower-quality, but for feeding absolutely suitable dogfood than we could use in foreseeable time – hence we decided to ask the help of some of our supporters so that 10-12 sacks of this food arrives to several shelters in need, as we know it could mean a lot. The first sacks are already on their way to the Vahur Menhely in Ajka, the Humán Állatvédők in Pápa, the Siklósi Állatvédő Egyesület and the Ugat-lak Alapítvány of Kisvárda. Thanks very much for the transportation help!
