I feel like I have seen a lot of Vs in rescue lately. Maybe someone on here is considering another addition...

ADOPTED!!! Lukin - 11 month old male in PA area
His owners couldn't train or exercise him enough so they put him into rescue. They were also moving.
The rescue would like to place him locally - PA, NJ or northern Delaware

This is heartbreaking. These dogs are smart, but can you imagine how confusing and sad all of this must be for them? They get attached to their humans quickly, and then... :'( :'(

And another one...
(When I saw this one I had dmak in mind as he's hoping to add to his pack. Not sure how far of a drive from Louisiana though.)

ADOPTED? (Post deleted) 2 year old female in Jonesboro, Arkansas (FREE TO GOOD HOME!)
The current owners are looking for a new home for her as they moved and need to reduce the number of dogs that they have. She had pups last year and has not been spayed. Up to date on shots and good with kids per their listing.

It's very upsetting to see how many V's are in need of new homes...

I believe a lot of people do not research the breed prior to getting a puppy or may be don't realize how much work/ exercise it takes to make V happy.

Texas V rescue currently has 9 dogs for adoption, just a few months ago they did not have any....

The New Hope Vizsla Rescue in PA was contacted regarding 4 this week alone. Including one from a breeder.

I'm going to try to keep posting adoptable Vs on here with hopes of members or other people just stopping by the site considering adopting a V. I know we all like to think there aren't many in rescue but there really are a lot more than most of us realize. And a lot of them are young.

The Mrs has decided that we have to wait 3 monthes to bring another member to our fold (we're moving cross country). :( she doesn't want to drive 2500 miles with 2 high energy dogs in the cab of the moving van. (Can't blame her) I may bite the bullet and get one anyways. We're only 7-8 hour drive from Arkansas and Roswell GA. Lets hope I van twist the Mrs arm

I see these beautiful dogs and its hard to resist.
Having three Vs already, I know I can't offer a home to a fourth, but it sure is tempting.

dmak, just tell the Mrs that you're breaking her in for this cross country drive and then drive her on up to get that pup. Once she sees those gorgeous eyes she won't be able to resist.

I specifically looked in Louisiana for you and (luckily) I didn't see any Vs available.

I wish it was that easy. Surprisingly, I've not come across a single vizsla the last few years we've been in new orleans. Kauzy, for all I know, has never met another v. Its all about labs, catahoula's, curs and gsp's down here. Whenever I go to the hunt lodge or the local gundog club, Kauzy is overly admired by all.

ADOPTED? (Page deleted) Rex - Adult neutered male in Carrollton, GA
His family has grown in size since when he was "adopted" so they are looking for a new home for him. The family has also recently rehomed their other 2 dogs so they are motivated to find him a home where he will not be the only dog.

ADOPTED? (Page deleted) Nuka - Adult spayed female vizsla/weim mix in Glen Elynn, IL
Her current owner adopted her and believes she has a "dominant personality" which has begun to stress out their V by her "bossy" tendencies. Owner states that she is good off leash but needs a strong owner to train her.

I foster dogs for Show Me Vizsla Rescue, and this is a great thread. I hope it stays around. I thought that I would throw our link up here just as a plug, if nothing else.

http://showmevizsla.homestead.com/R1.html

If you click on female vizslas up for adoption, you will see that Bertha is still up on the website. She has since been adopted (the tech gal hasn't taken her down yet off of the website.)
What's great about Bertha is that she is a 9 year old and some dear heart in California adopted her. They are going to work on her becoming a therapy dog. It's awesome. We also have a link on her page with a short video of her on a pigeon. Did just awesome.
Our club also found a home for a 12 year old Vizsla. Folks who take these older dogs are angels.

Anyways, Meghan Tallman is our rescue coordinator and is also a regional coordinator for a few other states. Her family brought over some of the very first registered vizslas to the US. She is a dear friend and a great gal. Either one of us can be contacted further about any questions about rescues in the Kansas/Missouri area.

Thank you!
It's rather heathbreaking at times, and gratifying at others. Placing dogs is a great experience, when everything just "fits". I hope we can continue to keep this thread around, possibly request it be a "sticky" so that we can all continue to help vizslas in need.

Just to bump this to the top...
Yesterday, I got a message on facebook from a friend on facebook that there was a 1 year old female vizsla at the vet that was scheduled to be put down today at 830 AM. I called the contact information and there wasn't any answer. Another person in our rescue group, got a hold of the contact information and gave it to me. I called the vet clinic and they told me that yes, they did have the dog, and they would release the dog to me, if I could get there by five. It was about an hour and forty five minute drive, and so I started to head that way. I picked her up at ten til five.

I took her to my vet, and we are currently getting her spayed, heartworm tested etc. Basically her back story is that she is an escape artist and keeps getting out of her kennel run. ( I was told she can climb a 10 foot fence) The previous owners just decided that they didn't want to deal with it anymore and told the vet to keep her.
She is a sweet affection energetic dog. I would foster her but cant because of the litter we have on the ground... But she is in our program now, and will be fostered in a safe, nice home.
