Since 2012 many many hundreds of Vizslas have been surrendered to the charity. The dogs featured here are just a small selection of our favourite success stories, as well as a few of the ones that really tugged at our heart strings. Please come back often to see updates – we have quite a backlog to upload!
Success stories
RUBY ROO – This 11 year old girl came into our care after her owner sadly passed away. Ruby has a lovely vocal range (think opera singing Beagle!) and loves to practice her gentle yowling. Despite her senior years she was definitely NOT ready for the quiet life and is now a seasoned canicross expert who regularly runs half marathons with her wonderful adopter and her new brother Paddy.
Cheeky ‘PUPPY’ – Yes, that’s her real name. And yes, she IS a Vizsla. Well, a half Vizsla. Her other half is Malinois – that’s French for ‘Don’t Get One’! A feisty and sparky adventure dog who was adopted by one of our welfare officers and now spends her days mountain biking and swimming and climbing trees and just generally getting into all sorts of rowdy mischief!
MAJESTIC TED – This handsome big chap stayed with one of our expert trainers for a couple of months and then went to live with one of our repeat adopters where he now spends half the year sampling the country’s best campsites in a luxury motorhome (and occasionally sampling a pilfered steak pie too!) Even the best dog occasionally forgets their manners, right?
DRIVEY DUKE – This super-bright half wire boy is now a working conservation scent detector dog on Orkney and is definitely living his best life…
WALTER ‘FISH’ – This lovely boy grew up on a canal boat and absolutely LOVES to swim. Of course we had to find him a new home where he can do just that almost every day…
COPPER, TINY, DOODLE, PERCY, and FRITZ – It’s not every day we’re asked to rehome a litter of puppies! These wee guys really kept us on our toes…
BEAUTIFUL BELLA – It’s not very often we’re asked to rehome a 15 year old dog, and this girl is a real sweetie…
WONDERFUL RUSTY – This boy spent nearly two years in kennels before we sprung him out and got him into foster…
LUCKY LOKI – This unusual looking but very sweet boy (on the right) waited months to find his perfect home…
FRETFUL VAZ – A very happily Failed Foster who found his forever home by accident…
BOUNCY TACO – This energetic boy previously found it hard to relax and chill out, just look at him now…
SLIM SHADY – Yes, his name really is Shady! Lovely goofy young boy who spent a long time in kennels before we found him his first ever real home…
HANDSOME DOODLE – A reformed character after a short stint in ‘rehab’ training then several months of foster with one of our Welfare Officers…
ADORABLE ATTI – Short for Atticus, this five month old lad was one of the youngest pups we’ve been asked to rehome. He’s now a gorgeous big hunk…
FEISTY FLYNN – A grumpy old man who was very set in his ways and who came back to us twice before finding his happy-ever-after…
