2010 Rescue Success Stories!

Jackson #1  

A lucky boy for sure. An owner surrender, he was very very thin  and needed some medical care before being adopted. He learned that life could be a lot of fun. Erica and Bryan kindly fostered him for a couple of months while he recuperated from both neutering as well as what all concerned thought was a heart condition. A trip to NCSU (thanks Erica) confirmed that he probably has a functional murmur and should live a happy life. He has been  adopted by Christy and Ken who have set out to spoil him beyond belief.

Jackson #2 and Odie

These boys were of a pair that Rescue was called to investigate.They were found wandering down a dirt road (so the report states), turned into one of the best shelters around (they promptly contacted us)! Scott  and Tiffany W. did the  honors (said boys did well at their house overnight and then got them to the foster homes...and now adopted! One boy went to nurse in NC (thank you Penny R. for doing the footwork there). She has another older V named Reagan and apparently he is happy with his young new friend. The second one went to a young woman who had recently lost her V of 16 years and on a whim between meetings, called us! She agreed to foster (haha), Odie is happily keeping Karen L. and her mom company. Could not ask for a better outcome.

Addie

Addie went to a wonderful couple in the NC. pools, the lake, birthday parties and assorted other wonderful things, not to mention  a great playmate, Hudson ~ Busted! while getting to know each other better!

Okie

Okie was one of a pair of females that VCC Rescue was contacted to find homes for. Okie is now happily living it up with a family in NC, and her buddy Will.

Marley (a most popular name now).

Chris called and tearfully  said he had to rehome his  4 yr. old dog, Marley that he had raised from a pup and had contemplated several venues but decided that Vizsla Rescue was the way to go. He has since said thank you so many times because he knows Marley has a good home...not to mention another dog to run with. That would be Titan, another lucky boy, from the pound. The picture shows the happy family with of course, Marley rarin' to go! What else, he IS a Vizsla!!!

Buddy

Suzette & Dale made an application to adopt another Vizsla through VCC Rescue. Buddy just happened to be available and a great fit for them! He is now part of a 2 V - 2 Lab household... latest news is he loves the water!

Cody

If I didn't know any better, I would say that our beloved dog Max even planned the way he wanted to die. Although Max was a Vizsla mix, he epitomized the phrase 'velcro dog'.

There was not a day in his life that Max was not there to help me bring in groceries, small pieces of dirty laundry, and pick up items off the floor.  Ultimately, on Monday, April 20, 2009, Max died in my arms.  Hold off the tears, because this story does have a happy ending!
 
Somehow, by August of 2009 I managed to talk my husband into adopting another Vizsla or Vizsla mix.  Although my husband Greg loved our dog Max, he couldn’t help but remember how we had to deal with Max’s severe separation anxiety.  Our home and furniture still show the very scars that Max left behind as a reminder.  I got in touch with the Vizsla Club of the Carolinas and we began the process to adopt another four-legged friend into our home.

 After several months of communicating back and forth and making unsuccessful trips to area shelters we were all beginning to think that maybe it was just not meant for us to have another pet in our home.  Little did we know that by responding to an e-mail message the week before Christmas our wait would be over!  On December 26, 2009, we welcomed Cody  into our home!  Although this story does have a fairy tale ending, it is not without its share of not so very fairytale-like daily challenges.  There were potty training issues, learning to behave indoors, getting along with the rest of our pets, not swallowing our food and water in 2 seconds flat, etc...However, we are amazed at how far Cody has come – he is by far the smartest, friendliest and most understanding dog that we’ve ever fallen in love with!
