This rescue is run by the national breed club, the United Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla Association (www.uhwva.com ). Our mission is to aid Wire-Haired Vizslas who have been abandoned to shelters, picked up as strays, or surrendered to the rescue program by owners who can no longer care for them. We are supported entirely by donations, and therefore welcome/appreciate any donations of funds or supplies. In our first year, we placed two female Wire-Haired Vizslas in need. Both are now happily living in their new forever homes. Rory and Holly,(below)  both successfully rehomed in 2008. Fortunately, we do not get many dogs into rescue, due to the small numbers of Wire-Haired Vizslas in this country, but we do sometimes have a dog who needs a new home. If you feel adopting an adult dog would be the right choice for you, please feel free to fill out the application for adoption on the UHWVA website (www.uhwva.com) Also, if interested in volunteering your time to foster, transport, or evaluate a dog, get in touch with us as well and request a volunteer application. There are many ways in which you can help by volunteering in the area of your expertise.  We always welcome support to help us achieve the goal of safely rehoming dogs in need. We welcome donations of supplies, or monetary donations to our rescue funds. We also get a percentage of all sales if you choose our club for your chosen rescue when buying cool dog toys on www.helpingudders.com . Be sure to choose the United Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla Association  as your recipient of the donations when requested during the order process.(you'll find us listed under Vizsla in the Rescue list )   For any rescue related inquiries, please feel free to contact me: Carolyn DeFiore UHWVA National Rescue Coordinator hwvizsla@yahoo.com 517-357-4578

On occasion, because of our connections with the Vizsla world,  we hear about smooth Vizslas needing homes.

Below is Reggie, a 2 yr old neutered male (smooth coated) Vizsla needing rehoming. He has not had field training, but is very "birdy" and would probably make a wonderful hunting and family companion. Hes been raised with children and gets along fine with them. He is housetrained, crate trained and up to date on all vaccines etc. He is a typical Vizsla and is a high energy dog who needs someone who is willing to train, spend time with him, and give him lots of attention and exercise.

  If interested, contact me at hwvizsla@yahoo.com  for an adoption application.

"Reggie" has now been adopted by a wonderful family here in MI.!! Thank you to all those who expressed interest, and those who aided us in placing him into a new home.
