>> There is a Vizsla Rescue of Texas facebook page that should be able to give you info on getting him in it. Â Does the dog have to be homeless or in a shelter before they will take him? Â That may be the case in a few days if a new home isn't found.
@boxerx3: my guess is that they are short on fosters long on puppies. At least that's the case either the rescue I work with
@Lola is the same for y'all right now. One of my foster fails came from the owner dumping him and his room mate at her vet's office. PS NOT a good idea- it happens too frequently and the vets are not home finders. At that time there was a foster for one and room at a kennel we use in emergencies. I got involved seeing a plea for fosters on FB. They were both seniors and would be hard to place. People want puppies- and I imagine this dog will be hard to place also- 5-6 is getting up there when people want puppies- and ESP since he has reacted to her son. Maybe a 1 kid thing or it maybe kids in general. And I could be mistaken but I don't think the dog has been neutered (am I wrong??) which means a rescue would have costs involved- just not a great time of year.
@Jpgurl:
You're so right. It amazes me soooo many people want puppies even tho they are wild with energy, need training and potty training, require so much more time, energy and effort. IMO, a young adult dog is often a wiser choice but people won't think that way. And, puppies are cute. LOL
@TheTruthHurts:
Totally agree and then when cute puppy starts tearing up everything in sight they get turned in or dumped- as is the case with dog #3 in our house. There are days I want to tear my hair out but I keep focusing on what a fine dog he will become. We just lost 2 of a 5 puppy litter because the owner dropped them AND their mother off at the shelter when the pups were less than a week old-
. Pups just don't have the immune system for that. I'm heart broken for the foster who has worked for 3 weeks to nurse these dogs- hope the other 3 make it.
Anyhow- Good luck Ally- I'm sorry I can't give you any good news- it's just hard
