The Tampa Bay Vizsla Club Rescue is dedicated to the saving and placing of Vizslas who need a loving forever home, and is the only vizsla rescue in the state of Florida.  We get dogs out of shelters, take in stray vizslas, and rehome dogs for owners that for some reason cannot keep them any longer. Because of limited resources, we are only able to assist with placing purebred vizslas. Some of the dogs that come into vizsla rescue are not in perfect health and may require expensive veterinary care.  In addition, all dogs that are placed into new homes by Vizsla Rescue are first spayed or neutered.   TBVC Rescue always welcomes any assistance you may be able to provide, financial or otherwise. Many volunteers make up the team that saves Vizslas in the state of Florida, and we can’t do it without your help! If you would like to be considered to adopt a Vizsla, please fill out the Rescue Application. Tampa Bay Vizsla Club Rescue Family:gundog, pointer, versatile hunting dog

He is a true hunter at heart, a talented pointer and always on the lookout for bird scent. He can become frustrated and destructive if not given adequate exercise. Most can be stubborn, some can be timid and others can be overly excitable. He is gentle, affectionate and sensitive, and can be protective. The vizsla makes a good companion for an active family who spends a lot of time outdoors. The vizsla needs a lot of strenuous exercise every day. This is an active breed that cannot be expected to meet his energy requirements with a short walk or within a small yard. He needs to be jogged or allowed to run in a large enclosed area.

Otherwise, his needs are minimal. His coat requires little care except an occasional brushing to remove dead hair. He needs a soft bed. Minor concerns: hemophilia A, CMO, CHD Dogs Related to the Vizsla Interested in the history of the Vizsla dog breed? The vizsla's forebears may have included breeds that the Magyars collected as they swarmed across Europe before settling in Hungary over a thousand years ago. Writings on falconry from the Middle Ages describe dogs of vizsla type. The Hungarian plains were rich in game, and hunters wanted a fast but close-working dog that could not only point and retrieve birds but trail mammals over thick ground cover. The breed was unquestionably established by the 18th century, having found special favor with barons and warlords of the time. By the end of the 19th century, however, the breed had greatly declined in numbers. He was revived through the discovery and careful breeding of about a dozen good specimens. World War II spread the vizsla throughout the world.

Hungarians fleeing Russian occupation took their pointing dogs to various other countries, including America, where their handsome appearance and exceptional hunting abilities were soon appreciated. AKC recognition came in 1960. Once again, the vizsla quickly gained admirers, and the breed is now regularly seen in the field, show ring and home. He is also sometimes called the Hungarian vizsla or Hungarian pointer.Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppies For Sale Montana Shelters with Vizsla DogsVinyl Slats For Vertical Blinds Some animal welfare organizations with Vizslas ready for adoption:Homes For Sale Botanica Seminole Fl Find a regional event near you . . .

For a variety of reasons, some people are not able to keep their Vizslas, and these dogs become available for re-homing. We also bring "shelter dogs" into rescue. Sometimes rescue vizslas have had no prior training, or they have been abused and need major care and rehabilitation. Rarely are they puppies. As a rule, our rescue vizslas make wonderful pets and adjust well to their new families. Vizslas are active dogs that often act like "puppies" until they are three or more years old. Therefore, for working couples or families with children, we highly recommend adopting an adult, housebroken Vizsla because these dogs settle into the family much more quickly than puppies.

Before placing a rescue in a forever home, all shots are brought up to date, and all immediate medical needs are addressed. All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Vizslas coming from an animal shelter environment may spend several days in quarantine as an extra precaution against contagious illness or temperament problems. How do I adopt a Vizsla? There are volunteer Vizsla Rescue organizations throughout the country. Each prospective owner is asked to complete an adoption application to help match the best dog for you/your family. The adopter signs a contract to ensure the care and wellbeing of the dog under rescue, to agree to follow-up visits and to arrange obedience training as needed. Please contact the group closest to you for the application form and details on that group’s application process. How do I surrender my Vizsla to rescue? Please contact the closest State Rescue Coordinator for more information about placing a vizsla to rescue. We request all registration papers, health records, and any other paperwork relating to the dog be provided to the rescue volunteer at the time of transfer.
