Isabelle and Adalyn

All my life I have had dogs, all different types of rescues. My love for Vizslas came later in life when I adopted a Vizsla mix– Zack loving, affectionate, accepting and full spirited. After reading up on the breed I realized that this was known to be true with Vizslas.

I decided to go through a Vizsla rescue site and first rescued 6-year-old Karchi, then 6-year-old Tanner. I couldn’t have been happier. They were three wonderful dogs together. Tanner, now 10, is still with me and now we have added Adalyn to the mix. I am not sure how happy he is about that; he looks at me with that face, “Thanks a lot, now what have you gone and done, more dogs? ” First, I rescued Frankie; he’s a spitfire beagle mix, full of life, and love. But somehow, I was missing my Vizsla family. 

One day over this long winter I contacted Stephanie and it so happened she had just gotten in two girls that needed a home. When I saw the photo of Adalyn, age 7 (aka old name Helen) and Isabella, age 10, lying on top of each other I knew I had to take them both. I waited patiently while Bonnie, their foster mom, took care of them. Isabella needed some major surgery and healing time. Waiting seemed like forever. But the day came when I could pick them up. They have been living with me for a week and loving every minute. The first day they stayed outside till 10 pm just running around wagging their tails and playing!! The whole gang seems to be doing just fine together. The girls are so happy, eating and adjusting well to their new surroundings and I am thrilled for them.

The love and mutual admiration we share is what makes adopting this beautiful breed into your life all worth it
