  • About Vizslas

    The golden gun dog

    The Vizsla is a medium-sized, short-haired hunting dog with a smooth, dense golden rust coat, also occasionally referred to as a Hungarian pointer or Magyar Vizsla. The VCCNE’s first president, Count Bela Hadik, believed that the genetic origins of the Vizsla were as old as the Magyar peoples who originally settled in what is now Hungary in the late 9th century.

VCCNE’s Vizsla Rescue Program

VCCNE’s Vizsla Rescue ProgramVCCNE admin2025-03-08T11:39:29-05:00

Our mission

The goal of VCCNE’s Vizsla Rescue is to unite Vizslas needing new homes to caring and appropriate new owners. Through extraordinary efforts to retrieve Vizslas in bad homes or situations where an owner can no longer keep a loved dog, our Vizsla Rescue program is a facet of the VCA that touches everyone who loves the breed.

VCCNE Rescue is run entirely by volunteers who have full time jobs and lives outside of Rescue. We do our very best to respond in a timely fashion, but often we are not only juggling our own lives but also multiple Rescue cases and numerous applications coming in at once.

What is rescue vizsla?

A “rescue vizsla” is a Vizsla from various types of shelters or owners who are no longer able to take care for their dog, whether pet, stray or abandoned dog. It is recognized and accepted that most Rescue Vizslas will be without registration papers. Establishing the “Purebred” nature of the “Rescue” will be done through evaluation by a member of the area club directly involved with each rescue.

Looking to adopt or rescue a vizsla?

We seldom post available dogs on our website because we have a list of approved adopters waiting, and we are often able to place rescues quickly. If you are interested in adopting a rescue vizsla, please fill out an application (link below) and be placed on our list so we can contact you.

How does it work?

We have very good success placing our dogs in their forever homes. However, to do this well, the process is not an instant one. Our goal is to make the right match for both the dog and the owner. Vizslas are individuals in spite of many shared breed characteristics. Finding an appropriate dog for your family can take weeks to months to years depending on your stated criteria for adoption and the dogs we have available. Willingness to consider adopting a mature dog will substantially shorten your waiting time.

You may be contacted to set up a visit to your home by one of our volunteers. This may occur when we have available dogs or it may be arranged ahead of time in preparation for the dogs we know will come eventually.
Most importantly, thank you for your support of Rescue Vizslas!
