In 2003, WHVCA Rescue was created in response to several WHV or possible WHVs in shelters. As a rare breed, they don't turn up in shelters often, although occasionally a dog is relinquished to our club's Rescue by the owner. We defines a "rescue" as a WV from various types of shelters, a stray, an abandoned dog, or a dog whose owners can no longer care for it. WHVCA Rescue is dedicated to the welfare of such Wirehaired Vizslas. Rescue program workers are volunteers, and give their time, effort, expertise, and often their own resources to help WHV in need. WHV Rescue is supported entirely by donations. We always appreciate donations of funds, supplies, and services.
Dogs in the rescue program are spayed, neutered, and their temperament evaluated before placement into a new home. In addition, all applicants wishing to adopt through the rescue program are carefully screened by experienced Rescue volunteers (Wirehaired Vizsla owners, breeders, and trainers.) A detailed questionnaire, interview process and home check are all part of this screening process. The adoption fee is $200 and helps pay our veterinary expenses.
If you are familiar with this wonderful breed and think that adopting a dog through rescue might be an option for you, or
if you know of a Wirehaired Vizsla in need, please contact us.

Tucker
and
Ginger
Tucker (2.5 years) and Ginger (3 years) needed a new home because of health issues in their former family. They were in Northern California. Happily, both dogs have been adopted! Tucker went to live in Portland, OR and Ginger now lives with a family in Santa Rosa, CA. Thanks to everyone who inquired about these two and special thanks to the wonderful Vizsla rescue folks of the Northern Cal. Vizsla Club for helping us place these dogs.
Pulled from a shelter in Pennsylvania, Sugar and Crystal are happy in their forever home with Ryan and Carolyn in Seattle, Washington!
Jasper loves children and has a wonderful forever home with the Salo family in Colorado!
