Carma Needs a Home
Carma
came into WHVCA rescue by way of a young couple that were struggling
both financially and physically. The young man had been attacked and
stabbed many times on a street in California and later moved to
Georgia with family.
Before leaving CA, a
friend bought him a puppy to keep him company. The puppy,
Carma, became his constant companion as he went through over a
year of physical therapy.
A few years later, Carma became pregnant by a neighbor dog.
At the same time, the man lost his job and ended up living in his
car with Carma. She had 12 puppies in the back seat of the car,
losing 5 of them.
He got in touch with our Rescue after
realizing that he could not care for Carma and her newborn puppies
properly. She was taken into rescue along with her puppies, spent
some time in our foster care and all of them found homes.
Carma went to a home in
Texas with one of her puppies, but has had trouble adjusting to
being with multiple dogs, feeling the need to boss around
the other dogs in the household.
We
feel Carma needs a home where she is the only dog, or maybe with a
submissive other dog. She is a sweetheart and is very healthy! Let
us know if you feel you might be the forever home Carma
needs!
 
This is Carma right after her rescue,
dreadfully thin.
Her pups were only five days old when they came
into our rescue; here they are at 4 weeks of age & eating solid
food.
In our GA
foster home, Carma's health improved and she put on much needed
weight. She has been spayed and is up to date on her
shots.

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 WHVCA by the owner.
The WHVCA defines a "rescue" as a WHV 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 temperament tested before placement into a new home. In
addition, all applicants wishing to adopt through the rescue program
are carefully screened by experienced Rescue volunteers (vizsla
owners, breeders, and trainers). A detailed questionnaire, interview
process and home check are all part of this screening
process.
If you are familiar with this wonderful
breed and think that adopting a dog through rescue might be an
option or if you know of a WHV in need, please contact
us.

 Please be aware that while WHVCA Rescue
ONLY places purebred WHVs there are other
rescues and shelters who will from time to time list dogs
of questionable heritage as WHVs. Please research the dog you are
adopting.
