Vizsla Welfare are currently seeking homes for a number of young boys aged 9-12mths.

All of them were surrendered for behavioural issues, all of them have minor bite histories (often not really their fault), all of them have had professional behavioural assessment, residential rehabilitation and training, and all of them have had an extended period of foster in a multi-dog household to assess their temperament, their personality, and their suitability for rehoming.

These are young energetic active dogs! All of them would be suitable for dogsports - agility, mantrailing, gundog work, canicross and more. All of them would love hillwalking, trail running, mountain biking etc.

All of them are well trained, confident, sociable, dog friendly, human friendly, can live with other dogs, they really are lovely boys!

We are looking for active outdoorsy homes, with no children under 18 and owners who will be around most of the day. We are looking for adopters who will follow a carefully structured settling in plan - this will include using a crate - and committing to ongoing training.

All of these dogs are in Scotland. We do rehome nationwide, but we will likely ask you to travel to meet, attend group walks over a couple of days, and take part in some training sessions with us. Ongoing behavioural support and full charity backup is provided.

If you are lucky enough to be matched with one of these dogs, you will become part of our growing network of trainers, behaviourists, dog walkers, home boarders, adopters, owners, and of course our massively experienced charity rehoming coordinators.

No fur-baby mommas or dadas please! These are fabulous dogs but they definitely need much more than just ‘love and time’ to keep them on the straight and narrow!

If you think you might fit the bill, please have a look at our website, read through our adoption information, and submit an adoption application…

Hi everyone 👋 just to let you know that kennel cough is around (seen a few posts about it and it been mentioned by other walkers in the area), so if your dog is showing symptoms then please let me know so we can stop the spread. Many thanks 😊

It seems that kennel cough is still around all over the UK.

The most obvious symptom of kennel cough is a forceful, hacking cough, which will often sound like your dog has something stuck in their throat. The cough can be dry and hoarse or productive, in which case it can be followed by a gag, swallowing motion or the production of mucus. It is distinct from a cough-like sound known as reverse sneezing, which is common in certain breeds and is triggered by irritation in the throat. This sound can often be mistaken for a cough, choking fit, sneezing, retching or gasping for breath.

Kennel cough is a respiratory infection caused by a number of bacteria and viruses.

It is not usually dangerous and normally clears up without treatment within a few weeks. Apart from your dog coughing, the infection is unlikely to make them feel ill, But puppies, elderly dogs and those with existing medical conditions can be susceptible to complications from kennel cough, such as pneumonia. Kennel cough has an incubation period of 3 to 14 days.

Please remember that dog’s showing symptoms must stay away from anywhere where there are other dog’s. Kennel cough is airborne and highly contagious, which is why it can spread through all types of areas quickly. It is also transmitted with bacteria on toys, food bowls or other shared objects.
