Pierre, the little man Pirre :)

"When we first found Pirre, he was in a terrible condition, with a heavy flea and tick infestation. He was very thin, and he was freezing. His body temperature was below normal. Even in this condition he was a dog of good spirits"

In October several students contacted us regarding a dog roaming around the Large Animal Clinic of our University, outside the city. Caroline and Anouska went out to take a look. He was in a terrible condition. They decided to take him in under our care.

Pirre, when he was found.
His fur was tangled and covered in dirt and fleas.

It turned out that Pirre also was infected with Babesia. Babesia is a parasite that affects the blood cells, destroying them, causing severe illness. Pirre needed intensive care for nine whole days before he got better.

Pirre finally got better, and turned out to be a great pumi boy.
He is now adopted by our own Caroline and her beautiful family in Norway

Pictures from our blog, April, 2011

The approach of strangers was obviously traumatic

Lucy, safe, sound and happy

After Lucy was found she was kept at the kennels for a while. We knew she was an affectionate, caring dog. But how smart she was, was left for her fostermum, Anne Kathrine, to find out.

Lucy was brought in to foster care with Anne Kathrine one cold evening,
in late winter, 2011. Anne Kathrine decided to adopt her soon after.
Here Lucy is safe and happy in her bed.

Anne Kathrine describes Lucy as a very attentive, smart,
and affectionate dog, who is friendly to all dogs and people.

Lucy together with one of Anne Kathrine's parents' dogs in Germany. They have two dogs.
Lucy got along with both dogs and her Anne Kathrine's parents,
who fell in love with Lucy immediately.

City Boy in bad shape

This poor boy was found yesterday by students near Nyugati railway station in Budapest. He had been observed by several students from whom we received phone-calls and it was obvious he was in great distress. Eventually he was tethered by visiting tourists and our class-mate Nina collected him and took him home for the night.

As is obvious from the photo`s this poor boy is not in good shape at the moment. We will keep everyone updated on his progress.

He may also have an owner so anyone in Budapest, please keep your eyes open for posters etc.

Tammie and her Concrete block

Tammie is our newest arrival to Budadogs and we welcome her with open arms! She is a young, retriever mix, approximately 12 months old, and has lived on a short chain tied to a concrete cylinder ever since she was a young puppy and she has never been off this chain. Despite Tammie`s restricted life she has kept her spirits up and we are glad we could help her before she continued the all too short life which originally was planned for her. Her owner`s intention was to give her to the dog-catcher who would take her to be put to sleep. Tammie was never given a name. She suffered the consequence all too familiar when litters are born in the neighbourhood and was simply tied up as a young puppy and left there day in, day out. Food and water is the extent of her care, her concrete cylinder providing her with shelter from the rain and cold.
Tammie is going into fostering with a wonderful couple who have helped us a great deal, and we look forward to getting to know her better.

Angie... little Angel

Angie at the site where she had been abandoned

Angie became a Budadog today. She was found tied to a chain alone, left to starve to death. The malnourishment and helplessness is more than apparent and I am speechless and appalled.
I surrender myself to the truth in the saying of a picture speaking a thousand words....

The approach of strangers was obviously traumatic

no food... no water... no people.... nothing

Tied up and helpless... Angie wasn`t even given a chance to fend for herself....

Carefully saying Hello

Angie was immediately taken off the chain and into safety

Her eyes speak of distrust but also hope...

with a mild and forgiving expression

Angie begins to explore the first hours of her new life

Quite soon this girl will be unrecognizable... And she will have forgotten the hunger, fear and agony which once was inflicted upon her... Their ability to live in the present is one of the magical aspects of our work. And any time I doubt the purpose or fruitfulness of our endeavours I need only glance into the eyes of a girl like Angie... and it all makes a bit more sense.


She is a quiet, but sweet girl and we can`t wait to help her get her strength and vitality back, teaching her that life can be good and filled with love.
