New kid on the block - Johnny






Mudi Mix Johnny has been left to fend for himself in a village a few hours from Budapest. His hips are abit wonky so we will x-ray them but first we must get him cleaned up and into a fosterhome.

Johnny is aprox 5-6 months old. Unfortunately there is a trend to throw dogs out onto the streets if there is anything wrong with them rather than get them the necessary veterinary care. Thankfully Johnny needn`t worry now :)

Lonely Ulrik needs a fosterhome



poor Ulrik was going to be euthanised when his elderly owner died so we said we would take him on. He was kenneled but escaped and ran many miles back to his old, empty house looking for his owner.

Ulrik is in kennels at the moment and needs fostering. He is extremely sweet, well behaved and devoted. He is a black, middle-aged dachshund mix. Anyone looking for some calm, quiet company for exam period ?

Two lovely but sad boys need fostering





Louis (bottom) and Dio (top) are our newest arrivals and currently at kennels. Both dogs were abandoned and Louis had a collar which had grown into the flesh of his neck.

Louis story as described by his rescuer:
The dog has stayed at a factory site just outside of my town for a week. The women who is the secretary of the manager of the company called me and asked for my help. I went to see him yesterday but he was too scared to catch him without any forcement so I decided to go back every day specially when the company is closed so there are no people around to feed him. I went back this evening again to spend some time with him and trying to make friends. It went quite well, I could even stoke him so I decided to set off and leave but Louis started following my car. I stopped 3 times and tried to catch him but he was too scared to let himself cought. I thought I would set off very fas so he would not be able to follow but I was wrong. He started running after my car like hell and I had to stop at a point because there were cars coming on the road and it was very dark so Louis must have been hit by a car if I don't stop. So all together it took me 2 hours to catch him but I did it finally. It was almost 10.00 p.m. Right now he is staying in a traveling crate in the kitchen of my sister but I have no idea where I will put him. We are full of dogs

Dio is a foxterrier mix. He was found abandoned and taken to a kennel but escaped twice and was not safe. Now he is in our kennels and waiting for a fosterhome.

Both boys are really sweet.

Newcomer: Amazing Ava




One of our newcomers from the University clinic is beautiful Ava. She is one of the three dogs we took from the obstetrics department. They are shelter dogs that we said we could re-home rather than return to the shelter from where they came. Ava has gone into fostering and is a soft-tempered, lovely young girl. Aprox 1 year old and 15 kg :) She is for adoption.

New Budadogs - stray mum and puppies






Last week one of our adopters who lives in the countryside contacted us about a stray female she has seen often now having given birth. Mum was very protective of her babies so we decided the best option was to feed her on sight until she allowed someone to come closer. A few days later one of her pups got trapped under a log and had to be rescued by our friend. The day after the pup was stuck again. Having been in physical contact with mum and pup she decided it was safe to relocate them to her own garden.

Mum and pups are fine but mum has discarded one of the pups which is now being hand-reared.

Mum is a small black mix, aprox 2-3 years old. Pups are aprox 3 weeks old. When they are old enough we are looking for someone to adopt/foster them and mum will also need fostering. I will keep you updated on their development on the blog :)

New dogs from University clinic!

Before the weekend we were asked to take a poodle mix female we have named Tokyo (bottom picture). She is from a shelter and has been taken to the clinic for Obstetrics surgery practice. She was supposed to be returned to the shelter but instead the vets at the clinic were wondering if we could take her. We said yes and when we arrived to collect her we were shown 7 other females in the same situation. At the moment we have almost 70 dogs in fostering so I said I`d take a look at them and maybe take 2 or 3 but big fat softie that I am I couldn`t bare sending them back to the shelter so I said we would take them all. SOOO we are looking for fostering for all these darling girls.

There`s a Small, happy outgoing poodle mix (Tokyo) and a lovely german pointer mix, a black lab mix, a lean gun-dog mix, a bassett mix, a sheperd mix, a small fox terrier mix, and a small brown mix. They are all really lovely girls, poor things.

Currently they are being kept in cages in one of the older uni buildings and will be ready for fostering in about 2 weeks.
