Reka's dog walking and boarding

01/07/2022

What a journey it has been to get to know these (and many many more) doggos over the past months.

To show their love and appreciation, they blessed me with the best, last, walk yesterday. Loki decided to listen to my recalls for the first time, Lexi only licked down Loki’s throat 5x instead of 5000x, and Bolka didn’t trip me over at all 😍

I have learnt and grown a lot, unlocking new aspects of this line of work, new knowledge, ideas and perspectives.

I’m eternally grateful for all the trust, and hope to see you all very soon.

For now, it’s time to take care of my Cherry. She is scheduled for her first surgery on the 14th of July so from this week we begin decreasing her exercise load gradually, to help her cope with all the cage rest when the time comes. ❤️

Meanwhile we will still have occasional “pop up” socialisation groups in City park some evenings, so message me if you want to be added to that group ☺️

Have a good summer everyone 🐶🐶❤️

If anyone has the wish to help ever, now is the time 🙏🏼 I am happy to help with introductions between any foster dog and your own dog as well as provide support during your fostering period. All expenses are paid for by FAPF. ❤️🐶🙏🏼

Dear supporters.. We need foster homes urgently.. please! 🙏🏼
We are drowning in dogs to place including dogs who had surgery and are now ready to leave the clinic, young puppies, adult dogs and everything in between. We are at the point of having to send dogs to the kennels after they’ve lived in a home for months or years.
We are trying so hard to stay up to date on emails as much as possible but please bare with us if we missed your email and perhaps send a follow up — we are all volunteers trying to juggle it all. Thank you so much for your patience.

If you have fostered for us before or adopted a dog from us, and you feel you can give us a hand in this difficult time, please contact your FAPF contact person ASAP. We need dogs placed in foster homes as soon as this afternoon.

We are so grateful for our FAPF family and we trust you will step up and help us now ❤️❤️ we really need all hands on deck now.

Love,
The FAPF team

Ps. For those of you not in Hungary so you can’t help physically, sharing the advertisements of our dogs goes such a long way. A friend of a friend may spot a dog, fall in love and adopt him/her, opening up an available spot in a foster home.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to notify you all publicly as well that I will be stopping my dogwalking / hiking services from July onwards, indefinitely.

As many people know, my dear Cherry is suffering with serious bilateral hip dysplasia and her pain is only getting worse as the days go on.
I feel it is my number one job to honour her emotions and at this point, I can feel her begging me to stop. She needs a break from all the new dogs, from the hiking, the busy lifestyle. But she also needs me to be home for her, so I am there when she is hurting and she is not alone in her pain.
I hope you can all understand this.

It has been so wonderful to get to know so many dogs and I am honoured to have been trusted by so many of you :)

I will keep this page alive as I will still offer private sessions in the evenings with Dooby and might want to revive the dog-hiking movement once my dearest hiking companion, Cherry is feeling stronger and better - whenever that may be.

I hope everyone has a lovely summer.

Best,
Réka
