Our Story
Started as a small social group of Vizsla Families in 2008, SBVLG/R has grown exponentially. Now a large group, we socialize, offer educational forums and events, have group hikes, enjoy "Vizsla Fests", and provide friendship and guidance for new Vowners or those who may be experiencing difficulties with the Vizsla-Family bond--and we have much VFUN!
Recognizing the need for an active Rescue Group in our region in 2010, SBVLG began doing occasional rescues, often in conjunction with affiliate groups. As the need has grown, so have our Rescue efforts. Volunteer members, led by our experienced Rescue Coordinators, assess dogs in shelters or in the home setting, provide transport to pre-qualified Foster homes, arrange for private Veterinary assessments and treatment as needed, and confer with professional trainers if behavioral problems are present.
Prior to adopting, all dogs have a health/temperament check, receive updated vaccines, dental and nail care, are neutered or spayed, and are microchipped. Other necessary Veterinary care is provided if at all possible. Our Foster Parents are all experienced Vizsla Moms and Dads and provide care in their homes as if the dog were their own family member (sleep outdoors? It's a VIZSLA--perish the thought!).
