Change a dog's Life.

Hello Viz Whizzers,
We've got a ton of exciting updates to share—starting with our brand new website! After a quiet soft launch last week, we've been busy behind the scenes, pulling everything together so you can find all the details about our dogs, our partnerships, and our team in one easy place. Now, future adopters will have a much smoother time checking out which pups are still searching for their forever homes.
There’s also some big news: Vizsla Rescue of Texas will now send every dog that comes their way through Viz Whizz Dogs Rescue. Since I already coordinate for the region and we’ve got such an active Viz Whizz Texas community, it just makes sense. Donations are being directed to us as well—so every dollar helps us care for the many Texas vizslas needing homes.
Please help us welcome Amy Ball to the team! Amy brings years of rescue experience, is a responsible Vizsla breeder, and owns a doggie daycare. She knows this breed inside and out—their quirks, their needs, all of it—and we’re thrilled she’s onboard. With Buckeye Vizsla Rescue in Ohio now closed, Amy will be helping support dogs in both Ohio and Kentucky. We’re in a great spot to keep growing and helping more vizslas in need.
The pace hasn’t slowed this month at all. Seven more vizslas found their forever homes—huge congrats to Ruger, Ruby, Rumor, River, Katie, Chloe, and River (the boy)! Our adopters are amazing—Ruger’s new mom is even flying from Arizona to Cincinnati just to pick him up, then driving all the way home together. That’s dedication.
One last thing: our very first Silent Auction is coming up! If you’ve got an item to donate or want to help out, check the details below. We’re hoping to launch over Thanksgiving and raise some extra funds for our dogs.
Thank you for being part of this incredible community.

PARTNERSHIPS
FI GPS TRACKING COLLARS
We want every adopted dog to settle in safely — and that means making sure they can always be found if they ever slip away. That’s why, thanks to Fi Dogs, every pup who finds a new home through us goes home with a free Fi GPS tracking collar. It’s a simple way to give both you and your dog peace of mind. For those first three months after adoption, we ask that you keep your new dog on a leash unless you’re in a fully fenced area. Building a strong recall and earning that off-leash freedom takes time, so let’s set them up to succeed from day one.
EMBARK VETS
We have partnered with Embark Vet to offer you exclusive discounts on their dog DNA tests. Just pick your test, search our rescue from the dropdown, and you’ll help support our mission with every purchase.
What do we get in return? Points towards buying test kits for our rescues.

BRINGING HOME YOUR ADOPTED DOG
Bringing home a newly adopted dog is a mix of excitement and nerves—for both you and your new four-legged friend. The car ride might be tense, the first steps inside a little wobbly, and you’ll probably find yourself obsessing over every tail wag and whimper. But this is where the real story starts. You’re not just giving your dog a house—you’re offering a fresh start, a little bit of safety, and a whole lot of love. Be patient, stock up on treats, and get ready: those first few days set the tone for a bond that can last a lifetime.
WHY DONATE TO OUR RESCUE PROGRAM?
SUPPORT - Donating to the Viz Whizz dogs rescue program means you’re giving direct, practical help to dogs who need it most. Your contribution helps cover food, medical care, and safe shelter for dogs who might otherwise be left out in the cold. Every dollar stretches a little further in a rescue — so even a small donation can make a real difference.
LOVE - When you support Viz Whizz, you’re fueling a program built on genuine love for animals. The team goes above and beyond to find forever homes, provide rehabilitation, and give neglected dogs a second chance. That love radiates through every wagging tail and every happy adoption, and your donation becomes part of that story.
CARE - Rescued dogs often need more care and attention than most people realize. From emergency vet visits to behavioral support, the costs add up fast. By donating, you ensure these animals receive the full spectrum of care they deserve — not just the basics, but the extra touches that help them heal and thrive before they find new families.
