About TGCVC Rescue

As early as the summer of 1992, The Texas Gulf
Coast Vizsla Club (TGCVC) realized a need and
founded a rescue program. Our boundaries of
operation are set forth by the Vizsla Club of
America, which is our parent club.

Our program is designed to provide foster care
and the eventual placement of abandoned and/or unwanted Vizslas. This program is operated by the generosity of our club members and others who love the breed. Money to cover operating expenses come from raffles, donations and adoption fees

The TGCVC operates its rescue program by a set of written guidelines adopted by our club and accepted by other organizations throughout the area. Our rescue program accepts only purebred Vizslas or dogs that resemble the breed standard.

Dogs come to us from the streets, shelters and
owner surrenders. Every dog and it's situation is
evaluated before a dog is accepted into our program. We gather and assemble as much information as possible on every dog accepted.
Each Dog's health issues are addressed and cared for. A dogs personality and behavior issues are
addressed while the animal is in foster care. All
animals accepted into our program must undergo a sterilization program.

Adoption families are evaluated and what we feel is the appropriate dog is placed in that home. We expect each placement to last a lifetime and we strive to remain in contact with adopting families

Puppies take a tremendous amount of supervision and training. In our hustle bustle society many people who wish to have a dog just don't have the time a puppy deserves. It's been our experience that an older dog can adjust and quickly become one of the family.

The information contained in this web site is compiled from many long time Vizsla owners and breeders. It is here to help you decide for yourself if the Vizsla is really the breed for you.
