Vizslamentés UK Rescue Trust Application Form
IMPORTANT: please read before completing the form.............

Adopting a rescue dog, that has probably been abused and mistreated, can bring different challenges (but also special rewards) to obtaining a young dog from a breeder. The dogs may well take time to adjust to their new home, and often will need basic training, sometimes house training, as you would a puppy.

These rescue dogs are very special, which is why Vizslamentés takes such care to match the needs of the dog as closely as possible to the ideal and forever home.

So please forgive us if this questionnaire seems lengthy, or some of the questions a little intrusive. Please complete all sections with as much detail as you can manage to help us to build a picture of the home you are offering to a res cue from Vizslamentés. We will ask applicants who do not complete their application in sufficient detail to submit again.

All questions are compulsory and the entry boxes will remain outlined in red if not completed and the form will not be able to be submitted unless complete. You will receive an on screen submission (please don't close your browser until you have seen the message).

After submission the members of the Vizslamentés team will review your form in detail and we will advise you of the outcome afterwards. If we decide to take your application to a homecheck then we will locate someone from our network of volunteers. Please bear with us during this process, we do our best to progress applications in a timely fashion.

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Vizslamentés, we look forward to receiving your form.

In the case of a puppy adoption, the adopter agrees to neuter or spay the puppy no earlier than 18 months of age. In addition, if the puppy is a female, she should have had a minimum of one season, but preferably two and the spay operation should be carried out at least 3 months after the end of the season. All adult dogs which are already over the appropriate neutering age are to be neutered after a settling in period of not less than 3 months.

There may be authors or TV personalities that you have an affinity with which will help us understand your approach.
Behavioural/adjustment issues with your dog *
All rescue dogs, no matter what the age, gender or history will have a period of adjustment on arrival at their new home. All dogs are thoroughly assessed by their foster home in Hungary and this information is used in helping us to match a dog to its forever home.

Your adoption timescales and form submission
Vizslamentés has, at any moment in time, many dogs in foster care in Hungary. All our dogs are fostered in family homes, and all the dogs need forever homes as soon as we can locate their perfect home.
