Tika
Tika was adopted by a wonderful family where she is now living her best life. According to her new family, she has become a fabulous trail dog and perfect hiking partner. When they first adopted her, she was loud and boisterous on the trails, and only wanted to play. Now she hikes quietly, running a short distance ahead sniffing for critters and looking for squirrels. She also loves to run and play in the streams too. Congratulations Tika!
DanteSometimes you have to make the heart-breaking decision to place your Vizsla in another home. This was Dante's case. Because his owner was no longer able to take care of him, we added him to our senior sponsorship programs where he was able to live out his senior years, happy, and well-loved. Dante crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2022.
Clifford and Oliver2017 brought us two very special boys, Clifford with cleft lip and palate, and Oliver with a serious cleft palate.

Colorado Wyoming Vizsla Rescue Group (CWVRG) is doing some spectacular work with the rescue of the special breed of dogs, the unique and amazing Vizsla [. . .] is quite exceptional and matchless in both temperament and needs compared to other breeds. More
Falling in love with Vizslas was really quite by accident. We had been without dogs for a while having had to put the second German Shepard down due to cancer. More
3 1/2 years ago we adopted our “Huddy Buddy” from CWVRG. It had been 4 years since I’d lost my beloved Jeannie and I was finally ready for a new running companion. I contacted CWVRG. More
A few years after we got married we wanted a sweet, smart, family friendly dog that I wouldn't be allergic to. One of my wife's clients had a Vizsla so we stopped by to see what they we all about and instantly fell in love. More

How You Can Help
Colorado/Wyoming Vizsla Rescue Inc., saves the lives of dozens of Vizsla and Vizsla mixes every year. Since we don't shy away from sick and/or injured Vizslas, we often have huge vet bills and foster home expenses. We are totally donation based and 100% of donations are spent on the dogs such as veterinary expenses, collars, leashes, gas for transports, etc.
