About Us

Teila's day job has run the gamut from being an office clerk to a full-charge bookkeeper, a Research Analyst and a Systems Analyst. However, Vizslas are Teila's passion. At first, her contributions to CWVRG were through fostering and transporting. In 2012, she was elected to the Board of Directors and little over a year later, became President.Teila comments, "This is yet another new way I can help Vizslas. CWVRG has a wonderful Board of Directors and like me, all we want is only the best for red dogs."

I followed CWVRG for years on Facebook and in 2019 I knew it was the right time to help by fostering. My second Vizsla, Penny, was getting older so we specifically wanted to foster an older dog. It didn’t take long and we were matched with Molly. And not long after that, we “failed” as fosters and adopted her. She has been the perfect addition to our family. In January of 2020 I was recruited to be the adoption coordinator—reviewing the many adoption applications we receive and organizing our amazing volunteers to conduct phone interviews. I didn’t know it at the time but it was the perfect job to keep me busy during the crazy year of 2020, especially since I couldn’t do my normal, hectic travel schedule for my real job. I also enjoy helping transport our rescues to their forever homes. Being involved with CWVRG and rescuing dogs is truly what makes my heart happy.

I was first introduced to Vizslas in 2009. We adopted Spice & Paisley from CWVRG and fell in love. They were very different personalities but were the typical happy, active, goofy Vizslas that we all know & love... and bonded so well with our family. After many wonderful years with them and saying our goodbyes, I just knew that I wanted to spend my time in their honor helping out the CWVRG. I loved helping out with our last few Vizsla Vibes... and recently started helping out with foster coordination. Connecting newly rescued Vizslas with a foster family to help them with their transition to a forever home is so rewarding!

Having adopted two Vizslas through CWVRG, I wanted to get more involved with helping the organization. I started doing home visits for potential adopters and started fostering. Almost 5 years later, and I have fostered around 20+ dogs, and have helped CWVRG to find countless other dogs amazing homes. I have made lasting friendships and met amazing people. I have fallen in love a million times with these crazy red heads that have graced my life with their presence, whether for a moment or a lifetime. I am incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to help this amazing breed. I still go to my “other” job every day (the one that pays the bills), but rescue is my true passion.

Pauli comes to us with over 20 years of web and graphic design experience. She is owned by her second rescue Vizsla, Miss Tori Tornado, adopted of course, from CWVRG. While I've owned many dogs in the past, Vizslas are the only ones who have truly owned me. CWVRG not only found my heart dog for me, they are also a continual source of advice, support, and friendship. I can't recommend CWVRG any higher.
