VIZSLAMENTES UK RESCUE TRUST
The charity works to raise funds to support the rescue, rehabilitation, care and treatment of Hungarian Vizslas and related breeds, predominately in Hungary. Part of this is supporting the network of foster homes, predominately in Hungary, during this rehabilitation, care and treatment. We also find adopters and forever homes for those dogs suitable to be rehomed in the UK. We promote and educate.

What the accounts disclose
“A reserve is kept in order to ensure cash flow is available when required.” — page 31
“The Hungarian organisation uses the donations it receives to feed, shelter and provide medical care to the dogs in its care. A significant proportion of its income comes from the UK charity and without our support the Hungarian organisation would not be able to rescue and continue helping as many dogs as it does. It also finds homes in Hungary for the dogs not being homed in the UK. In 2023 85 dogs were re-homed to the UK” — page 2
