Learn more about the Wire-haired Pointing Griffon.
Oscar was in a shelter in the west valley. He was picked up as a stray in horrific condition. He was missing 90% of his coat and his body was covered by infected skin from what turned out to be a severe food allergy run amuck! His eyes were matted shut- a completely separate issue- he had entropian. In other words the eyelids turned inward creating corneal abrasions and ultimately severe infection. The shelter did what they could to get him started on the road to recovery and called us for help. We fell in love with Oscar and brought him into our foster program. He has been here for about a month and is almost healed. He had entropian surgery on both eyes on 9/5 and has been on a regimen of antibiotics and special baths. His hair is growing back, his eyes are now open and he is a very happy boy! He still looks a little funny in his photos- partially due to the fact that the area around his eyes had to be shaved for surgery. Oscar is a true example of the pointing breeds- he sees my big cat and freezes and points (obsessively!); we think a home without cats or small furry dogs would probably be less stressful for everyone. Please read about the breed before applying. He is extremely smart, very anxious to please and will be a "velcro" dog for some lucky individual. He loves playing with other dogs but is still a puppy so he can be overwhelming unless they are close to his size.
Ritzy Rescue and Posh Puppy are programs created by CVRR to feature Purebred and Designer dogs. Many of our purebreds are rescued from local puppy mills; some are surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them. Designer dogs (blended breeds of highly desirable breeds) are sometimes found in local kill shelters, surrendered to us by backyard breeders and occasionally just dumped off near our foster homes.
All of our Ritzy and Posh dogs are in need of loving, nurturing homes. Many of them come to us with a serious lack of socialization, malnourished, unvaccinated and desperately in need of grooming and dental care. We place them in foster homes, attend to their physical and emotional needs and begin the process of finding suitable forever homes. If you are interested in providing a loving home for a Ritzy Rescue or Posh Puppy you must compete an online application at www.cvrr.us We are only able torespond to interested parties who have completed applications online. Thank you. Many of our dogs can be seen at Petsmart in Visalia on Saturdays between 10 and 3.
