Vizsla Rescue is committed to the long-term health and welfare of every dog in our care. Neutering and spaying play an important role in preventing unwanted litters, supporting good health, and ensuring responsible rehoming.
All dogs and bitches rehomed through Vizsla Rescue must be neutered or spayed. Dogs are never rehomed for breeding, and breeding is not permitted under any circumstances.
In many cases, dogs will be neutered before they are rehomed. However, if a dog is too young, too old, or there are veterinary reasons why neutering cannot take place at that time, the dog may be rehomed under a neutering agreement.
If you adopt or foster-to-adopt a dog that has not yet been neutered or spayed, you will be responsible for arranging the procedure with your own vet once the dog reaches the agreed age or stage of development. We generally recommend waiting until a dog is fully mature, usually close to two years old, although this may vary depending on the individual dog and veterinary advice.
Once the neutering or spaying procedure has been completed, Vizsla Rescue will provide a £100 veterinary voucher as a contribution towards the cost. We ask that adopters provide written confirmation from their vet so the voucher can be issued.
If you have any questions about neutering or your responsibilities as an adopter or fosterer, our team will be happy to discuss this with you before rehoming.
