Angelo adopted June 2010

Angelo is very large, probably Kuv-Pyr mix, 2 years old, neutered. Turned into shelter for killing chickens. Gets along with neutered males and females dogs, cats unknown. Needs to be cured of jumping on people. Friendly and otherwise well mannered. Sits/lays down on command, takes treats gently from fingers.

Max is now in a better place

In northeastern Oregon "Max" Tagos Just Max, WS09150602, born 07/05/2004 Sire: Tagos Macko Of Assur Dam: Szumeria's Minnie Just Breeder: David Fournier, Sunset TX. Due to lifestyle change, owner must find Max a new home. Breeder will not take the dog back or assist with placement. Owner placed Max as a working dog and the farmer returned him after 8 months. Max harassed the lambs. Owner euthanized Max June 2010. What did we learn from this sad case? We believe that the owner who needs to get rid of her dog is probably not able to make objective decisions in the best interest of the dog. If someone needs our help in placing their dog, KFA will interview potential adopters and determine the most appropriate home for the dog.

Gus & Bullet adopted together September 2009

Are you thinking ... "This is a rare breed, there couldn't possibly be that many rescues, you don't need my help" ???

Kuvasz Rescue Success Stories

Here are the Rescues KFA has worked on from 1996 to the present:

The following Kuvasz are being rehomed by their breeders. These are healthy, well adjusted dogs that for one reason or another are looking for a new family to join. If raising a puppy doesn't appeal to you and none of the rescue dogs are suitable, an adult dog from their breeder is a great choice. 

  If you are able to foster a rescued Kuvasz, or wish to put your name on the waiting list to adopt a Kuvasz, call, FAX, or email KFA's Rescue Coordinator:

Kuvasz Fanciers of America, Inc. a California Non-Profit Corporation, was founded in 1985 in response to the degeneration of correct Kuvasz type in North America. KFA is dedicated not just to the preservation and promotion of the authentic Hungarian Kuvasz, but also to the support of ethical breeder conduct, rescue of Kuvaszok in distress, public education, and sponsorship of Kuvasz events and activities.  KFA's volunteer rescue network has been instrumental in rescuing, rehabilitating and finding new homes for abandoned, abused and other victimized Kuvaszok. Most of these dogs are happy, healthy, attractive animals who adapt rapidly and with gratitude to loving new owners.
