About Budadogs
Budadogs is a 100% non-profit, idealistic dog adoption project run by Norwegian veterinary students in Budapest. Our work deals with rescuing and rehoming unwanted dogs in Budapest. Our aims are several.
Adoption of unwanted dogs
Budadogs recieves unwanted dogs and strays and also have rescued dogs from the Budapest city pound. We cooperate with other local rescue organizations or shelters and also take dogs through the veterinary university who have been left by owners who do not want them and also strays found by locals or students. We also cooperate with a Hungarian organisation outside of Bp and assist in taking on some of the many dogs that come to them.
Rehabilitation
Budadogs also has a few dogs on for rehabilitation. These animals have been grossely neglected, mistreated, abused and sometimes tortured. They are in dire need of medical treatment and psychological rehabilitation. These animals will not be adopted through our usual channels.
Who are we?
Budadogs consists of Veterinary students Anouska Godtfredsen Andenaes, Caroline Holtet and Eve Thoresen.
Anouska G. Andenæs
Anouska is the founder of Budadogs. She has spent many years dealing with and nurturing neglected and/or abused animals. Several years in Spain opened her eyes to animal abuse and she experienced it all around her. Anouska is also a trained dog massage therapist and her fields of interest are ethology, canine behaviour and holistic health.
Caroline Holtet
Caroline is primarily an equestrian and has competed to European dressage levels with her horses. That said Caroline`s communication with animals spans the species barrier and she also has a deep understanding for the approach to and treatment of neglected animals. Carolines “hands-on” approach to animals and efficient administrative skills are crucial to the functioning of Budadogs.
