Mission

The purpose of the IHCUS Rescue Committee is to protect and promote the welfare of the Ibizan Hound breed by protecting individual Ibizan Hounds from abuse, neglect, or exploitation, while promoting the attributes of the breed to members of the public.

Objectives

• To attempt to place stray, abandoned or surrendered Ibizan Hounds with new owners who will agree to provide the high level of care required under terms of adoption and who will observe the IHCUS Code of Ethics.
• To take responsibility for all Ibizan Hounds identified in shelters, pounds, etc. in our service area and remove them from these environments, even if they must be euthanized.
• To work with personnel in shelters, pounds, etc. to educate them so they are able to identify Ibizan Hounds that become their charges.
• To educate new and existing Ibizan Hound owners whenever possible in breed temperament and requirements, responsible ownership, etc., so that potential surrenders can be averted and new adoptions will be successful.
