If you are considering adopting an English Setter rescue dog, click here to see all dogs currently available and consider submitting an application.
Here are some of our most recent rescues:
Augie
Augie is a 5 year old Orange Belton ES. He’s sweet and is learning about house training and manners in a foster home near Austin TX.
Phoenix
Phoenix is a 3 year young Llewellen boy that found himself in a horrible situation in Texas. He’s safe now. Phoenix is housetrained, good with people, dogs and cats. This regal boy has a trot like a Tennessee Walker. He’s Velcro and he’d love another playful dog in the home and a person that is home some or most of the day.
Molle
Molle is a 5 year young busy ES girl that was surrendered in Texas after her owner passed away. She is in a foster home in the Hill Country.
Storytellers
Solomon
Solomon’s story really begins with a Setter named Harry. Martie and her husband had adopted Harry from a North Carolina shelter during the Pandemic. They had recently lost their elder dog and felt their lives were simply not complete without a dog with whom to share it. Harry proved to be quite a handful and seemed to have enough energy for three dogs, so Martie decided that he needed a friend to romp with. Smitten with English Setters, Martie brought home an eight week old female puppy. She named her Ginsburg. Raising a puppy with energetic Harry kept Martie quite busy, but nevertheless, life was good.
Monty
When Randy and Kathy’s 15-year-old, 85-pound Irish Setter crossed the Rainbow Bridge in April 2020, they could tell their 54-pound red Setter rescue, Sorcha, was grieving her companion. The entire family wanted a second dog, and they decided to “downsize” to an English Setter.
Phillip
Phillip was five years old when he came into rescue. He’d been a family dog, but his family wanted more from him than companionship. He’d failed hunting school twice, and his family determined he didn’t fit into their idea of what they wanted from a dog. Thankfully, they contacted SWESR so Phillip could find a home who would love him for who he is, and not for who they wanted him to be.
