Here are some of our most recent rescues:
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 has some separation anxiety. He’d love another playful dog in the home and a person that works/stays at home.
Kris
Kris is a 8 year young handsome boy that was left at a shelter in Oklahoma by his previous owner. Kris is in a foster home in Edmond, OK.
Nelson
Nelson is a 3 year young boy who was abandoned in TX and SWESR was contacted by a good Sam to help him. He’s in a foster home in San Antonio and is good with other dogs.
Storytellers
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.
Nora
In 2015, Alan and Cheri lost their beloved Irish Setter Riley. When they were emotionally ready to open themselves up to another dog, they decided to foster as they wanted to help a pup in need but weren’t sure they wanted to commit to adopting again. The Irish Setter organization had no dogs available, but after looking on-line, they discovered Southwest English Setter Rescue (SWESR).
