Here are some of our most recent rescues:

Sampson

Sampson is the cutest, smartest 8 year young English Setter who forms strong bonds with his people and loves being part of the daily routine.
He’s fully house-trained, comfortably stays home uncrated for 4–5 hours, and sleeps soundly through the night on his dog bed. Sampson enjoys long walks, car rides (he’s a great co-pilot!), and spending quality time with his humans. He is in a foster home in Park City, UT with other dogs and gets along well, and he continues to grow more confident sharing attention.
Sampson will thrive in a home that enjoys staying active and can provide consistency, companionship, and lots of love. He’s a loyal, engaging companion ready for his next chapter.
