Bridget
Bridget is about 5 years young. She showed up at a country home in E TX, no microchip and no one looking for her. This sweet girl is being adopted by her foster mom near Dallas, TX.
Lucy
SWESR Lucy came into rescue in 2021 as a 3-year old, after her hunting guide owner passed away. She’d been kept outside, in a kennel, and it was apparent she’d never been in a house before. She didn’t like loud noises, and a gruff voice from anyone (not even directed at her) sent her like a pancake onto the floor in fear.
Lukie
While searching for a companion for her Irish Setter, Bailey, Carol came across the website for Southwest English Setter Rescue (SWESR). She scrolled through the pictures of available dogs and read their descriptions. She saw Lukie’s photo and was captivated. Well, maybe, she thought.
Juno – (now Maggie)
Juno is a 2 year old typical ES youngster. She is good with people and other dogs and avoids cats. She is being adopted by her foster family near San Antonio.
Lefty (now Skipper)
Lefty is a sweet 3 year old ES who discovered hunting is not his thing. He loves people and is great with other dogs. Lefty is being adopted by his foster family near Dallas, TX.
Thunder
Nine and a half year old Thunder is a handsome English Setter who lived his entire life outside. He was used as a stud dog and was provided no medical care at all. The only time Thunder was allowed inside was if the weather was literally freezing cold, at which point he would be carried into the house and placed inside a crate until the morning. Can you imagine? His paws had never touched an indoor surface until he was surrendered into rescue in late June 2024.
Chester
Chester is a 4 year old good boy who came to SWESR after his family situation changed drastically and he needed more than could be provided. He loves people and is good with other dogs, cats and children. Chester is being adopted by his wonderful foster mom in Hillsborough, CA.
Jyn – (now Canyon Rose)
Jyn is a 2 year old beauty who has typical activity level and is very birdie for an ES. She is being adopted by her foster family near Dallas, TX.
Kai
In May 2017, SWESR was notified about a 7-year old blind English Setter in an Oklahoma shelter. Kai was rescued quickly and went to a foster home. His foster mother took him to a canine ophthalmology specialist, who diagnosed Kai with a degenerative eye condition called progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). It is not painful, but there is no cure.
Baby J – (now Gracie)
Baby J is a 10 week old deaf field ES. SWESR was contacted by a responsible breeder for help finding a great home for her. A SWESR foster, previous adopter and volunteer with blind ES puppy experience jumped into action. She picked Gracie up in Utah and flew her home to Texas where Gracie is now a member of her family.
