Bonnie

Dolly

Dolly, whose original name was Birdie, was the product of a casual backyard breeder situation. When she was 8-weeks old, her owners gave her to family friends. This new family had a fairly chaotic life. From the time of her adoption Dolly spent up to 9 hours a day completely alone. The family did have a 5-year old child, who may have been Dolly’s only consistent human companion. Overall, though, this family had no idea how to care for a dog. They were neglectful. She had minimal human interaction, no training, no veterinary visits, no preventative health care, no safety. Understandably, Dolly was bored and lonely, and she acted out accordingly. She was a wild child. She escaped from them whenever she could. She chased cars, a behavior that constantly placed her in danger.

Romeo – Just Rescued

Romeo is a 5 year old Irish Red & White Setter from a hoarding situation in Colorado. He was transferred to SWESR because we have an approved foster home with IS/ISRW experience nearby. His Vet care is underway, and he is decompressing from living in horrible conditions for a couple of years and learning to trust again. Check back for updates!

Sherlock – Just Rescued

Sherlock was rescued from a shelter in Texas. He has Setter feathers and loves people but clearly there’s some other breed(s) responsible for this stunning and sweet boy. He should weigh 60 lbs and he is balanced and calm and is good with dogs and cats. Sadly Sherlock tested heartworm positive so his treatment and recovery will take at least 4 months so he won’t be ready for adoption until February 2026. Check back for updates!

Tucker – Just Rescued

Tucker is housetrained and used to living in a home with his people, including having furniture privileges. At 8 he is still very active outside and will need a home with a secure and interesting fenced yard. He has lived with other dogs and cats but he will require patience integrating with other dogs (feeding, playing, attention, etc) to give him time to know his new pack. He is in a foster home in Colorado Springs and already neutered so we expect him to be available soon. Check back for updates!

Harvey

Harvey came into rescue after being found as a wandering stray in Texas. He was brought to an animal shelter which is where SWESR found him. During Harvey’s vetting he was diagnosed as Chagas positive, so he spent some months with an experienced SWESR foster in Texas who provided him a settled home while he began Chagas treatment and could decompress from the stress of being a stray.

Augie

Augie is going to evolve into a genuinely spectacular dog for the right adopter. His previous owner told a rescuer “come get this dog, or I’m going to shoot him.” Needless to say, SWESR stepped up for Augie quickly.
 
We estimate him to be 5-years-old, and Augie is a big boy at 70lbs. He was an outdoor dog and neglected, so it says a lot of good things about Augie that he is doing as well as he is, learning to live indoors with rules he has to follow. He is sweet, affectionate, and very eager to please.

Sydney is a big, beautiful 12-year-old registered bench setter who came to live with us in February 2024. Sadly, Sydney’s owner had developed dementia and it became clear to her family that she could no longer care for Sydney. SWESR was asked to help find a new home for Sydney. Her breeder flew in from several states away to coordinate her transfer to our care.
