Sonny – Adoption Pending
Meet stunning 4 year young Sonny! His intended career was “crushed” when there was an accident. He is perfectly fine, just no babies in his future, and now he’s made his way to SWESR. This amazing boy is a descendant of Tekoa Mt Sunrise. He will join his new parents and SWESR Thunder in OKC, OK.
Sammy
Sammy is a happy 13 year young Setter who loves people, dogs and exploring outside. He’s in a temp foster home until the beginning of August while he receives Vet care and we figure out the right foster home for him. This dear boy is going blind and wants to play with other dogs. He will do best in a home without stairs where the dogs are friendly and he has a safe yard to explore. He is house and crate trained.
Bradley – Just Rescued
Bradley is a 2 year old ES boy that was a stray in an E Texas shelter. He’s a happy boy with that heartwarming “setter smile”, loves people, fine with other dogs, cats unknown. He’s in a foster home near Dallas, TX and will be ready for adoption when his Vet care is completed. Check back for updates!
Alfie
Meet Alfie, the 4-year-old, 55 pound dog who was the recent subject of SWESR’s “Guess the DNA Profile” game. His genetic results are in and Alfie is 60% herding dog, almost 20% hound dog, with the rest a mix of breeds you’d expect from a state which lacks significant spay/neuter support for the public. What this means for us is that Alfie is a 100% SWESR good boy, and he’s ready for his forever home. He currently lives in Texas, but he’s willing to relocate for the right parents!
Mr. Higgins
Mr. Higgins had several homes before connecting with his forever foster parents as a 7-year-old in 2020. We know his birthday is in 2013, and we know he was at a Colorado shelter in 2015, adopted but then surrendered in 2016 for financial reasons. He was returned to the shelter with sensitivity issues that he had not been assessed with a year earlier. SWESR placed him with a foster parent who’s heart was in the right place, but they couldn’t provide him the exercise he needed. He was also suffering from separation anxiety, so it was clear he needed to find another foster home. His new foster said she wanted to adopt him and she was planning on moving to a property with a fenced yard. As many readers know, a 3-year-old English Setter in apartment living is difficult due to our breed’s energy levels.
Jasper
Jasper is a super sweet and well mannered approximately 9 year young ES boy that was a stray in a rural OK shelter. He’s in a Share the Love – (https://swesr.org/foster-programs/) foster home in the DFW Texas area where he is getting much needed Vet care. He is a smaller boy (about 45 lbs when he gains much needed weight), quiet, house and crate trained, good with other dogs, ok as an only dog, gives kisses to his caretakers, cats unknown. Check back for updates!
Sally
Sweet Sally is an affectionate ES that is almost 2 years old. She made her way to SWESR because she doesn’t have the prey drive to hunt and would rather be a princess. Sally is being adopted by a former SWESR adopter in Wichita, KS.
Koda
Koda is 5 years young and a sweet, goofy ES boy that was pulled from a rural TX shelter where he was dropped off by a hunter. He will be heading to a Setter experienced home in Boulder, CO. Lucky pup!
Scout
In 2013 Kevin and Lisa saw a 4-month old Scout on a website, and they reached out with interest in meeting him. This would have been an easy meet up for Southern Californians, as everyone involved lived within an hour of each other. Young Scout had already had two families as his first mother received him as a gift from her boyfriend, but it turned out she was allergic to dogs. She then re-homed him to a friend who lived in an apartment but couldn’t manage him, at which point Scout was posted on-line, where Kevin and Lisa discovered him. At the last minute, Scout’s family cancelled the meet and greet and, unbeknownst to Kevin and Lisa, put the pup into breed rescue.
