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 joins his new mom in Las Vegas, NV.
Matty
Seven-month-old Matty was surrendered to SWESR in October 2022 by an older couple who could no longer provide Matty the home she needed due to their developing health difficulties. Bob and Lona had lost one of their English Setters just four weeks earlier. Lona was looking at SWESR’s Facebook page when she saw Matty’s picture and she was immediately hit with the gut feeling of “that’s my dog”. This awareness was difficult, as Bob and Lona had agreed that after 30 years of marriage and a total of 6 English Setters, they would now become a one dog family. But still, the feeling, the knowledge: “that’s my dog.”
Alfie
Alfie is a 4 year young “Settery looking mix” boy that loves other dogs, people and mostly ignores cats. He’s Setter sweet but has more of a Golden personality. He’s 55 lbs, in a foster home in central TX and looking for a fun loving forever home.
Han Solo – Just Rescued
Han Solo is 9 years young and came to SWESR when his family was not able to keep him. He is 65 lbs, house and crate trained, and good with dogs and cats. He loves people and bonded quickly with his foster parents in CO. Check back for updates!
Alywn – Adoption Pending
Alwyn is a handsome 8 year young bench ES that found his way to SWESR (with the blessing of his breeder) after his owner passed away. Alwyn is being adopted by his foster mom near Denver, CO.
Sampson
There are few things this writer enjoys more than a really good mystery: a whodunnit, a whydunnit, and a howdunnit. But I’ve come across a mystery I can’t solve, and I, on behalf of SWESR, need your help to get it resolved.
Why hasn’t Sampson found his forever home yet?
Tammy
SWESR Tammy spent the first 9 months of her life living in a setting created by one of the worst sorts of human anyone involved in dog rescue can imagine. Her owner was a puppy miller who sold dogs to wholesalers. When the wholesaler stopped buying his puppies, the owner simply hoarded them. Nine of his dogs were rescued in 2019 and became known as the Junction 9. Horrifically, this reprehensible man continued to hoard dogs, and in 2020 seventeen more Setters were rescued from him (the Junction Jazz), then six more in 2021. Tammy was a part of the Junction 9.
Gus – (now Lionel) – Adoption Pending
Gus is approximately 10 years young and he was a stray in a Utah shelter in a very neglected state. A good Sam got him groomed and all the mats removed. SWESR pulled him and he had an extensive dental with 9 extractions. This sweet, lovable, good with other dogs, senior boy is being adopted by his foster mom in Henderson, NV.
Sonny
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’s good with other dogs, previously lived with children, cats are an unknown but not likely. Sonny is in a foster home in Edmond, OK.
