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. She’s medium/low energy level for a field ES. She’s good with cats and medium/larger dogs with similar temperaments to an ES. Sally is in a foster home in the Dallas area.
Delia is a 1.5 year old youngster that weighs 37 lbs and was rescued by SWESR because she prefers cuddling to hunting. This sweet girl will be heading to her forever home in TX and joining SWESR Chili and Penny.
Mia is a 42 lb blue belton beauty that is reserved and calm for a 1.5 year old field ES.

Mia is good with other dogs. She’s in a foster home near Dallas, TX to give her time to recover from a rough start in life. Check back for updates!

Barbara Woof-Woof Interviews SWESR Luna, Field Setter, who is looking for her forever home.
BWW: Luna, thanks for sitting down with us today so your public can get to know you better. You sit so beautifully!
Luna: Thank you, Barbara, yes, I do very well with Sit and Stay commands. I’m also house-trained and am not a picky eater.
BWW: You do look slightly … Rubenesque.
Luna: I am a full-figured, 6-year-old female. I celebrate my curves, but if my veterinarian really thinks I should become more svelte, I’m happy to go on long walks or run around a backyard to get my exercise. I also adore my plush toys, and it’s such fun when I discover one of them has a squeaker!
Bizzie is 8 years young and 42 lbs. She was rescued from a hunting ranch in TX. She didn’t acknowledge her name and she is one of the most active middle-aged ES girls her foster Mom has fostered, thus the name Bizzie. She’s pretty good with other dogs, but on her terms and space. She likes to sniff one cat and gives the other cat that is dominant with dogs the respect she demands. She’s affectionate with people and melts into you for hugs. She’ll need very secure fencing (4 foot probably ok) and a Setter interesting medium or large yard.
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 so we assume no on hunting. We believe he is fine with other dogs, cats unknown. He charmed all the transporters and dare we say he’s a balanced ES boy. He will be going to a foster home in St Louis, MO. Check back for updates!
Taco Dogler is one lucky ES youngster! A Good Sam in Idaho found him with a crushed crate on the roadside. An ES rescuer coordinated him going to a foster home in MT. He is good with people and other dogs.
Leo and Betsy have always had dogs. Betsy works in a veterinary hospital in an animal shelter, so it is no surprise that their pack consists entirely of rescued dogs. They have fostered numerous pups, including labradors going through heartworm treatment, as well as American Bulldogs. Their introduction to English Setters came when they agreed to foster a spaniel “just for a week”. The week turned into three years, and that “spaniel” was their first English Setter, a Llewellin named Taliesin (Talley, for short). They fell in love with the breed, and when Talley crossed the Rainbow Bridge Leo and Betsy discovered SWESR when looking for the next member of their family.
Sky is 5 years young and 48 lbs. She was rescued from a hunting ranch in TX. Sky will be heading to Helena, MT to join her Setter experienced family.
