From Foster to Forever

SWESR’s From Foster to Forever communications will highlight SWESR Setters who are ready for adoption. Fostering is a critical part of the rescue process. A dog is rescued, they enter the foster program and ultimately leave as a newly adopted family member.
With these From Foster to Forever stories we hope to provide education about our special breed and the rescue process, as well as open up foster homes for new incoming dogs. We also want to generate a call to action to our followers to share these stories in conversation and on social media so these deserving dogs can find their forever home.
If you are interested in volunteering on the From Foster to Forever team by writing these communications, email us at info@swesr.org with your name and phone number, and tell us why you want to be a part of this program. This is a great way to volunteer and no need to commit more than a few hours every month or two.

Kris
In late November 2023 Kris came into rescue as one of three English Setters owner surrendered to an Oklahoma municipal shelter. This particular shelter works with SWESR volunteers, and they called an experienced SWESR foster, Deb, to pick up the dogs.
All three dogs were in rough shape. They were underweight. Their skin was terrible, and Deb knew they would never be adopted looking as bad as they did. The plan was for the dogs to be boarded, as there were no available foster homes with immediate openings for three pups.
