Here are some of our most recent rescues:
Edgar
Edgar is a shy 6 year young Setter who has lived outside with his mom Almondine his entire life. He is looking for a patient person with lots of love to give. He needs a home without cats and a 6′ fenced yard. Edgar is in a foster home in Edmond, OK.
Augie
Augie is a 5 year old Orange Belton ES. He’s sweet and is learning about house training and manners in a foster home near Austin TX.
Storytellers
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.
Sydney
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.
Ranger
Many of our readers will be familiar with Ranger. The black and white dog with the two distinctive black eye masks, as of this writing he is the dog on the cover banner for Southwest English Setter Rescue’s (SWESR) Facebook page. Anyone with SWESR calendars from years past will have seen Ranger gracing a monthly page. His markings are naturally stunning, and, let’s be honest, it helps to have parents who know their way around a camera.
