Storytellers
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.
Misty
Misty’s story is one of love, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between a family and their dog. It all began when Misty, a sweet little English Setter puppy who happened to be born deaf, was surrendered by her original owners when she was 3 1/2 months old. They didn’t want her because they felt that she would be unable to hunt due to her inability to hear.
Fate had better plans for Misty. She found her way into the loving care of her Southwest English Setter Rescue (SWESR) foster mom, Sherry. Sherry is a kind and caring woman with a heart of gold who would train and care for Misty until she could find her forever family.
Rio and Tracee
Mary and her husband Mark live in the Blue Ridge mountains in North Carolina. They have owned six Llewellyn Setters over the years, four of which are SWESR alumni. Rio and Tracee are their most recent SWESR dogs.
