ALL SETTER RESCUE

HERE IS A LISTING of SETTERS NEEDING HOMES. THEIR BIOS and the INFORMATION we have IS LISTED BELOW THEIR PHOTOS.

FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION CONTACT BOB OR CHRIS. THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION IS LISTED TO THE LEFT OF THE PAGE.

While all placements are special, placing Lefty and Righty, two brothers, is extra special. They came to All Setter Rescue about a year ago. It was always Bob's intentions to place the two brothers together. Inquiries for two rescues is not all that common, but it was mentioned, to all interested parties, that these two brothers should stay together.

It was very difficult for Bob to say, goodbye, you are going to your fur-ever home. However, a great and generous couple contacted ASR requesting specifically to adopt them both. They are doing great and look to have found their forever home and humans. Another success story for ASR.

Here is Riley. He came in from Kansas. From the digitals that were sent to me via email I could not really tell how much English Setter breeding was there. Now that I see him in the flesh there maybe a little English mixed with Spaniel, mixed with something else. Probably more Spaniel but most likely a number of breeds. He does have the long, almost English setter like tail.

He is about 10 to 11 years old, neutered male, quite possibly some deafness, but really a well behaved sweetheart. Appears to be in good health, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, housebroken, gets along well with other dogs, and would be perfectly happy in one's lap. Riley is crate trained and he does respond to hand signals. I am not convinced that he is 100% deaf.

Goldie is an 8 yr old (estimated), spayed female that was a stray and probably hit by a car. The shelter's vet gave the following report : Goldie was brought in on a stray hold with some toe touching on the right rear leg. There were abrasions noted over both hind legs. The right hind leg has a large area of abrasion over the hock. There are no obvious fractures palpated from the hip area down the leg. The left leg also has a large area of abrasions. The leg is weight bearing and no obvious fractures were palpated. Suspect that Goldie was HBC and these abrasions are areas of "road rash". Wounds were cleaned. Will start on antibiotics and pain management.

All Setter Rescue picked her up in mid July from Table Mountain Animal Shelter. She was in pretty bad shape at that time and it was hard getting her back up on her feet. Her injuries are almost all healed over and her appetite and weight greatly improved. More importantly, we finally got her over a severe lung and coughing problem. It was a bit touch and go for a while but she has come along ways. She is very quiet, very sweet and well behaved. She needs a home to call her own. She really warmed up and began healing after she was taken out of isolation and put with my dogs in the house. I think she was really down emotionally. She gets along with other dogs, crate broke and pretty good with the housebreaking. She has had pups, probably a number of litters and was probably tossed out due to her age.

Here leg injuries/abrasions have cleared up nicely and she is now using all four legs, when before she was really sore in the rear. There might be some arthritis in her rear, but mostly I see age, lack of muscle mass and conditioning as being her initial problems (aside from the obvious injuries she sustained). More exercise, vitamin C and steady diet will continue to improve her physically and emotionally.

The photos originally recieved of Irish Mist looked like she had English Setter breeding in her. We had to decide whether to help her and we decided it was the right thing to do.

Irish Mist is about size of a bench English and now about 55 to 60 pounds. She is about 4 years old, has been bred at least once and will need tobe spayed before she can be placed. She may have some Great Pyrenees breeding in her but much smaller in size and bone. My guess is that she is a product of the mills in Missouri for the dog auctions. Her attitude has been getting better and she does not cower as much. I think she would do better with a female but she does pretty good with me. She does get excited about going outside and just getting attention. She does not show the personality of an English in my mind. Treated right and loved and I think that she would become a good house companion and a dog that would love to go on walks. She does not like this cold weather that we are having now.

I do think there is some English setter in her somewhere but it is pretty hard to see now. In any regard, whatever her breeding, she is now here in Colorado and we will try our best to place her.

Lefty and Righty are quite a pair! They are neutered males, weight on both is about 55 pounds and they're approximately 2 years old. Two healthy boys, current on their shots, housebroken, fantastic with kids of all ages and curious about cats.Righty is the birdier of the two but both are quite accomplished at patrolling the yard! They love toys and are expert snugglers! They will need a fenced yard to run in, plenty of opportunities for cuddling and in return they promise years of unconditional love!It is runmored that these boys may be littermates and they're pretty inseparable. We'd like to place them together as they do keep one another entertained.

Sammie is beautiful. She's a dainty, active, outgoing, affectionate female Orange Belton. She’s 4 years old and a petite 32 pounds with piercing brown eyes; current on shots and spayed. She loves kids and prefers another dog to run around with, but is not good with cats. Wildlife is a great temptation for Sammie and she can easily scale a fence if she thinks she might catch a rabbit. Supervision is highly recommended. Sammie can be a bit of a barker when seeking attention and transitions make her nervous, however, this go-getter warms up easily and is looking forward to her forever home.

Gracie needs someone to dote on. She’s very birdy and gives the squirrels a run for their money by day, but her heart is in your lap at night. She is active, sweet mannered, companionable, house-broken and would love another dog for company. This Orange Belton English Setter, spayed female is thought to be around 3 years old and weighs 45 pounds. She needs a yard to run in, is curious about being friends with cats and will warm the hearts of her fur-ever home! She loves to jog with her human and gets along well with other dogs.

Bowdie is a 6 year old, neutered, tri-colored male who is active and energetic. At approximate 60 pounds, we believe he is Field/Bench bred. He’s great with other dogs and kids, but cats are another thing. He loves to chase them.

Chase lives up to his name. This active 3 year-old is quite a mover and shaker! He's an Orange Belton, he's neutered and approximately 45 pounds. He is sweet natured and good indoors but will require additional housebreaking. He also needs plenty of exercise to curb his fence-running tendencies.

Milo is the free-spirited type. This active, neutered Orange Belton is approximately 5 years old and 60 pounds. He loves to snuggle and have his tummy rubbed, does well with other dogs and cats captivate his attention. So far we have only seen Milo point them. He is very good, house-trained and well behaved. He would do best in an active, yet controlled adult home as he is a fence-climber and a very accomplished escape artist.

Rascal is a Lemon Belton with perhaps a touch of Welsh Springer Spaniel or Brittany in him. He is neutered and approximately 2 years old. He's current on shots. Rascal is a well-behaved gentleman, attentive, housebroken and loves to go for car rides. He is good with other dogs and usually ignores cats.
