ALL SETTER RESCUE

Foster Homes are always welcomed!

Although there is never a shortage of dogs that need help, the current economic situation has made it especially hard for rescues to keep up with the demand of services. All Setter Rescue is no exception - we always have dogs that need saving and short on foster homes to place them in temporarily, before permanent homes are found.

Would you like to provide a temporary safe haven for a Setter?

Fostering is not a lifetime commitment (unless you decide to make it one), it simply provides a temporary home for a 4-legged friend, helps us evaluate each dog individually for successful permanent placement and provides a second chance for these animals. Sometimes it can be challenging, but always a very rewarding experience.

Please contact Chris at AllSetterRescue@aol.com to obtain a foster application and more information.

We also always welcome volunteers to help with adoption events, home checks, transportation, etc.

FRIDAY - Colorado

Friday is a tri-colored, Field bred, English setter male. He’s appx. 45 pounds, neutered and current on vaccinations. At just two years old, he’s a busy boy with plenty of puppy energy to spare. He likes kids, is great with other dogs and the first time he met kitties, he was intrigued enough to set them for an hour! Then he asked them to come out and play, but since they weren’t allowed, the jury is still out on what he’d do with them up close and personal.
He’s jovial, fun loving and LOVES lap-time once he’s worn out enough to slow down. He’s not afraid to ask for what he wants, is very intelligent and working hard on commands, but distractions sometimes get the better of him. He’s a great, fun-loving dog with fantastic potential for a family that’s willing to work with him!

MEAGHAN - Colorado

Meaghan is a Field bred English Setter about 8 or 9 years old. She is intact. She's been a kennel dog, brood bitch, and will need some work on leads, etc. Seems to be housebroken, but not sure. She is crate-trained. When outside, she does actively look for birds, etc., so may have been hunted with. She gets along with other dogs but is a bit stand offish and acts like an old dam that tries to discipline puppies. Do not know how she would be around small children and would suggest that be approached with care. She's rather independant.

Bentley - Colorado

Bentley is a playful pup that is still growing into his legs! He’s a Blue Belton English Setter, neutered male, appx. 7 months old and 30-ish pounds. Before he arrived at All Setter Rescue, he had no idea that life could be so much fun and there was so much to see and do. He’s learning quickly about playmates, joy and that food is available for the asking (he was pretty skinny when he arrived). He’s fun, curious and full of puppy energy. He’ll require lots of exercise and a fenced yard to run off steam in. Lots of snuggles, love and a 4-legged partner in crime - oops - did I say that? I meant he'd love a partner for fun. Those are his greatest wishes.

Dakota

A note to ASR:

Just thought I would touch base and give an update on Dakota. She seems to be adjusting well to her new surroundings. We have learned to put things (food) on the counter away so as not to temp her to counter surf. Two weeks ago she spent a long weekend at Lake MacCounagha as her and I had a weekend camping trip. Needless to say she ran the beach for days and when she wasn’t running she was pointing butterflies. This Sunday (today) we ran in another Colorado Gun Dog Club field trial and she placed 3rd in Novice and we are still working on her retrieve. She and the cat still have an understanding and we have not gotten any kittens yet so we’ll see how that goes. I have taught her the “heel” command and she does it well (at times). That’s all for now I’ll keep you posted on her progress.
