Currently available Rescue Irish Setters

Adopting A Friend

All of our rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, heartworm tested and treated if necessary, and micro chipped or tattooed for permanent identification. We require that all of our dogs be house dogs, as Setters do not do well being outside-only dogs. If the placement does not work out, we require that the dog be returned to our program. 

 

 

Ginger

 

Ginger is a very sweet and mild mannered Senior Canine Citizen (16 years old!!) that just entered our rescue system.  As expected she is somewhat frail but gets around very well for a dog her age.  She needs a very special loving home INDOORS ONLY with someone who can help her spend her remaining days in comfort and companionship.

 

        

 

If you are interested in adopting a lifelong Irish Setter friend, here's the three step process:

Step 1.  Read everything you can find on the Irish Setter breed.  Discuss the adoption commitment carefully with your family and friends.  We want our placements to be "forever homes" and a good match for both the human and the dog.  Irish Setters are not "gifts" or "surprise Christmas or Birthday presents". 

Step 2.  Carefully read our Rescue Contract.  It details both your responsibilities and ours in the placement of a Rescue Irish Setter.  You will be required to sign this contract as a part of the adoption process.

Step 3.  Complete our Rescue/Foster/Adoption Application. This will give us the necessary information to insure that the dog will be in a good forever home and will be a good match for your situation.  Someone from our Rescue Committee will then contact you to answer any questions and to schedule a home visit.

Please note that we charge a fee for the placement of the Rescue Irish Setter (typically $150.00 but sometimes higher in special cases).  This helps to defer our veterinary costs.

 

Please send any questions, inquiries or comments to the Rescue Committee Chairman
