If you have a soft spot for the lovable and loyal English Setter, you’re likely looking for ways to bring one of these beautiful dogs into your life. Adopting from a rescue is a wonderful option, as it not only provides a home to a dog in need but also enriches your own life with companionship. Below are five reputable English Setter rescues that you should know about, whether you’re searching near you or willing to travel.
English Setter Association of America (ESAA)
The ESAA is dedicated to the welfare of English Setters across the United States. They work tirelessly to place abandoned and abused Setters into loving homes. Their website features an adoption page where potential adopters can find available dogs and get information about their foster care system.
Setters on Death Row
Setters on Death Row is a rescue organization focused specifically on saving English Setters from euthanasia in shelters across the country. They have an extensive network of foster homes and work closely with veterinarians to rehabilitate dogs before finding them permanent homes.
The American Pointer Rescue Organization (APRO)
While primarily focused on Pointers, APRO also rescues many English Setters. They have an excellent reputation for their thorough application process which ensures that each dog goes to the right home based on its needs and personality.
Adopt A Pet Foundation
Adopt A Pet Foundation operates numerous animal rescues, including those specifically for hunting breeds like the English Setter. Their mission focuses on rescuing dogs from high-kill shelters and placing them in foster homes while they await adoption.
Local Shelters and Breed-Specific Groups
Many local animal shelters or breed-specific groups may have available English Setters looking for forever homes. It’s always worthwhile checking out local listings or contacting nearby shelters directly to see if they have any setters needing adoption.
Adopting an English Setter through one of these rescues not only gives a dog a second chance at life but also brings immense joy into your home. Remember that each rescue has its own process for applications, so be sure to do your research and prepare yourself for becoming a responsible pet owner.
