Hildy's story...
NOTE: This rescue is registered in Cary, NC, but our rescued dogs are in foster homes in various locations such as: PA, NY, TN, KY, GA, MN, etc For more information on our Rescue, or to fill out an adoption application please visit us at www.esrescue.org

Hildy is so sweet and loving. She is a real couch cuddler even if she does stretch out so you don't have any option except to let her head lay in your lap so you can tickle her tummy.

She prefers sleeping on the bed at night which is OK with me. The only problem is that she insists on sleeping on my pillow instead of the other side of the bed or at the bottom. When I awake in the morning, she has backed up against my legs sound asleep.

Hildy is housebroken and crate trained. Still needs work with the lease. The only cats she has seen have been thru the fence and she barks at them. She is very friendly with adults and has let several children pet her.

When she and my dog Abbey are playing in the fenced area, she loves to run and run and run around the yard. She has birds and squirrels and falling leaves to chase. She also likes to chase balls and will bring it back and drop it at your feet. Inside she likes squeaky toys to play with. She comes when called when she wants to do so.

She really is a very hyper dog and needs a lot o running time every day, not just walking

I don't know how old she is, maybe 2-3 yrs. She only weighs about 35 lbs. but she eats as much as 2 dogs. She runs off any chance of gaining weight.

She is a fun dog to have around and play with and tries to be the boss.

Mission Statement

Above and Beyond English Setter Rescue's goal is rescuing English Setters in need of new homes. While in our care the dogs will be vetted, spayed or neutered, and evaluated in foster homes, where they can learn love and
stability and we can determine which type of home would work best for each dog. Once adopted Above and Beyond volunteers will be available for the dogs and adopters for each dogs life, with advice and support. Our mission is
to put English Setters welfare first and foremost. We are a non-profit, charitable 501(c)(3) organization. 100% of your donation goes to help English Setters in need and is tax deductible.

Each home will be carefully screened to determine whether an English Setter is the correct choice. Home visits will be done as well as reference checks, no dog will be placed before it's time. Every dog rescued by Above and Beyond English Setter rescue will remain in our care until the correct match is found for that dog. English Setters in Above and Beyond's care will never be warehoused. Each dog will live in a home situation (no kennels or living outdoors) as either the ONLY foster dog or one of 2 foster dogs, so a true evaluation of each dog can occur before adoption.

We also will assist shelters housing English Setters by courtesy posting the dogs they have available and if the shelter agrees we will speak to potential adopters about the breed and help with screening.

For more information on our mission, or for assistance, please contact Michael Myers or anyone listed on our Contacts page.

Our Adoption Process...
When an application is submitted, you will receive a phone call and an initial review. The next step is to check your references and then a home visit will be scheduled, if you are approved through each of the prior steps. Every dog in A and B's program is available until an approved adopter speaks for that dog. No one can speak for any dog until they are approved and we do NOT hold dogs for anyone. We have had people who were disappointed that they did not get the dog they initially applied for, but the ones who hung in there with us would not change a thing now that they have their A & B Dog.

Please Note: You must be at least 21 years old to apply to adopt an A&B Setter. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Signature is implied and assumed on e-mail & online Adoption Applications.

Above & Beyond English Setter Rescue will be raising its adoption fee to $245.00 on all applications received as of April 1st, 2007. We have made every attempt at keeping our adoption fee the lowest we could despite the rising costs associated with spaying and neutering, immunizations and other related routine care. In some instances our adoption fee’s never comes close to the care associated before an adoption of one of our dogs takes place. We do feel however that our adoption fee is still less then if the adopter had to pay these expenses out of their pocket. Also remember we include the first year of complete pet recovery protection for your dog with your adoption fee through Pet Shepherd.

Above and Beyond does have dogs in various areas of the country. Do not be discouraged if you are not in our core areas of PA, NJ, MD, DE, NY.See the link below for more information. Seniors and Special Needs dogs are usually less.
