Story
Meet Ben, a gentle golden retriever with a heart full of potential. Rescued from China, Ben spent the first few years of his life confined to a cage, missing out on the joys most dogs take for granted. As a result of his past and limited activity, he is currently a bit overweight and still learning how to simply be a dog. Despite everything, Ben is incredibly sweet and craves kindness and consistency. He can be protective of his belongings like blankets and toys, a reflection of never having had anything to call his own before. Ben is searching for a committed foster or adopter who will patiently show him what it means to be part of a loving home. While he adjusts and gains confidence, Ben would do ok in a home with another dog that is not too alpha. Also children who are a little older. He deserves a fresh start—and someone willing to help him discover the good life he's always deserved. 4o ##1810947##

Story
About Me Hi, I’m Makai. I'm 2 years old, and I came to SCGRR last year after a good samaritan helped me get off the streets. I’d been living with a person who struggled with addiction and had to learn to fend for myself. Since coming to SCGRR I’ve learned how wonderful it is to be in a home with people, plenty of food and a warm bed. I’ve been through a lot, and I’m still learning how to be the best dog I can be. People tell me I’m a big boy weighing in at 90 pounds. My people are working to give me training, but sometimes I forget how big I can be. For this reason, I probably shouldn’t be in a house with young kids. As I had to fight a bit on the streets, I’m not really fond of other dogs and really want to be your one and only. In return, I will give tons of love and laughs, and probably even a bit of protection. I love to be near my humans; it’s my favorite thing in the world. I like to greet new people, and I’m getting used to how nice it feels when they’re gentle with me. I’m really good in the car, and I’m learning to walk on a leash in the yard. At this point my trainer is recommending that I not going on walks out of the yard as I’m not very good at meeting other dogs. I like to play with bouncy balls. I also sniff around the counters, but my humans have made sure I can’t find any tasty surprises there. I really just want a quiet house to rest in and a yard of my own to play in. My Ideal Home I’m a big guy, so I need a yard where I can run around and play. I would do best in a home without children, just because I’m still learning how to be gentle with my size and I’d never want to accidentally hurt anyone. I want to be your only one so please no other dogs, cats or animals. If you have the patience to help me learn and grow, I promise to give you all the love and loyalty I have. I would really benefit from continued training. I just want to spend my life with my forever human. Will you be that person? Want to Adopt me? If you believe your home is the perfect match for me, please make sure you have first submitted an adoption application (https://scgrrescue.org/adoption-app/) and completed your home interview with a SCGRRescue Volunteer. Then, tell my personal representative (aka Rep), more about why we are a great match via email at scgrr.adopt@gmail.com Please note: We are only able to cover and adopt out to residents of Southern California. Adoption fee: $600.00 February 24, 2025, 10:20 am

Story
Sophie is a very sweet 4-year-old Golden Retriever. She was previously a breeder dog, and is now looking for a life of love, comfort and ease. Sophie would like a home where someone is around most of the time. She is fine with other dogs (although not particularly playful with them so far) and she can be a bit shy with people and dogs when she first meets them. She loves her walks, so a moderately active family is a must. Sophie does require daily eye drops and periodic eye check-ups, and would like some help losing a little bit of weight. She’s ready to find her forever home where she can get lots of love, cuddles and walks.

Adopting a English Setter

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an English Setter - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt an English Setter at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting an English Setter is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying English Setters from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $4,000.

The easiest way to adopt an English Setter would be through a rescue that specializes in English Setters. A great place to start would be to start a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available English Setters in your area.

English Setter fun facts

Fun Facts:

English Setters are born white and as they mature, their coat acquires their spots, known as "belton flecking."

English Setters are referred to as "Laverack Setters" because in the 1800s, British breeder Edward Laverack helped create the modern breed we know today.

Setters are so-called because in Great Britain, hunting dogs were bred to sit quietly when they smelled game (as opposed to "pointers" that were popular elsewhere in Europe) and wait for their hunter/masters to arrive, thus they became known as "setters."
