Story
Reese came to us as an owner turn. He was a Christmas present to children and shortly after showed up at the ER with a broken leg. When the owners could not afford to fix it they were going to euthanize him. The staff at the clinic couldn't have that and contacted us. Once out of his medical foster home he came to our shelter and now awaits his second chance. He is a very active boy, loves to play with toys, plays fetch and does well with other dogs, he does love his belly rubs and giving kisses. His leg is completely healed and not expected to have any issues in the future. If interested in adopting Reese please email us for an application.

Story
Sampson is a 50lb, approximately 8-year-old English Setter who came to SWESR after being found as a stray in Utah. He’s settled into his foster home beautifully and has proven to be a sweet, smart, and adaptable boy.   Sammy helped choose his new name (lots of tail wagging) and has responded to it ever since. He’s fully house-trained and clearly communicates when he needs to go outside. He’s also quite talkative in general; whether he’s asking for a walk, a treat, or some attention, he’ll let you know.   He can stay home uncrated for 4-5 hours without any issues. At night, he sleeps soundly on his dog bed next to the human bed and regularly logs a full 8+ hours.   Sammy is very affectionate and loves being close to his people. Hugs and couch snuggles are high on his priority list. Initially he had to work through some mild resource guarding of his humans, particularly around sharing lap or couch time with other dogs, but that issue is now in the past. He gets along well and lives quite peacefully with two other male English Setters. Sammy doesn’t guard toys or food.   He is an active dog who will do best with regular exercise and mental stimulation. His foster mom walks him up to 5 miles a day, which keeps him happy and relaxed in the evenings. Five miles is a lot for most of us, and this is where a large, securely fenced yard would benefit Sammy so he can play and run the perimeter, exercising himself. He has proven himself safe with a 4-foot fence and doesn’t try to jump or climb to escape. He loves long walks and car rides.   Because he was a stray, he can get very excited at doors and may try to push past when heading outside. This is easily managed by leashing him before opening the door. As with any active and inquisitive breed, his new family will want to be mindful about keeping doors and gates secure.   Sammy would probably do well with children of any age, but given his history of mild guarding of human attention, SWESR recommends he be in an adult home or one with older children.   Sampson is a loving, loyal, and active companion who bonds closely with his people and thrives with structure, exercise, and affection. He has the cutest face and is a truly special boy. It will be hard for his Foster Mom to say goodbye, but Sammy is ready for a family all his own.      April 30, 2026, 8:58 pm

Story
Meet Handsome Augustus (Augie) – A playful, sweet and affectionate boy looking for His Forever Home!  This stunning 6-year-old Orange Belton English Setter is ready to find a family that will love and appreciate him. He’s a big boy at about 70 lbs that walks well on a leash, which is quite an accomplishment for an ES. While we know he is an English Setter, we can only speculate about his bloodlines because of his larger size, possibly Ryman? Augie is a smart, independent, treat-motivated boy who picks up on training quickly.  Augie is ok with the company of female dogs his size but honestly people are his favorite, and he doesn’t need another dog in his forever home. No cats please. A medium sized fenced yard that is interesting to patrol for bugs, butterflies, squirrels, birds, etc would suit Augie just fine. Angie’s favorite toy is a nyalabone. He didn’t know what to do with toys when he first arrived in his SWESR foster home and it’s been a joy to watch him learn to have fun playing with toys. He’ll play tug with his person or toss and play with a toy by himself. Augie came from an environment where he was living outside and was pretty much neglected. He’s come so far in rescue and now he’s a family dog. His foster Mom has professional grooming skills and he’s such a good boy on the grooming table; the only thing is the electric clippers are still somewhat scary so she is going slow. He’s come so far and the sky is the limit for this dear boy. In foster care Augie has blossomed into a devoted companion. He loves cuddling, hugging and tummy rubs. Like a true ES, counter surfing is a favorite pastime, but he’s trying very hard to learn his manners and boundaries.  Augie is searching for a kind person who will guide him with love, consistency, and patience. Because of his size and enthusiasm for his people, he’s looking for a home without children (12 and under) or older folks who might be accidentally knocked about by his affectionate nature. Could that be you? Augie is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines and tests.      April 30, 2026, 8:58 pm

Story
This sweet girl was pulled from a high kill shelter with her sister right before the cold weather hit. The facility reached out to us and we couldn't say no. A cold kennel was no place for a 7 lb puppy. The girls are so sweet and affectionate, they love toys and love to snuggle. Aspen loves her belly rubbed while she lies in your lap. She is also a very active little girl and would make a great companion for that active person. But she promises to be a couch potato as needed too. Aspen can be a bit shy with new people, but she is very loyal and gentle. If interested in meeting Aspen please email us.

Story
This sweet face was an owner turn in with his siblings after being weened from Mom. The owner just could not provide for them or get them to a vet, so they reached out to us. The pups were covered in fleas and full of intestinal parasites but seemed in good health otherwise. There were 7 of them, Bryce is one of them! He is super smart, playful, plays fetch, loves playing in water, loves toys, and he loves giving kisses. Bryce would love to meet you. Though Bryce is listed as good with other dogs he is dog-selective. If interested in meeting this handsome boy email us.
