Story

George's Facebook Album June 2024: Happy 2 year rescueanniversary Sir George. He’s come a long way in 2 years, but I haven’t had any adoption inquiries on him in over a year. He’s safe in a loving foster home where he loves to play with his foster sisters and he also loves to look for squirrels. He is also completely spoiled rotten getting the yummiest food and he feels safe and loved. I can’t even imagine how frightened he must have been in that awful cage we saved him from—and him having to suffer being outside 24/7 in all weather. It is a feel good to know his life is so much better now. February 2024: at long last-- my sweetie pie is heartworm negative!! So are 3 of his sisters which makes me very proud as Illinois Birddog Rescue will only do the slow kill treatment plan. His 3 sisters are in loving forever homes and I can hope that his perfect new momma is out there looking for him. The funny part about Georgie is that lately he has turned into a fuzzball with the funniest hair. He is also having the best time watching the squirrels in the yard as we have several building nests in our big trees. George has also become the sweetest most loving dog. He loves to be loved on. He loves to be brushed and he loves any attention he can get. January 2024: I've taken quite a few indoor photos of Georgie since the weather change so take a look at his album. He is so happy being an indoor dog considering his past life. I've gotten to know him a lot better too. He's been so great with all my dogs, especially my senior dogs and he is 100% cat safe. His passion is squirrel hunting and he will watch the antics of the squirrels for hours if I would let him. Lately we have been doing a lot more cuddles and George loves to be brushed. He's been a good sport about modeling the fundraising dog coats and a dog bed we also had in a fundraiser. The perfect home with George would be with a single lady or a pair of ladies that will give him time to trust. While I've always been able to love on George, it would be an adjustment for him to move to a new forever home. If there was a sweet female playful dog in the home, that would be even better. I have not taken him out and about so I don't know how he would do at a pet store or on a walk. My goal has just always been to help him get over the horrible life he had prior to coming into our rescue in June of 2022. He seems to have suffered the worst and is fearful with flashlights especially. He can get overly excited when folks walk by the house and delivery vehicles also get him a little excited. The sound of garbage trucks tend to scare him too. George will need a home with a privacy fence or a fence that has vertical bars which is working well for his fence jumping sister. In the perfect home, George will be a loving companion and if with a single lady-- a reliable watch dog. I am hopeful that his next heartworm test will be negative. Lyme disease is NOT curable so he will have to have annual testing and periodic antibiotic therapy the rest of his life. June 2022: George is a very handsome Liver/ Tricolor and white Field bred English Setter. He is an owner surrender and lived most of his life in an outdoor pen were he was trained to pee and poop through wires that he was also force to walk on. His neglect includes heartworm and Lyme disease and he had a 103 temperature upon arrival to our vet. George has started heartworm slow kill and is feeling better and we hope his sweet personality comes to the surface the longer he is treated. I was told the dogs are 6 years old but we will never know for sure. He is underweight and weighed 49lbs but should be closer to 55. We need to treat him at least a month before he can be neutered. He will need work on cage and house training. We are looking for a Foster to Adopt home in the Chicago area so we can monitor his care. candidates also need to have a traditional safe fenced in yard as the last thing George needs is any more stress. He is starved for attention and we are hopeful he will have a long happy life. If you would like to help, please click HERE to submit a foster to adopt home application.

Story

Click here for Reggie's Facebook Album April 2025: My precious, silly Reggie is an owner surrender, but he's been one of the easiest fosters I have ever had. I worked with his owners to get him into my vet to look for Rocky Mountain spotted fever- due to some of his odd behaviors. We did find it and antibiotics and supplements have really helped him and his brain health. He's got a few manageable triggers, like he can't be around any outdoor grilling or outdoor fires. His circling behavior is so much better and the drooling he was doing at his old home is pretty much gone. He's probably been sick since he was a puppy and I have a lot of experience with dogs with RMSF issues, including my own deaf Setter. Reggie came to me cage and house trained and while he loves to run around the yard and chase tweetie birds, he settles down nicely indoors. He is so cuddly and such a lap puppy too. He is GREAT with all dogs and he is perfectly cat safe. Reggie also has a nice recall and will usually come when called in the yard. He's such a cool pup- and I really want him to do some fun stuff like AKC FastCAT because he would LOVE to chase a plastic bag on a lure as fast as he can. Reggie could also be trained in other things like Barn Hunt, Obedience and Agility. I was told he is gun shy- so no hunting homes. A fenced in yard is MANDATORY for Reggie to keep him happy and safe. I just love this dog and hope to find him the best home-- he is very special. March 2025: Reggie is a VERY active Tricolor and white American Field Bred English Setter. He is about a year and a 1/2 old and has been a pet since he was brought home as a puppy from a breeder in Illinois. He is an owner surrender and needs an active home with a decent sized fenced in yard in the Chicago area. He is cage and house trained and great with other dogs. NO HUNTING HOMES-- he is gun shy!!
