Story
Rusty is about 2 years old, 15kg, Neutered male, English Setter mix! Rusty just has been rescued from a high-risk shelter where he was on the euthanasia list. He was brought in after being reported by a local resident. When found, he was wearing a yellow collar, suggesting he may have been kept tied up in a yard or at a factory rather than living inside a home. Rusty is very affectionate—not only with familiar people but also with strangers. He happily approaches people, enjoys physical contact, and is easy to handle. He is comfortable with both women and men. Although he hasn’t interacted with children under 13, he shows no fear or wariness toward people, so he’s likely to get along well with younger kids too. He allows people to lift him by placing their arms under his belly and, once he’s comfortable, even shows his belly. He’s curious about other dogs, but it seems he hasn’t had much experience playing with them. When other dogs approach him to play, he initially seems unsure and simply wags his tail, but after some time, he begins to run around and join in. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes—larger, similar-sized, and smaller—and tends to avoid overly energetic dogs. Even when other dogs are reactive or challenging, he remains calm and non-confrontational. He hasn’t been tested with cats yet, but that can be arranged if needed. Rusty has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities but knows how to settle down and rest quietly afterward. He has no fear of the leash, but it seems he hasn’t had much leash-walking experience. He tends to stop and sniff often and pulls a bit toward where he wants to go. That said, he generally follows people well and is not reactive to noise. Rusty does not guard food from people or other dogs. He does not show signs of separation anxiety and is quiet and calm in a kennel. He rarely barks. As he was only recently rescued, he does not yet respond to his name and has not learned basic cues like “sit” or making eye contact. However, he’s a sweet, people-loving dog with a gentle nature, and we hope he finds a guardian who can show him a better world and help him grow. You can also see his post on our Facebook(Link to Post) or Instagram(Link to Post) Youngi is an affectionate, lively, and well-mannered pup who’s been waiting far too long for her chance. She’s ready to bring joy, playfulness, and love into a forever home of her own.

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."
