Story
Hi, I’m Bizzie, and I love the name SWESR gave me because I’m a very busy girl and when I’m outside, I am all business! I spent the first 8 years of my life at a hunting ranch where I made lots of babies for them and occasionally got to hunt. The hunting ranch guy told these rescue people that I wasn’t interested in hunting anymore and that’s why they could have me. Boy did I fool everyone! I just wanted out of that outside kennel where I spent all my time. Now that I’m “rescued” I can work this very large, interesting fenced yard in my Texas Hill Country foster home for hours at a time. My foster Mom says I will need a home with either a large and interesting fenced yard or a medium sized interesting fenced yard and a very active person that can keep up with me and take me out in the field regularly. She told me about places called deserts that would not be interesting and would be very hot and that doesn’t sound like my type of place. And there are places where you can get snowed in for weeks and that doesn’t sound great either because during an ice storm last month, I was still wanting to be out working this yard and keeping those squirrels and birds under control. Rain and mud doesn’t bother me at all, bring it on! I can be a a bossy girl but my foster Mom explained to me how important it is to respect the 14 year old Setter girl who is the princess of the place. And there’s this bossy 18 year old cat that explained to me on day 1 that she is the queen of the place and I said “yes ma’am” and I steer clear of her! I’m fine to leave the royalty to them, while I am the one that does the real work around here taking care of everything outside. There’s a socially awkward ES boy about my age that tries to keep up with me (impossible) and appreciates my leadership. I explained to him how things would work early on. When the sun goes down, I’ve learned to appreciate the comfort of couch lounging and resting up for the next day’s activity. I’m not really interested in kids, there were some small ones here recently and they were loud and unpredictable so I avoided them. I get super excited when my foster Mom gets affectionate with me, it’s such a new and unexpected thing and I like it! I sleep in a crate at night and the occasional times my foster Mom is gone during the day, she says that is the only reliable “off switch” she’s found when I’m inside. She praises me for not having any “accidents” in weeks, but I know that’s because she’s finally been trained to watch for my cues that I want to go outside. All in all, life is really great and I’m loving this thing called rescue.  From Bizzie’s foster Mom: I have had field ES many decades, and I have been rescuing and fostering for about 20 years. Many amazing ES have passed through my doors. At my senior age, my specialty and preference is senior fosters. I “thought” I was bringing home a retired hunting ranch dog that was ready to kick back and chill. Boy was I mistaken! That first week with Bizzie was like getting hit in the face with a fire hose. She didn’t stop except when I made her, she was able to get her front legs through the 4” gaps in my wrought iron fencing several times. She’s definitely a girl after the heart of true ES enthusiasts with intense hunting instincts and drive. She wore an inflatable donut around her neck for the first month to keep her from trying to wiggle through or under the fence (she never tried to go over thankfully). She’s quite spectacular but you have to really be on your game to appreciate and keep up with her. I believe she would run herself to heat exhaustion. Even in 60 degree weather after running, she lays in the water bucket to drink and cool off at the same time. I keep hoping she’ll realize this is her new life and she doesn’t have to go so long and so hard, so I’ve held off posting her to see. Maybe she’s settled down a bit because now she will willingly take a mid-day rest for maybe an hour. But she’s showing no signs of wanting to really slow down.  Bizzie wasn’t fast to accept our routine, but now that she has, she could run the place without me, she’s that smart. She came to us with a badly damaged tail from chronic happy tail and our DVM said we had to amputate it for her own wellbeing. She’s muscled up so much with all the exercise, that trying to squeeze through my wrought iron fencing is no longer a possibility. With her tail stub that wags 100 miles an hour, her well-toned body and running style she reminds me more of a GSP in action.  If you are experienced and ready for this level of dog, Bizzie will not disappoint. I believe she’s a once in a lifetime adventure partner for the right person. She’ll need very secure fencing, doors and gates always securely closed (so no kids coming and going) and a person that is around a lot to meet her high energy/prey drive daily needs. She co-exists with other dogs but doesn’t need them. I think she would be too much activity level for small dogs. She’s quite respectful of inside cats, I think outside cats would trigger her high prey drive and may not be safe. She’s confident, attentive and gives great eye contact. She has a whoa like I’ve never seen and she’s coming when I call her. The question is, are you ready for and worthy of a dog like Bizzie?  March 24, 2026, 6:18 am

Story
Hi! I’m Alwyn. I’m an 8&#226&#128&#145year&#226&#128&#145young, 88&#226&#128&#145lb bench English Setter with a heart as big as my paws. Life threw me a tough curveball when my dad passed away. I was left alone in the home with only a doggie door for company and no regular meals. A kind person stepped in to feed and check on me every other day, but I was still very much on my own. By the time I reached my foster mom, I was matted, unkempt, and in need of some TLC. After vaccines and a much&#226&#128&#145needed grooming (yes, most of my coat had to be shaved), I’m looking handsome again—and feeling even better.   I’m a giant puffball who loves meeting new people, often greeting them with enthusiasm and, occasionally, a little drool. I’m happiest when I’m close to my person and I’m an affectionate cuddler. My drooling tends to increase when I’m anxious, but it has improved now that I’m in a stable home. I also drool for a few minutes after taking a big drink of water, which just seems to be part of my charm.   I currently live with two dogs, including one who is almost my size. I enjoy playing with her, though I’m careful and respectful because she can be a bit assertive. I’m very sweet with the smaller dog as well, and I don’t mind sharing the bed with both of them. I have not lived with cats. For a big boy, I’m surprisingly agile and can hop into an SUV or onto a bed with ease.   I’m a laid&#226&#128&#145back companion most of the time, but I do struggle when my foster mom leaves the house. After everything I’ve been through, I’ve developed some separation anxiety. When she heads out, I may bark or jump and scratch at the door she leaves from. We’re working on helping me feel more secure and confident, and I’m already making progress.   I’ve learned to use the dog door in my foster home and I’m about 95% house&#226&#128&#145trained. When I first arrived, I did some marking, but I quickly learned that wasn’t acceptable. I’m very motivated by treats, though I sometimes get a little too excited and grab them quickly—an open palm works best while I practice better manners. I listen well overall, even though I don’t know many commands yet, and I walk fairly nicely on a leash and harness.   In short, I’m a big, loving, resilient dog who wants nothing more than companionship, stability, and someone to adore. With patience and continued guidance, I’ll keep blossoming into the wonderful companion I’m meant to be. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate friend who will stay close and fill your home with warmth (and a bit of drool), I might be the perfect match. March 16, 2026, 11:34 am

Story
Meet Delia, our resident “Unicorn Diva”. While most English Setters dream of the hunt, 1 ½ year old Delia dreams of the sofa. This petite girl decided early on that the rugged outdoors wasn’t for her—unless you count that one time she took an interest in a fly! Delia is a gentle, timid soul who is still finding her brave. Because the big world can be a bit loud (noisy gates and car engines are definitely not on her “likes” list), she is looking for a patient, nurturing home. She’s an expert at the “Army crawl” when she’s unsure, but once she feels safe, her big personality starts to shine through. Delia needs a dog sibling. Other dogs help her understand the world and give her a friend to romp with when she gets her evening “zoomies.” She needs a small to medium yard with at least a 4′ fence to keep her safe while she explores at her own pace. She is working hard on her house training but prefers the “business-only” approach to the outdoors—do the deed and get back to the AC!  At the end of the day, she is a world-class cuddle bug who just wants to be near her people. If you have a quiet home and a heart ready to help a shy girl blossom, Delia might just be your perfect match.March 11, 2026, 7:12 am

Story
Taco is a sweet, young Setter estimated to be less than 2 years old. Taco was abandoned from a hunting ranch in Idaho. He was found with a crushed crate by the side of the road. Good Sam’s got him safe and to rescue where he is thriving! Taco is affectionate with people and typical activity level for a field ES so he would be good in a family with children older than 5 years old.   Taco loves to play and would be best in a home with another younger dog who shares the same joy of shared tug toys and active play. Since Taco shows some separation anxiety, having another dog(s) or human available for much of the day would be ideal. Taco gets along well with other dogs. Cats are unknown. Taco would enjoy a medium-to-large yard to burn off his energy with a 4–5-foot fence to ensure his safety. Typical of most setters, Taco is quiet in the house and active outside of the house. He is now house trained and has learned some house manners and basic commands. He is still working on his commands as he came into rescue with no training of any kind. Since Taco was dumped in a crate, we have not worked on crate training with him. He does roam the house and yard unattended with two other male dogs without issues of damage to any type of property.  This is quite amazing for a youngster, wouldn’t you agree! Currently Taco is fed several feet away from the other dogs in the house as he was resource guarding upon entry into a home. This behavior has improved vastly with consistent feeding times and food amounts.  Taco rides perfectly in a car and will need additional leash training as he tends to pull a bit with a simple harness. Burning off energy in the yard and hunting rodents is his favorite activity of all.   Taco is neutered and utd on vaccines and tests. Taco Dogler is waiting for his forever home where he can shower his human pack with love and companionship.  Are you ready for a sweet boy with nothing but love in his heart?            March 24, 2026, 6:18 am

Story
Frankincense: More Than Just a Fragrant Name While his name might remind you of an aromatic resin, Frankincense is actually your potential new best friend. This striking fellow looks like an English Setter and German Shorthaired Pointer mix, carrying a classic and athletic appearance. In the shelter environment, Frankincense is shy and cautious. He is looking for a patient person who can provide a predictable environment where he can settle in at his own pace. He is the perfect match for someone who enjoys a quieter bond and the reward of earning a dog’s trust. Frankincense has a recent medical history involving seizures, but he has been stable since starting his medication. Many dogs with similar conditions live full, happy lives that are defined by their personalities rather than their diagnosis. He would benefit from a medical foster home that can provide a consistent routine to help him feel secure as he adjusts. While he is perfectly capable of spending time on his own, having a dedicated caregiver to help him decompress in a calm space will make all the difference in his transition. If you have a calm space to share, Frankincense is ready to find his sanctuary with you.

Story
Luna is a very sweet girl but super anxious and fearful. Whe we originally got her in October of 2023, she was 8 months old and the people kept her outside all the time. She is very skittish but loving and most of the time plays well with my 2 older dogs. More and more recently, she is starting fights with my oldest girl dog (partially her fault and partiality my oldest) but it is getting too the point that they don't separate easily and i have kids that I'm worried about getting in the middle. To make it clear, she has never bitten a human, just barks and runs away when she is scared. My mom has lived with us for 2 years and Luna will still bark at her for slightly moving but then will also come up to her for pets and to get treats. She needs someone that has more time to spend with her and probably less foot traffic in their house, I have alot of people in and out of mine.
